Only solution is a strong Afghanistan Government with strong backing of US/Nato.
Only a strong government can handle taliban kind of insurgency,nothing else.Some Talib supporters are thinking only if USA withdraw,Afghanistan will be house of cards like 90s again.But they're wrong.What ISIS offensive in Iraq showed,even though in early stage,these democracies need help from powers like USA,once united,they can solve their own problems,gradually.Same will be for Afghanistan as well.Only problem is,in the case of Afghanistan,there is a massive backing for Taliban(some 40% of their armed caders belong to a perticular state) from foreign states,and it'll take time to win this war.
Time and tactics are the keys to wear down these sort of insurgencies.
First.. Defend against taliban offensive.
Second, Improve the talib affected regions to cut off these medieval swines from the mass.
Third, Counter Offensive and regular monitoring to keep their activities in check.
Fourth, Fence Af-Pak border and start strict vigilance.For India,fencing and placing sensors turned tide of the insurgency.
Fifth, Airpower.absolutely essential.
Sixth, highly motivated and trained professional soldiers.Not half hearten starving soldiers who readily surrender.For Afghanistan,sometimes help comes way too late.That should not be the case.
Seventh, Superior firepower.Afghanistan must bring armor to turn the tide.Talibs are armed with RPG-7,that means there is no means to harm MBTs.MBTs supported by AFVs can easily handle any talib offensives.
As brits say,Slowly slowly catchy monkey.
Forget what you wrote above
The US has satellite drones advanced Tec compared to Talibans and for 15 years they failed
