I'm assuming that's the Pakis tearing up the Afghans?
The night vision equipment we left behind should come in handy for the Afghans, unless they sold it all to the Chinese.

What is the beef about?
Taliban are a constant source of terrorism within Pakistan. The Taliban group Pakistan supported durign GWOT (Kandahari faction) isnt the current Taliban govt. The current guys (Haqqani faction IIRC) are very anti-Pakistan. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is a huge source of tension.
Rural uneducated Pashtuns in Pakistan support the Taliban still and many make life difficult for the Paki govt. Pashtuns are the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan for reference.
tl;dr Pashtun chimpout

I think we can all agree, this is one war we don't want Trump to stop.

One thing is for sure, the Taliban has gotten a ton of great hardware thanks to Biden.

Nobody called it WWII at the beginning of the war either.
Why this one though?
There as been ongoing conflict in Europe, Africa and the ME before this one event.

Nothing special about this one in particular. But this, the shite in Gaza, Ukraine, the coming war in Iran, the previous spat between India and Pakistan. I think people will look back and claim the start of WWIII was a few years ago.

The politics in the region are pretty wild. I only have surface level knowledge.
There are so many factions fighting for power. I think the way it started was Afghanis would send their kids to Pakistan for religious studies (like how in middle age European families sent one off to a monastary). The translation of Taliban is what the Pashtuns call "students".
US Dollars flooded through Pakistan during the Soviet-Afghan wars and the Pakistan ISI (CIA) siphoned funds off and created the Taliban. Pakistan feels like they have some ownership over Afghanistan and the Taliban were their creation to cause chaos for the at the time Soviet Aligned Communist Afghanistan. That backfired and now they are dealing with the mess they created.
