Taliban soldiers, in American uniforms, holding American assault rifles, pose in front of a "decommissioned" American helicopter at Kabul airport. Today. August 31st. Right on schedule. The helicopter looks pretty well trashed, but I expect Chinese or Pakistani technicians will be able to make it airworthy in jigtime.
The US military and State Department are now boasting that the Great Skedaddle was a great success, since it cost less than a billion dollars in matériel left behind, and the lives of 13 American servicemen and women whose bodies were successfully repatriated on the weekend. Mission accomplished!
As for the 1000s of Americans left behind, The CIA (yes, really!) is already in talks with the Taliban to "procure" their release. So everything's OK then!
But still... How could the nation with the biggest, mightiest, most advanced military in the world get run out of a shithole country by a ragtag gang of goat fuckers herders? There are a lot of questions to be answered. I imagine the Congress will begin an investigation, just as soon as they finish investigating the "insurrection" of January 6th. Stay tuned.
