Biden Administration is preparing for Afghanistan capital Kabul to fall to the Taliban in as little as four weeks – despite previously predicting the city would be able to defend itself for a year
US Intelligence officials are warning that the Afghan capital of Kabul could fall to Taliban forces in as little as a month, or within the next 90 days
That's despite US-trained security forces that 'far outnumber the Taliban' and a 'capable fighting force of 300,000 troops'
Initial intelligence estimates had pegged the fall of Kabul to Taliban forces at six to 12 months following the departure of the US military
