The only thing this could get better is if the Americans accidentally shoot down the final transport coming to pick them up with the last unexploded missile they got left at the airport.

if they did anything at all, I imagine the idea from Taliban leadership would be "no one fucks with our authority, and especially not with how we're choosing to get the Americans the gently caress out of here"

it's the weirdest thing among americans that uniformed soldiers in a combat zone are apprently not valid targets for enemy forces to attack

Like how last year the media was shocked and appalled that Iran would retaliate against a military base as if we didn't just assassinate a high level official of theirs. What did you expect Iran to do? Bring the closest US troops milk and cookies and thank them for killing one of theirs on a whim?

"the faction we've been fighting for years is now blowing up crowds of people in the cities we are policing while we are trying to convince the population to trust us and go back to the business-as-usual mode" isn't great

The Taliban is also smart enough to realize that it's much less likely America comes back and fucks things up if they've left than if they have a presence and control a major international airport. The Taliban wants America gone with as small a chance of increased military presence as possible.

Best move for all parties is to close the gates, get the people already inside the airport out, then the American government bribing the new Afghan government to give remaining Americans safe passage to the airport once civilian flights restart. The airport and the crowds it attracts have become a target of opportunity and is a magnet for everyday Afghans blocking access just because they're hoping they can make a refugee claim.

British MP calling it a Taliban false flag

she said in parliament last week that the Taliban might provide safe harbour for ISIS-K, then had a meltdown when people on twitter called her a dipshit, going between "I didn't say that thing I said on camera" and "I did say it and I was right actually" seemingly at random

Just bought No Good Men Among the Living, supposed to be a good book about the failure in Afghanistan by the US because i listened to a good interview with the author on the Majority Report.

It's crazy to think the Taliban basically disappeared at the end of 2001, and only reappeared in 2005 and effectively won the war by 2006 because the US went so loving bloodthirsty btw 2001-2004, killing and rendering whoever they could find.

And these assholes want to kill more Afghanis. Its like they want to lose harder.
