As for the equipment. Either it was left there by mistake (an absolute colossal fuck up, one so large i cannot see how it was an accident) or they were left on purpose. For what end? I have no idea.

Either the whole unit defected or traded it for passage out of the area, or it wasn't operational. No one really talks about how much of a maintenance headache the Humvee is, and just how brutal on machinery Afghanistan is. Even if you want to pretend the Taliban have a cadre of capable mechanics able to cannibalize the running one, all those Humvees the taliban are cruising around in will be boulders in twelve months.

If poppies can grow in Afghanistan they can grow almost anywhere. I don't buy the opium narrative anymore than I buy the MIC narrative of them just wanting to test their toys, if they wanted to test shit they would have just signed a deal with the Taliban to test them on some poor shmuck who ate some bacon or forgot his 9037258762nd prayer of the day. The MIC just loves seeing people suffer and much like politicians they would rather a million people die outright than kill 100k and fix the problem immediately.

Its not that they can grow poppies, its that fields are isolated enough to avoid DEA interdiction. No civilized country is allowed to grow poppies in that large of number without strict controlls. Afghanistan, being a complete shit show, can just shrug, and because of how collapsed things are, they can't just force Afghanistan to accept a drug-control mission. The Elevation and terrain mean they can't just launch napalm flights from a *Stan or China.

Before invasion, they were paying the Taliban to burn the fields.

Why leave military bases in the middle of the night without even telling your supposed allies?

We did tell our Allies. We told the government. They then proceeded to not tell the generals or local commanders becasue they didn't want what's happening now to happen until the Americans left. (and the in-country americans did nothing to stop the inevitable because they didn't want the same).

They talk about guns and shit being in the local a markers. That was already happening . That was already going on. What changed was how open it was, and they had a new influx of weapondry, which except for the AKs captured from Afghan

Notice the airfields were compromised, but no one got into the important areas.
 
This is fine.

There's a saying, the best time to plant a tree is 15 years ago, the next best time is today. This is how it always was going to end, this was always about funneling taxpayer money into corporate hands and eventually trickling it down to the politicians.

We never should of gone in, we should of left after whooping their standing army, every year after the first was exponentially worse. I don't care how bad the Taliban take over is going to be, every day longer spent there is a mistake.

Apparently the Iwo Jima Taliban picture is a stunt or psyop or whatever. Seems like the Pakis are split between mocking them or supporting then.

Big X to doubt on those troops getting to Kabul before the Taliban.
They're already in Kabul.

And he's authorizing it today?

Well, I guess we'll see if the Rapid Ready Brigades can still deploy in hours.

I mean, 1st Cav once deployed to a region in little more than 16 hours. But that was 20 years ago.

I don't think Kabul has 16 hours.
 
What a fucking disaster. Twenty years in that wasteland and God knows how many Americans dead and billions wasted for their government to fall this fast. They deserve it honestly, you had two decades to build up for this and you somehow made it look like your government never existed on it's own in the first place.
The govt hasn't fallen. The whole country has gladly handed back to the Taliban after 20 years of occupation by enemy forces.

How much of Eastern Europe did The West have to fight for to install democracy? None of it. The ruskies pulled back and the countries were happy to have them gone.
