- hindsightbias 5y agoSalafi jihadists have a way of burning themselves out. But there will always be a new wave. And the will of the non-Sunni Syrians and Kurds should not be underestimated. They didn’t roll over and walk to slaughter like the Iraqi Army. Those who make up the Taliban aren’t crazy. They play generational war. Have for millennia.
