Is anyone else looking at Afghanistan?

I'm unhappy about the abandonment of these women in Afghanistan. Johnson's speech is the usual male-centred self-justificatory claptrap. Freedom, justice, equality and even terrorism - all of it only means anything when men or money are involved. These women deserve freedom from the Taliban, and support to find it.

I probably should add that Flightradar may well not be giving a complete picture of what aircraft are on the ground at Kabul anyway, or even what is in the adjacent airspace.

Do you have the upgraded app? I use the free version! Thanks for the info, that’s good to know.

No, I’m a cheapskate and use the freebie.

This is a v illuminating interview with a great female journalist about how this situation has arisen:

(This is a short excerpt, the full 54 mins is available on bitchute.)

The female journalist says that the US chose this outcome. I think maybe that they thought they could control it, but it has now run away with them.

I’m not sure much of what she said was much of a revelation and I’m not convinced the US are really Pakistan’s new best buddy in the region but there might be some value in some of what the journalist said.

As for it being planned - well the minute you pull out all your ground forces whilst leaving x thousand nationals in an unstable country you’re in danger of of losing control and ending up with the situation we have now. I’m sure many in both the intelligence community and the military will have told the Biden administration exactly that so I certainly don’t buy into the theory that nobody (e.g. the NSA or CIA ) saw this as a possibility..it more likely that it was a possibility nobody in the administration wanted to consider.

With that in mind if warnings were issued then if this all results up with major loss of life at the airport, especially American lives, then I don’t see how President Biden can stay in office.

Wouldn’t it be better to defeat the Taliban altogether? They’ve been pretty much defeated before...Surely the Forces of NATO can see this is a better solution for the world let alone the people of Afghanistan?
The USA leaving is causing chaos.

Afghanistan is called the graveyard of empires, Dave. They clearly were not pretty much defeated before, they just waited it out.
I don't often agree with Tony Blair but he is talking sense on this one.

Rory Stewart documentary on bbc2 last night was very good - insight into history and meddling of UK, US Russian for centuries. Would recommend. iplayer
