On August 15 afternoon, the Taliban announced that it had ordered its “Mujahedeen” to enter the Afghan capital Kabul in order to “prevent chaos and theft”.
Taliban fighters reached Afghanistan’s largest urban center in the early hours of the morning. At the time, the Taliban said that it is not planning to take Kabul by “force”. The group’s plans have apparently changed.
Zabiullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, said that the group fighters will enter certain parts of Kabul and takeover a number of outposts which were abandoned by government forces.
The spokesman went on to call on the residents of Kabul “not to panic” during the deployment of Taliban fighters in the city.
The Taliban will not likely face any resistance from government forces. However, the group’s fighter may come in contact with more than 5,000 US troops currently evacuating American diplomats and citizens from Kabul.
The group’s decision to enter the capital came a few hours after the resignation of President Ashraf Ghani. A senior Afghan Interior Ministry official confirmed to Reuters that Ghani had left for Tajikistan.
As the Taliban takes over what’s left of Afghanistan, some in the US are still desperately trying to spin the ill-fated intervention in the country as a victory.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement to ABC that the US successfully completed its mission in Afghanistan.
“This is not Saigon,” Mr. Blinken said referring to the infamous withdrawal of US troops from the Vietnamese capital in 1975. “The fact of the matter is this: We went to Afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission in mind. That was to deal with the people that attacked us on 9/11. That mission has been successful.”
The fall of the US-backed government in Afghanistan was in fact worse than what was expected, even by the US intelligence. Within a few days, the Taliban overrun most of the country, seizing along the way millions-worth of US-supplied military equipment.
Blinbin is a delusional tard.
This is not Saigon. It is far worse.
That diabolical, despicable, evil, ZioNazi, degenerate freak is absolutely correct: the goal of enriching the big military equipment suppliers with billions of fiat money was a complete success. Non-HeimyYidZionist blood is of little value to criminal bastards like Blinken and his ilk.
DO IT!!!
Too late sucker, they will be as fully accepted as any government can be accepted.
That is enough.
Go cry somewhere else.
Saigon!! Saigon!!😅
Teheran 1979 :-)
… and that’s the Afghan people’s choice to make however unlike the way the USA was trying to turn Afghans into little Europeans at least the Taliban share culture / religion with the Afghan people
If the US went to deal with whoever attacked them on 9/11 the Taliban were not part of that at all . The Taliban said give us evidence of Bin Laden’s involvement and we will hand him over as they made Bin Laden promise not to be involved with anything as part of their agreement too allow him to live in Afghanistan. The US said FU and invaded because they had no proof. When Bin Laden disappeared at Tora Bora December 2001 that was mission accomplished so by what bullshit can Blinking use to claim they needed to stay for another 20 years. By the same logic the US won the war in Vietnam and it was the media that lost the war. That is why the US took control of the US MSM so that they can report only what they are allowed too even if , and it usually is , total bull droppings.
