Taliban takeover of Afghanistan

10 U.S Troops dead, propably will be closed caskets and pieces missing.
What an absolute waste of lives of your troops while Biden knew this was comming.



Edit...it is still rising.

edit, double post

I don't see how Biden can ever live it down. I suspect he will resign at some point due to "health reasons".
I don't see how the Democrat Party can spin it.
I wonder if Biden is even aware of what is going on, just because they prop him up in a photo  at a table alone, or in a some other photo op, doesn't means he's even aware.

The Biden administration's policy in Kabul boils down to this: Let's trust terrorists (the Taliban) that uses suicide bombers to protect U.S. and Western evacuees from other terrorists (Islamic State) who use suicide bombers.

What can possibly go wrong? It just went wrong.

US pull out was started by Trump.

It's not Biden.

And what's wrong about US leaving Afghanistan ? The same assholes that "care" about innocent afghans today being left to Talibans were the same asking for US to leave yesterday.

Afghan population in majority is for an islamic government with charia laws. The ones at the airport are the one that were deeply involved with US operations and are for sure targets for Talibans. They are a minority, few thousands.

However, not a single dead body of any U.S soldier has been found yet.

it is because usually you find pieces of your former co-workers back instead of an intact body.
if it's at close range you propably will find an scorched torso within the tactical vest.

I suspect some might had missing limbs, good luck getting proper medevac in Afghanistan.

When NATO was there, we had medical facilities on all FOB bases.
Not the small outpost mind you. i mean the central FOB's for nation's forces.
Like ROLE-1 for basics up to ROLE-3 witch can do what most hospitals in the west can do.

And....There is now as good as nothing in Afghanistan.
It takes hours flying back to Dubai.
IED injuries can be very complex.
With combinations of shrapnell, internal body damage because of Blast, and severe trauma to limbs.

I tought i have seen incompetence in my time in service. But what is going on here border's on Treason towards your own troops.

Not at all.

The main enemy, Talibans, haven't attacked them while controling the country and being all around the airport.

The pull out is a total success since they are free to leave and can even take afghans that helped them with them and have weeks to do it freely.

This attack was made by another group that has nothing to do with the Afghan war.

i agree with you on that, I meanth how Biden screws his own troops there while laughing off any critisism at home.

Sources say it was a deliberate attack and well planned. Sources say Tali was blindsided but fought well. Losses among civilians are high. Losses among Tali are not known but some died fighting next to Americans, sources say. These sources can be trusted but they will at this time not tell all they know, which is understandable. At this time there is no reliable conjection as to who was behind the attack and who performed the attack.

Two words...Kamalla Harris

Yes, imho, she is definitely unfit.

She won't last long, not long at all. Pelosi is next in line after her but she's half dead, too. Kankles is the one to really fear if she can somehow worm her way in to the 'hand me down' stream.

#ISIS management of savagery teaches the Takfiri group to push the society towards chaos. #Afghanistan is a very fertile ground for Chaos because the #Taliban didn't expect to control the country in such a short time. /+

Also, #ISIS considers the #Taliban as enemies to be eliminated, and vice versa. Therefore, now that the Taliban is in power, it is in ISIS's benefit to destabilise a non-stable state that lived for 40 years at war, is poor, corrupted, and lacks serious infrastructure. /+

The #CIA planted roots in #Afghanistan. Its aim is to prove to the world that the #US President's decision to abandon the country was the right one. It is also in the intel interest to keep Afghanistan unstable for the #Taliban doesn't succeed where the US failed in 20 years.

Moreover, the stability of #Afghanistan will boost its collaboration with the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation & create a solid front against the #US hegemony & presence in West Asia. That is not in the US interest.

Bottom line: the US & #ISIS interests meet against #Taliban.

I think Russia and China will provide intelligence to the Taliban.

This is a proxy war now with, US/UK/+Some Western Countries/ISIS on one side and Russia/China/Pakistan/Iran/Countries close to Russia and China/The Taliban on the other side.

Who is Kankles? These people are controlled anyways but who the heck is Kankles?

7th explosion - back to back in Kabul

I'll tell you, I've seen all of the graphic I ever want to see, just can not bring myself to see the photos of the carnage.

I saw things working as a nurse I wish I'd never seen, and I watched all of the videos / posts of the Ukraine / Eastern Ukraine Civil war, never saw so many dead bodies (civilians) as in shelled citizens Eastern Ukraine, by Kiev government, but someone else will have to witness and remember these photos. I just can't.

ISIS have just claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing in Kabul earlier today. They claim the attacker was under 5m away from US forces when he detonated his vest.

FROM Politico

U.S. officials provided Taliban with names of Americans, Afghan allies to evacuate

“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official.

U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that's prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.

The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country. It also came as the Biden administration has been relying on the Taliban for security outside the airport.

But the decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.

A spokesperson for U.S. Central Command declined to comment.

After the fall of Kabul, in the earliest days of the evacuation, the joint U.S. military and diplomatic coordination team at the airport provided the Taliban with a list of people the U.S. aimed to evacuate. Those names included Afghans who served alongside the U.S. during the 20-year war and sought special immigrant visas to America. U.S. citizens, dual nationals and lawful permanent residents were also listed.
