A few years ago it appeared to be a unique threat because it had territory. Now they've lost it. What's left for them to be, an international underground terrorist network of Sunni Islamists? Your services are not required, ISIS, we already have al-Qaeda.
So what's up now with ISIS?

The Taliban are not stupid. They will either seek them out and behead them...or they will pay them. At this point, this attack only harms the Taliban.
What, I wonder, is the point of conflict between the two?
It also harms the U.S. in that we lost Marines -- but that, while tragic, is not a matter of any strategic significance.

By supplanting the "government " of Afghanistan, the Taliban has assumed responsibility for security.
Today's security failure was just the first of many that will undoubtably make life for average Afghans a constant horror show.
Actual thoughts and condolences for the people of that war ravaged country.

It's called Isis-K. It is an Afghanistan wing of Isis. They have as many as 10,000 members. The "K" refers to the historical region of Greater Khorasan, which covers Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan and others. they are led by a warlord Shahab al-Muhajir, a former al-Qaeda fighter, who is known as the "Urban Lion" because of alleged skills in terrorist attacks inside cities.
On August 15, the Taliban took Bagram airfield and released 5000 terrorist being held there and another 5000 from the Pul-e-Charkhi prison in Kabul which held many Isis fighters. So now that the Afghan Army has collapsed and Biden has re-armed the enemy, and those prisoners, we can expect them to create huge crimes against humanity in what's left of this year, and next year's fighting season.

Fake news. There is no ISIS. Trump had a secret plan to destroy them.

I don't think there's such thing as a "fighting season" any more -- the concept dates from a pre-mechanized time when weather mattered a lot to armies.

I am not diminishing this. However, the Taliban want international recognition. This is not the way. The Taliban contributed to this by releasing prisoners. But make no mistake...ISIS and the Taliban are enemies. Not friendly enemies...they hate each other.
Why are they enemies? Their ideology appears to be the same.
