very typically the MSM interprets Trump literally, thus misunderstanding either intentionally or out of stupidity.

In Trump's rhetorics, numbers are not to be taken as acuurate values but rhetorical device 1000 years means long time.

And "Taliban" is a metonym, a part referencing the whole.

So what Trump is saying that the Afghanis have a long history of being brave fighters who always win in the end.

and the invaders/occupiers will lose.

And the current Taliban indeed seems to be smart, they understand that to indulge in an orgy of re venge would be very counter productive. By being very peaceful and rational they will pre-empt the hysterical talking points of the Western media.

The Western media hopes that the Talibani would kill and butcher like mofos, but they have already declared general amnesty to all, and declare they will respect the rights of the women etc ...

points form their first presser


No problem for women to get education all the way to college, and to continue to work. They just need to wear the hijab (like in Qatar or Iran). No need to wear a burqa. The Taliban insist, “all women’s rights will be guaranteed within the limits of Islamic law.”

The Islamic Emirate “does not threaten anyone” and will not treat anyone as enemies. Crucially, revenge – an essential plank of the Pashtunwali code – will be abandoned, and that’s unprecedented. There will be a general amnesty – including people who worked for the former NATO-aligned system. Translators, for instance, won’t be harassed, and don’t need to leave the country.

Security of foreign embassies and international organizations “is a priority.” Taliban special security forces will protect both those leaving Afghanistan and those who remain.

A strong inclusive Islamic government will be formed. “Inclusive” is code for the participation of women and Shi’ites.

Foreign media will continue to work undisturbed. The Taliban government will allow public criticism and debate. But “freedom of speech in Afghanistan must be in line with Islamic values.”

Will the US plot revenge against the brave freedom fighter patriots of Talibani? that's almost certain after the humiliation.
