Saigon 2.0, Kabul falls without a fight, Americans are fleeing

Taliban fighters early Sunday entered Kabul, freeing inmates at the city’s main prison and triggering a massive effort to airlift Western diplomats and civilians as the country’s demoralized security forces offered no resistance.

The inmates are anti-American jihadists.

The painful irony in all this is the leader of the Taliban has an active Twitter account but the former president of the United States does not.

Hours ago, the Taliban started entering #Kabul from all sides, according to the Afghan interior ministry. The group’s leader says Taliban fighters have been ordered to refrain from violence in the capital, allow safe passage to anyone who chooses to exit, and request women to head to protected areas.

The Taliban, in control of all border crossings, are waiting for the Americans to leave before they assume power. They control all border crossings and the only way out is the airport.

The Taliban spokesperson said girls will be allowed education and women can work. There will be peace.

They also said all will be forgiven and the people should stay in their homes. They say banks and commercial centers will be safe.

US officials were completely unprepared.

Helicopters lifted some Americans out and others left in diplomatic vehicles.

  1. “The painful irony in all this is the leader of the Taliban has an active Twitter account but the former president of the United States does not.”

    Not “former.” Trump won and he is still president.

  6. Good point!

    All these people saying ‘we’ should have stayed in Afghanistan do not mean themselves. They mean young men from de-industrialised cities.

  7. This shows the utter ignorance of Western Civilization. This country Started with seeking Freedom. We weren’t prodded into it by a Super Power.

    I’m no historian, but I know enough about the history of those people. When Islamic nations (Dar al-Islam) were at their prominence they attributed it to Allah. When the Ottoman Empire fell to the West there was consternation among the Imam’s. They determined it was because Muslims strayed from their past. That began an entirely new approach to living, returning to their past. It’s how the Muslim Brotherhood, and all their offshoots, came about. They fight against modernity and it’s the reason Egypt has kept them sequestered. This is how I knew Iraq and Afghanistan cannot maintain a Western Democracy. Rest assured, they believe Allah will punish them if they seek Western influence, and WE tried to force it upon them. So much for Elite Universities and their “Middle Easter Studies” programs.

  8. Of course it’s Exactly like Vietnam. First the French went in and couldn’t do it, so then We went in, and left with the enemy at the door. In Afghanistan, the Russians went in and couldn’t do it, so then We went in, and left with the enemy at the door .

    Whoever the reporter was asking Biden, will that same reporter castigate him Now.
    I sure wasn’t aware the Taliban had a twitter account. How many remember what brought the Taliban to the news. Not Bin Laden.

    • “The French colonial period in Vietnam officially began in 1887, when Vietnam was referred to as French Indochina. It lasted until 1954, with a break between 1941 and 1945, when the Japanese took over during World War 2.”

      That’s over 60 years of Colonial Rule! The Viet Minh (Vietnamese freedom fighters along with help from USSR and China) Vietnam finally defeated the French military (which had some assistance from USA) – The fall of Dien Bien Phu was a disaster not just for France but also for the United States who, by 1954, was underwriting 80% of French expenditures in Indochina. According to the Mutual Defense Assistance Act , the United States provided the French with material aid during the battle – aircraft (supplied by the USS Saipan ), weapons, et. to no avail….

  9. The painful irony in all this is the leader of the Taliban has an active Twitter account but the former president of the United States does not.
    My question is, why does anybody have a Twit account? There are other platforms out there. Drop that drug addled freak, quit making him and quit making Mark Zuckerberg richer and more powerful.

  10. Comrade Dorsey is celebrating in private as are the Chicago comrades by the worker’s collective champagne fountain.
    Nice optics there Twitführer and tell us how you are on the right side of history.

  11. Another F U by this incompetent Obama puppet. This buffoon hasn’t had a foreign policy that worked in 50 yrs.

    • Such fond memories when I was in Nam, watching that chopper landing on the roof of the embassy to evacuate American personal!! The similarities are stunning!

      • It wasn’t. Most browsers don’t show comments right away. I’ve only found One that immediately displays comments. So you may not see this for awhile.

    • Let’s be honest here. This cluster flop started with Georgie Bush, followed by eight years of Obama, and 4 years of Trump. None of them could fix this mess run by CIA, NSA, PENTAGON, geriatic political leaders and China. What do any of these people know about convincing a bunch of uneducated dope smoking goat herders to take over and run their own country? It was doomed to be a failure from the onset. Now what do these incompetent leaders tell the families of the thousands of our troops who died in vain? That is the real TRAGEDY here!
