Taliban Take Over Kabul as Afghan President Flees CountryDemoralized Afghan security forces offered no resistance as the insurgents, who seized most of the country in just over a week, appeared Sunday morning on the capital’s outskirts. About time for the USA & allies to understand that remaining in Afghanistan will not change the fact that by force there is no lasting chance. We have the right to defend ourselves but we have to let the Afghanistan people to define their future moving forward. Was this president pocketing money for the last twenty years to escape? The US is so gullible. Of course. He failed his people. Biden was right to pull the plug. No Army, no matter the training, equipment or air force, can win if they lose the will to fight.

Afghan president flees the country as Taliban move on KabulAfghanistan’s embattled president left the country Sunday, joining his fellow citizens and foreigners in a stampede fleeing the advancing Taliban and signaling the end of a 20-year Western experiment aimed at remaking Afghanistan. The Taliban entered the capital early Sunday and an official in the militant group said it would soon announce the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan from the presidential palace — a return rich in symbolism to the name of the country under the Taliban government ousted by U.S.-led forces after the 9/11 attacks. The militants had earlier moved into a city gripped by panic, where helicopters raced overhead throughout the day to evacuate personnel from the U.S. Embassy. Joe POTUS ... not happy to feel this way, but he seems to be in way over his head. Looks like he’s been puppetized 지옥은 농담이 아닙니다 RedemptiveBlood

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani flees to Tajikistan amid Taliban entering KabulThe move comes just hours after Taliban militants entered the outskirts of Kabul and sought the unconditional surrender of the nation's central government. Feckless leadership. How many billions has he pocketed? U.S leaving is not a bad policy, it's an inefficient pull out! We should be able to do better for our personnel, troops & native collaborators! US and China cold war is real. Taliban was initially ousted by US in its refusal to allow Afghanistan to become a gateway for oil from Central Asian countries. Today it was called back by US, to stop Chinese projects in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries.
