Inside the Taliban's Takeover of Afghanistan

Reporter Ben C. Solomon and his team were in Kandahar as the Taliban closed in. In a VICE News Tonight special report, VICE News looks at the sweeping takeover in Afghanistan and what's next.
VICE is, in my opinion, left of the left, yet I watch their news. For them to decry Biden’s failures, but blaming Trump, is very telling.

Basically this spokesman is giving a finger to America's hypocrisy on a whole range of issues including freedom of speech :(

If the Taliban is considered a terrorist organization, then what makes each and every country's government? A group of terrorists too?

COVID-19 gave us all a reality check, plain and simple, and the answer is obvious. Incompetency leads to poor decisions

:(

I think what Ben says here will very likely become true. Al-Qaeda will become stronger there and larger than ever. We did not totally eliminate them.
Also we just left the Taliban a billion dollars in high tech military equipment too so really worse than 20 years ago.

Idiot Biden.

General Milley warns of terror threats to US homeland..

JOINT Chiefs of Staff chair Mark Milley warned of an increased threat of terror attacks on US soil after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban on Sunday, according to a new report.
Milley told a bipartisan group of Senators on a call earlier today that the Islamist outfit captured the country far quicker than President Joe Biden and other top military leaders had anticipated,

My comment: No kidding General "the woke" Milley. The terrorist now have a big operating base in Afghanistan, can you say Al Queda verision 2.0.
