I cannot believe a United States General just said they share ISIS threat attack intel with the freaking Taliban who they are *relying on* for some security around the Kabul airport.

Sit and think about that for just a few minutes.

The US fricking military relying on the TALIBAN for security and relying on the TALIBAN to handle sensitive intel about imminent ISIS terrorist attacks...

Megh Updates is now reporting a 4th and 5th blast in Kabul.

Confirmation OSINT is now confirming a 4th, 5th, and now 6th blast in Kabul and heavy gunfight taking place in the Darulaman area.

Someone remind me what the big concession from the Taliban was that caused Biden to gratuitously close Bagram, rush the process, meekly refuse to condemn actions of the Taliban in recent weeks, etc.?
Up until Kabul falling the State Department kept saying they expected the Taliban to negotiate with us for a peaceful settlement. Best I can tell they thought the Taliban was ready to surrender to a retreating force.

So if Biden and DofS thought this was "inevitable"... the were lying their asses off and saying literal babble.

United States: Ya'll mind providing some security while we evacuate?

Taliban: We got you, fam.

This dude thinks that "overwatch" e.g. drones/aircraft is going to help with protection.

Yea, good luck with that.

He mentioned AC-130s with a quick response to a car bomb.

By the time, they identify that vehicle. They are going to shoot a round in the middle of this shite? Are we supposed to believe that?

The deafening silence you hear today is our corrupt political class in Washington running from the consequences of supporting Biden over Trump in 2020. As well as the press. And Big Tech. And the intel agencies. And half of the GOP.

Their credibility just bit the dust in Kabul.

This guy is so nonchalant it’s infuriating. I’ve seen weather forecasts with more concern for life and safety. He sounds like he’s talking about a traffic jam

Agreed. It's so bad that I'm saying at least the dude is taking fricking questions.

OSINT is still reporting that HUNDREDS of ISIS-K terrorists are overrunning Kabul towards the airport and that the US expects more bomb attacks in the near future.

“Deal with it” seems like an incredibly disrespectful response to 10+ dead Marines. Especially coming from a veteran.

ETA: in his next tweet he deflects by calling out the racists calling him the N-word and says they’re disrespecting the fallen.

The sad thing is that EVERYONE had at least a WEEK to prepare for this.

I remember posting a tweet that said hundreds of foreign fighters from the south were on their way to Kabul.

We knew they were on their way to Kabul and we LET THEM.
