Hope not, but they have no seeming disincentive to taking what they want there and there’s no chance they don’t want a reestablishment of the European buffer they once enjoyed and the status that comes with it.


Of course they want to return the holding the land and power they once did. NATO stands in the way of that, not the US, and the NATO nations have been increasing their defense spending.

how does this square with the report that he tried to flee with bags of cash that were confiscated?

Seems odd if he has $100 million waiting for him in Pakistan.


I think those bags of cash ($5 million) were probably used for his asylum fee but the real money was wired into some Swiss bank account. Once the money was confiscated the Tajiki's told him to frick off so he had to be rerouted to Oman but the good news is that he will coming to a neighborhood in the US real soon.

shite, Afghani Interpreters are trying to hide their English books and burning ALL of their military awards/insignia.

However, you know the Afghani Gov't didn't burn anything. There will be files upon files.




That stuff is on computers. More than one,backed up,shared. The Taliban will find everything. Hell, the Afghan Army will sell each other out.

Fox News just had a chyron saying something like... "US Serviceman Injured at Kabul Airport"

Not sure what that's about.

Too much money to be made.


The MRAP is an amazing case study. Yes, the vehicles absolutely were needed, but we made a shite-ton of them, then offloaded a chunk of them to BFE police departments and gave poor counties the financial burden of maintaining those vehicles, then we gave more to the taliban, and that was all inside of 14 years.

Even the post office has been cruising around in their shitboxes for longer than that.

Perhaps withdrawal could have gone better.

Perhaps?

I think this has been handled about as poorly as it could have been.

The Taliban and US have reached a deal to ensure that evacuations from Kabul's airport can take place without interference from the group according the AP.

The Hill

Defense Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Monday that he would not discuss the specifics of McKenzie's conversation.
