Afghanistan latest news as Taliban forces take Kabul: Live updates

The Taliban took control of the presidential palace in Kabul Sunday after the country's president Ashraf Ghani fled the country. Follow here for the latest news.

edition.cnn.com

I've been watching CNN-US all day today over the internet, and as a
North-Western European, i have only the following comment to add to
CNN's and Biden's argumentation about the (future) situation in
Afghanistan :


The American and European governments and bureaucracies have been very
slow to grant Special Immigration Visas for the thousands of Afghans
who assisted our troops in our anti-terrorism efforts in Afghanistan.

This has now led to a very chaotic and scary situation there, where
these people are even clinging to western evacuation airplanes as they
taxi over the runway.

It is a true betrayal of those who have been very loyal to us and our
interests (which they share), and for our next military interventions
against terrorists, we should plan better, and pre-qualify our local
allies for immigration once a country or region like Afghanistan is
handed back over to groups like the Taliban.
We should also make the troops, support staff, and airplanes or boats
available to effect an orderly retreat, not a hasty retreat as we saw
happen in Afghanistan.

And finally, we should prepare our domestic economies to harbor these
local allies from conflict zones, offering them free language and
culture courses for instance, along with housing and job-interview
assistance and even anti-PTSD assistance.

We can handle 200-thousand new immigrants spread out over all of
Europe and the USA and Canada. With ease.

All we need to do is properly prepare for such events.
It is our moral obligation to do so, and it is strongly in our
interests of showing the world through our actions, that our morality
is slightly more advanced and modern and kind than the morality of
groups like the Taliban.

And i have the following short-term advice for the Afghan locals who supported our troops :

Play along with the Taliban until you can move to the west.
Do not challenge their authority or their laws in any way.
Lie when you have to about having supported western troops. Have your friends and family echo those lies.

Afghans aren't on your side bud. Otherwise they would have fought against the Taliban.

Your countrymen are arguing about hosting Afghans. Even those Afghans that fought alongside your soldiers. The racist far right in your country doesn't want to host Afghans.

The days when one could dabble in easy regime change to control trade interests and exploit foreign nations to lower their GDP, and raise one's own (a la EU) is over.

those Afghans did translate for our troops, and some of them took up arms against the Taliban too.
and our right wingers don't rule us.

however, the days of easily pruning terror training camps, aren't. and shouldn't be.

Who denies that Afghans translated for your troops? Yet Western nations are bitterly divided about hosting tens of thousands Afghans. Let alone millions.

to say that we are bitterly divided over this issue, is an overstatement i think.
but our freedom of speech does allow for right-wingers and their partners in some media companies to print articles which show their concerns.

Biden abandoned the puppet he once supported,

Indians are not happy with the American President. This not the reason why Hindu Extremists worship American Presidents.

Biden have a low iq. he made the troop of us and nato fled in the worst possible way he could have imagined. This would make many politicians start to doubt his intellegence. The world will realize that america is governed by a moron..

Didn't Trump started it with his Taliban deal ?

The moderate Afghans weren't puppets. They are our allies in anti-terrorism efforts.
But because they wouldn't start fighting their own fight for more personal freedoms,
Trump and Biden brought US troops home.
It makes no sense to see your own troops get wounded and die that way.

Haha so true. Those people were just useful idiots for the American empire.

It was the Afghans themselves who wanted to stay, to see if there was a way for them to force the Taliban into negotiations. That didn't work, so we now have a hasty retreat. I'm not a fan of that, as i already stated in this thread.

It's over now. Even Ashraf Ghani said the Afghan Taliban has won.

it's the opposite they abandon Biden first, 300,000 ANA soldiers just vanished into thin air...
An Ashraf Ghani magic trick that surpasses the best of David Copperfield.
