my only points are:
They the Taliban did dig caves in the mountains as impregnable forces. So Kaboom.
The Pakistani ISI did as policy run weapons to the Taliban which are in Western Pakistan. 
The French, many who sided with Hitler after June 1940, wanted their empire to continue. Practically they had bled themselves empty during WW1. 
The Wall of China did work for centuries. So did Hadrian's Wall for 400 years. 
You do know I was suggesting the placing of forces in West Pakistan and turn any arms shipments to frags, Kaboom again. 
Vietnam War? I am with you. 

I would have been out for revenge 20 years ago, never nation building. The Muslims want Paradise and nations ordered Sharia are the means to further this goal. 

Their values are to get past death, and playing foolish games with the Kufar (non-Muslims) are secondary, tertiary, quaternary. Your way is preservation, theirs's is through faith, for the Christians is Jesus. Mine is, something like this, mechanism wise....
 



Your way may work (cold preservation) mine is way out past the present and relies on human survival (post-human peeps) and a significant budget for the Dyson Sphere. Maybe the ancient Egyptians should be revived first? Sun worshippers, surely not the Aztecs!

I don't know about that but as much as I hate George W Bush for the Iraq war and his mythical "weapons of mass destruction" I can't really blame him for going into Afghanistan in 2001, I would've done the same thing and I think almost anybody would.

What's with you and thermobarics? Sometimes it can be a mildly useful weapon under very specific circumstances (no wind, confined space, low humidity) but it's certainly no world changer.

 Supply chain? This isn't World War Two, we aren't talking about tanks, fighter planes and submarines; the Taliban already have five dollar AK 47s,  25 dollar RPGs, improvised explosive devices made with fertilizer and diesel oil, and plenty of domestically produced goat cheese, and that and their silly religion is all they need.  
 
> I would have had bases facing Pakistan and the ISI for immediate annihilation.

Immediate annihilation of who? It's been shown historically that fixed military bases do not work, General Patton said “Fixed fortifications are monuments to man's stupidity". The Great wall of China was a wonderful architectural achievement but a failure militarily, so was Hadrian's Wall for the Romans, so was Dien Bien Phu and the Maginot line for the French, and Khe Sanh for the Americans in 1968.

This is complete insanity. Most of what spuds and Samiya write is completely silliness.

What you're saying LC, is that what I replied in response to John's questioning on what I would do or might have done in regards to the 9-11 attacks 20 years ago or the Taliban today is unacceptable for you and thus, nonsense. I suspect it merely offends your sensibilities, in my case.

On the science related articles I linked to, um, the guys I linked, Prisco and Andersen are physicists, Turchin is a Russian futurist writer and cosmist. I like their writing, I liked the stuff written by Hans Moravec, Sean Carroll, Brian Greene, and your pal Sabine Hossenfelder. I cherry pick what I like or find compelling. I'd like physics and cosmology and mathematics to be helpful to human species. I don't view scientists as intellectually unassailable in their proposals or conclusions. Viewing researchers in such a fashion fashion reminds me of the claim of Papal Infallibility by another societal venue.  

Being accurate in physics does not translate axiomatically into being accurate in policy decisions. Or what's a Heisenberg for?

Should I throw in Troyfim Lysenko? naw, he was a mere biologist.
