HOW THE MEDIEVAL Dynasts in Congress leave party, high TALIBAN OVERAWED command worried 21ST CENTURY US MILITARY

The strength of the Taliban is their over simplistic command, control and operational structure based on local or geographic administrative support. It is loosely knit, and a complete loss of any module doesn’t affect the overall efficiency.

What shocked the world the most about the Taliban was their blazing speed and unpredicted victory against the mighty US Army, which was equipped with the most modern and next generation arms and ammunition. The Americans used the “Mother of all Bombs”, drones, helicopters and aircraft and several other Artificial Intelligence

(AI) driven weapons of war and assistive devices including satellite imagery in Afghanistan. All that the Taliban had were a few AK47 rifles, rocket propelled grenades (RPGS), a few hand-held and shoulderfired missiles and some captured arms and equipment. The Taliban moved around in pick-up trucks and motorcycles, while the Americans used Chinooks and other helicopters and heavy armed multipurpose vehicles.

Sensing that younger leaders are getting disillusioned with the functioning of the party, Rahul and interim president, Sonia Gandhi, have decided to bring in Priyanka Gandhi Vadra into the picture. Priyanka’s success in getting Navjot Singh Sidhu as the Punjab Pradesh Congress chief is being cited as a reason for her being drafted for the job. However, it is also common knowledge that the siblings on many issues do not see eye to eye, which could pose further problems instead of solving them.
