Re: Afghanistan: US Service Dogs Left In Cages At The Kabul Airport To Be Killed By Taliban
The "escape route" out of Afghanistan to the north into the Stans is now cut off.

The "escape route" west into Iran is also cut off (as if the Iranians would open up that newly constructed rail line for Americans to use to being with)

The "escape route" east and southeast into Pakistan is problematic with most routes now closed

The ONLY way out for the Americans NOW is by air ... and for that they not only have to continue to control the airport but have to make sure the Taliban do NOT use anti aircraft rockets (ie: shoulder fired and bigger) against incoming and outgoing transport planes.

The Afghans are NOT nice when it comes to having an occupying force on the run.

In 1842 the British learned that lesson: "Out of more than 16,000 people from the column commanded by Elphinstone, only one European (Assistant Surgeon William Brydon) and a few Indian sepoys reached Jalalabad."

Are the Afghans going to follow their own history and PUNISH the foreigners who tried (AGAIN) to control Afghanistan?

Wasn't there a thread here that said the US abandoned millions of dollars in equipment? And now I'm reading on twitter that these folks are using that equipment?

While I don’t agree, I hoped we’ve learned as a nation that while you can take cavemen out of the cave, we’ll never be able to take the cave out of the cavemen.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80116109


That and unless you are prepared to fight and kill the enemy until they are defeated, then you are simply delaying their inevitable return to power.

The muslims are a patient, multi generational thinking group. They understood that, much like the Russians did, all you have to do is wait them out. Everyone eventually leaves. Except for the Taliban.

It is a brigade from the 82nd Airborne division.

There is some news about the quickly deteriorating situation the past few days but as you can imagine it's way worse than anything see on the news. Lots of beheading and executions are being conducted by taliban as they now gain control of most of Afghanistan.

I'm so angry with how this administration has handled this withdrawl of forces and so much of our military equipment is now in the hands of taliban.
 Quoting: TeknaBuzz


It was never about defeating taliban. Should have been angry at the lies that got them there in the first place.

They have already issued the ultimatum. Surrender Kabul peacefully, occupation government steps aside, and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan returns as the governing system. IF they don't comply, God help the Americans and their satraps.

The United States invaded another country based on the fact they accused them of hiding some dude.

Pentagon spokesman from briefing:

Afghan army has the advantage but has to have the willingness to use it's advantages. (Superior air power, organized structure, outnumbers Taliban forces and better weaponry)

Taliban is trying to isolate Kabul

Troops are going into harms way

Bulk of troops will be in Kabul by Sunday

Airlifts will be capable of moving 1000s per day

Speed of taliban advancements is concerning

Spokesman won't speak on battlefield assessment of current situation surrounding Kabul's access routes. (Wouldn't confirm or deny that Kabul is completely cutoff)

Key thing he said was that the Pentagon said they're not surprised at how quickly the Taliban has taken over which contradicts what Biden said just a month ago. Biden said a month ago that the Taliban was incapable of taking over Afghanistan.

Meanwhile UN Secretary says Afghanistan spinning out of control.

Getting ready to evacuate the embassy just like the fall of Saigon
Taliban within 60-90 days of taking Kabul, per Gen Jack Keane citing CIA revised estimates ( no link, was radio discussion yesterday)
 Quoting: Reality Czar dodger007


60-90 days? NATO has a special meeting now to evacuate all of its staff. Germany will give visas to its Afghan staff/interpreters and their families when they reach German territory, i.e. absolutely urgent to leave NOW. Taliban are only 50 km 30 miles south of Kabul. Therefore the need of 3,000 marines to keep them out until they evacuate everyone including Afghan staff like translators. Taliban could enter tomorrow otherwise. They said however they would not attack embassies.

The real threat to our forces won't come from the Taliban but all the Afghan citizens who have been aiding the US as they realize the US is completely abandoning them. It is turning our once allies into enemies.

Saw a video on twitter showing the Taliban taking control of 2 helicopters in a hanger.

It's going to get ugly when we start trying to destroy the equipment that has fallen into the hands of taliban. And I expect lots of propaganda from collateral damage.

Staff at the US Embassy in Kabul are being requested to also destroy all agency logos and American flags cited to prevent the misuse in propaganda efforts.

The fact that they're destroying everything means they're planning to completely abandon the Embassy. Rumors speculate that we may destroy the Embassy once we leave.

Also new reports coming in now that heavy fighting is ongoing near the capitol city of Kabul. First wave of Marines arrived earlier but I can't find anything credible that would indicate that its our Marines doing the fighting.
