Here's a decent article from The Guardian detailing those coming into power at the top of the Taliban:

The public doesn’t need a filter, it needs to be told what the frick is going on because the mainstream media won’t do it and the politicians selling this country into communism aren’t going to do it. Filtering is why we are in the situation we’re in now as a country and with 50% of the population brainwashed

“An Afghani interpreter I have come to know well over the years was hung in the streets last night. They melted his DoD ID into his chest. Cut off his arms. And killed his family.
His 10 year old daughter was spared and handed off to leadership.”

Through this entire thing and reading stories from that part of the world, it makes you appreciative for what you have here. I feel for those people.

Are there reports of Americans being killed?

I haven’t seen any, but with all of the chaos, there’s no way to know at this point. If the figures of thousands of US citizens trapped in kabul, and some having to shelter in place is accurate, it’s almost guaranteed.
We won’t know until time passes and people are reported missing and never contact their relatives again. They may be ok for now, but god help them when the last US plane leaves.

Per the Guardian. Hmmm... this seems contradictory to what the US has said?
quote:
US Ambassador to Afghanistan Ross Wilson has sought to dispel rumours that he and other embassy staff have already fled the country. He tweeted “Contrary to false reports, @USEmbassyKabul staff & I remain in #Kabul working hard to help 1000s of US citizens and vulnerable Afghans & continuing engagement here. Our commitment to the Afghan people endures.”

I don't believe a single one of these stories without video evidence.
If we learned anything from Syria, BLM, COVID, etc is that Twitter is rife with phony stories designed to tug at the hearts of useful idiots.
We have seen video of Afghans falling from US aircraft and Taliban riding bumper cars. We have yet to see video of all these people murdered in the street or Taliban going door to door like Bidens Vaccine Posse.
Not saying it hasn't happened before or couldn't be happening now, but without attached video every single person on Twitter should be treated as an intelligence operative pushing an agenda.
*We must all remember that narrative is more important than facts. A narrative of door to door hit lists and public executions is exactly how you convince the American people we need 200k refugees, billions in aid, and to maintain military presence for another X number of years.

I know exactly what and who you’re talking about. I swear she’s the real life embodiment of Ms. Choksondik from South Park.

Per the Guardian.
quote:
There are reports that Afghan president Ashraf Ghani destroyed the opportunity for a two-week ceasefire when he fled Afghanistan. The agreement had been brokered by government and Taliban negotiators and depended on Ghani resigning from his position and the opening of talks on a transitional government.

There's certainly videos floating around of dead bodies lining streets. Can I confirm they are from today? No. A few links have been posted on the ot and pt if you look for them.

Ok well that’s up to you, but theres a communications contractor on the ground videoing and live streaming and he said they’ve seen them executing people in the streets on video feeds from their balloons/blimps.

Great news everyone! China has now declared they’re going to run active drills in Taiwanese waters due to them provoking it!

I've seen enough reports of the door-to-door stuff to believe it is true. I've seen video of dead bodies in the street throughout the Taliban's march to Kabul. I've read/listened to reports from the ground that schools have been closed and women won't come out of their homes. I have read from a poster on this very site who had been in contact with someone who has people in Kabul who are in hiding and have said the door-to-door search is happening.
I have also read reports/articles and direct quotes from Russian and chinese diplomats who are putting a a world of propaganda spin on the situation that doesn't jive at all with actual video and firsthand accounts from people on the ground.

It seems that the only way this ends is civil war, no?
And by that I mean a long drawn out civil war.
