Supposedly warning shots in the air. Hopefully no one will need to get shot at, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that ends up happening.

With everyone in the world looking on I'm guessing the Taliban aren't going to violently murder thousands of civilians.
The US on the other hand will probably blow up a neighborhood or 8.

the us will blow things up and then blame it on the taliban

yeah but the sad thing is half of these people seem to be originally anti-war types themselves who've been stockholmed into believing the occupation was a good thing overall. The voices saying 'this was always bullshit and was always going to happen' seems to be vanishingly small compared to 'oh well you know, i don't support war but we needed to stay there for the women and children, possibly forever'.

If you wanted the US to leave Afghanistan you are responsible for anything the Taliban atrocities. US atrocities were just a "heavy toll," and not as bad.

You can just attach parachutes to the pallets of cash and push them out of an aeroplane as it flies over the enemy. No need to even stop moving.
