I think it's possible events may be shaping up toward a Taliban-like end here, where there's a sudden collapse that surprises everyone because we haven't seen how much damage we've done, or will do, to the RG, and instead we're overly focused on the minutia of what is really fairly light resistance, magnified because it is all we're really hearing about.

We are in a far stronger position than is really coming across.

We are in a far stronger position than is really coming across. And our military commanders know it.
