Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

I'm telling you, look for a dirty bomb event. Maybe that's how the Taliban will celebrate 9/11.

The Taliban isn't actually stupid. While don't really care to improve their image, they aren't going to actively start another war against themselves. Letting off a dirty bomb would even drive -China- to hostility against them as it's a massive step too far.

The nuke idea is incredibly unlikely, but amusing to think over.

Any nuke on the ground would have to be some Suitcase nuke, so to speak, nobodys trucking in a random ICBM warhead. I find it incredibly unlikely Pakistan would have given them one, if they even had the capability, because the slightest chance that it could be traced back to them would not be worth the interventionist invasion. Same goes for China, nobody would want to let a nuke just loose out their even if they would swear up and down that they're allies.

Which would make the only possible nuke a US nuke. It'd be 100% up the glowies path to have a hidden nuke in Afghanistan in case they needed to start shit, and for it to have gotten left behind in the rapid withdrawal because no way they told anyone about that. And if the Taliban got it, and somehow could set it off...

Well imagine the world stage reaction when a US nuclear device detonates in Kabul, and the Taliban can prove its a US nuke. That would be the *only* situation that the Taliban would 'win' from a nuclear detonation, permanently marking them as the victims, wiping out an entire city of what is, in most cases, collaborators and ex-government that they want dead, and taking a mass of american soldiers with it.

I would sooner bet my life on biden performing a perfect backflip while shredding some Sabaton on a guitar than this even being *possible*, but its fun to speculate on.

But I do have confident the Taliban are going to start executing collaborators on the 1st. They're gonna try to avoid foreigners, sure, but its gonna be a slaughter otherwise, and they're gonna be daring the world to do something. Nobody wants to reinvade Afghanistan (Except the warhawks , I guess) and its going to be extremely hard to get public support for such a move if the people dying aren't your citizens. There will be a lot of handwringing and condemnations, but I don't think anyones gonna be willing to throw fire and steel at the issue if its sufficiently 'internal'.

By the way, just checked this on Twitter - according to State Dept. leaks from the 23rd, only 26.000+ people had been evacuated from Afghanistan.

Which means for the dumbshit Ginger's and BlueAnon NPCs' claim of over 80,000 evacuated to hold water, we will have needed to have flown out more than 50,000 people in the last 48 hours.

Have any autists checked FlightAware or whatnot to see what planes have left Kabul, and if those numbers add up? Because I'm pressing X big time.

Like all things lolcow and gayops-level, there is always a kernel of truth in the cornfield of lies.
They have indirectly told us 2 things.
1. They know how many americans are stuck in there, invalidating the "iunno lol" schtik they tried
2. It's 80k, since 80k actual Citizens would make them look good.
3. They're deliberately fudging the numbers because duh.

You don't need flightaware to know 50k people in two days is a lie. The average daily people coming in and out of LAX is 25k atm.
I don't think a fucking skeleton crew can magically create international airport levels of organization and resources.

They may start on the 1st, but my bet is they save letting it be known for the 11th.

BTW: We need to hog tie Null and not let him leave during Sept. If this site goes down for a week, that is going to suck donkey ballz.

It's worth noting, out of an attempt to steelman TaterFarmer, that he is saying a Dirty Bomb, not a full on nuke. A dirty bomb is a traditional bomb with nuclear material set up to spread around the area when it goes off.

My bad, I'm talking a suitcase bomb like they let off in subways and stuff. Not a warhead or traditional explosive bomb.

THIS is much more likely than a dirty bomb.

Then that was my miscommunication. I was talking about radioactive payload, not explosive destruction. I thought 'dirty bomb' was referring to the radioactive payload.

You guys are acting like the Taliban has anything more that the arms we gave them + one of hunter's laptops.

Tater is, it's part of why I greatly disagree with his take. Though it seems the largest issue he and I have is differing ideas of what a "Suitcase Bomb" is. Outside Soviet claims to have made one, none have actually been produced capable of radiating shit.

How, though? Surely the Pakistanis, as hopelessly inbred as they are, wouldn't be dumb enough to give a WMD to their client forces? And surely there's no way that a USAF tactical nuke could've wound up in Afghanistan?

For the record, I don't think they have a nuke. But if they did, it'd likely be a (potentially neglected to the point of being non-functual) Soviet model that went unaccounted for after the collapse of the USSR. I feel like we would've already seen it go off, though, if they had a working one.
