Interesting

Those still blaming this disaster on Biden or Trump, Zal or Ghani, Afghan or US militaries still miss the key fact: Pakistan's GHQ had long planned a full-scale invasion, which began May 11 & ran until Kabul fell on August 15.

Which basically would mean that Pakistan defeated America, not Taliban (or was it ISISK or was it Al Qaeda or was it.....).

China is in a race to start sending feelers for Taliban. (they also abstained from voting in the UN)
Afghanistan is probably home to what may be the world’s largest reserves of lithium – the key ingredient of the large-capacity lithium-ion batteries that are widely used in electric vehicles and the renewable energy industry.
Chines company eying a pie in this story irrespective of what everyone thinks...Their thinking is that they have dealt with Pak so they can deal with Afghanistan...so its a finger licking good type opportunity that the Chines govt and their cos sees. Afghanistan is also rich in several other resources such as gold, oil, bauxite, rare earths, chromium, copper, natural gas, uranium, coal, iron ore, lead, zinc, gemstones, talc, sulphur, travertine, gypsum and marble. In return, Talibunnies will get some money and toys and make China their daddy.
They are waiting for the air to settle down and start contract and negotiations.

You are an enlightened person to bring the member's @Bhairav ignorance in this debate.
In case you haven't noticed, there's more written by him after the fourth word.
More importantly what's being said by him is on topic. We may or may not want to answer the question he put.
And please stick that STFU up yours and start behaving like a DFIan.
Exactly bro! I was trying to point out why his record is stuck on "This is Trump's fault", not his biological disability. but some people find it very hard to differentiate bw them.

The only policy that is being followed since he gained presidency is reversing all of Trump's policy. The only exception being the Afghan Policy. However, even here, could not keep himself from "reversing the order in which evacuation needed to be done" (roughly quoting Trump).

Well this is what America deserves. This is the most voted president of USA. Either he has lost all of his braincells or he is being an ignorant piece of crap like anyother US Prez. He is repeating the same mistake that Bush had done in 2001, making a terrorist group a partner in their fight against terrorism. Then it was triggered by 9/11, now it is 8/27. Then it was AQ, now it is IS-K. Then it was Paxtan, now it is Taliban. They have been constantly ignoring calls from their natural allies like Israel and India.

As per reports they have disabled all aircraft and highend military gear ( by removing or destroying parts) in the airport, started doing this days before they finally left. Chucking thermite into aircraft with fuel and possibly ammo while you are still around might only work in Hollywood movie IMO.View attachment 107615
Wonder how they got rid of the crashed stealth black hawk in Op Neptune Spear then. They could have drained most of the fuel as well. Anyways, it shouldn't be that hard to sabotage an airframe, especially of a craft like a C-130. Just damage some bulkheads and longerons with a blowtorch, forget thermite. There are already pics of some aircraft with damaged instrument panels. That C-130's instrument panel was intact.
Another way was simply to rig small explosives to blow right after their last aircraft takes off. Then there is all the guns and NVGs they left behind. Overall, its clear US didn't make a through attempt at destroying military equipment.

If the Americans had destroyed the aircraft, how was that Talibani Black Hawk still flying over Kabul with a man hung from his neck dangling underneath it yesterday?
.
And here Anas Haqqani saying they want to fix these aircraft.

Americans left behind cash too?

You just woke up to that fact? LoL. They left Millions behind in cash.
