The handles here successfully maneuvered him to do so I guess. They got a world cup in this regard.
The main point here is .... why discuss some random fake twitter fake information. US is doing drone strikes based on Taliban intel .... period. Blame it on Taliban and local sources as well.
OK.. If Indian Army conducts cross border raid on Pakistan, based on ISI Intel, who would you blame, Indian Army or ISI 🤔

I'm curious. On what basis does he claim that the Afghanistan debacle cost Pakistan 80,000 lives? Economic losses? Laughable claim to me.
Paki are very very good at making lies commonplace. This narrative of ~ "70,000-80,000 lives and 150 billion USD loss" has been built up only recently in the past year or so, and is replicated verbatim by their Govt officials, media anchors, civil society members. They guys are just too good at it. It helps them play the victim with the Western officials and media. It is only ironic that the force that neither acknowledged their slain soldiers from the Kargil conflict(numbers go north of 1,000 from their Northern Light Infantry) nor declassified their files, has accurate data about everything else.

A similar crack has been the presence of "700,000 security forces" in Kashmir. No one knows how they get to these numbers but they are fairly consistent in using these bogus numbers.

Sounds right - straightforward propaganda. Doubtless it will be accepted internally.

If 70000 are the number then Pakistan lost 3500 people to the bomb blasts and other incidents. Considering that any major attack will be reported in the press of Pakistan. One can estimate 10 people dead every day in Pakistan because of terror.

I think that many blasts have not happened in Pakistan. Close to 9000 may be.

Regarding their claim, may be they included the causalities because of Army kidnapping civilians in Balouchistan, Karachi and KPK for interrogations, zarb-e-azab in which they went after Pashtun settlements.

Taliban flying an American-supplied UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter over Kandahar today.


Now it is clear that it is part of the deal. Must have been given training and operational manuals along with service package. The details will come out sooner or later.

Whole US media narrative is running with the hares and hunting with the hounds. These fork tongue snakes want the world to feel bad for ordinary Afghans at the same time making sure they get screwed with their under the table deals.

After the withdrawal of Soviet forces from afghanistan most of the pilot's serving in the ANA were left to fend for themselves as the US refused to let them in the armed forces again. The CIA believed that these former soldiers could have communist tendencies and thus sabotage their equipment.

I expect these former and current ANA pilots to now form the bulk of the aviation wing under taliban.

Most will join them due to ideological leanings and others will join them to save their necks.

Going by Trump’s recent comments these weapons were not part of the deal he drafted.

Naked Emperor Biden high on the blanket support he gets from powerful media knows that he will get away with anything. Trump can scream as much he wants but the perversion of minds these people have done will never make a dent to current regime who is doing quid pro quo with Taliban (details of which are not being allowed to come out).

Sounds plausible. Just to add, modern aviation or airforce plateforms especially US have quite a diffrent learning curve than Russian.

could be defected pilots & technicians too. Taliban will keep doing these stunts to create an air of legitimacy among afghans. so par for the course, so far.

I’d say if the blackhawks continue to fly 6 months from now, then it is a issue.

And these Generals will win wars.

Biden’s Pentagon spokesman John Kirby doesn’t know how many Americans are still stranded behind enemy lines in Afghanistan

how will they know? Not possible.
Recently some months back even india faced the same issue, MEA had to send out a messages for Indians to get registered at the embassy.

IAF transport aircrafts back to bases after Afghan evacuation operations

Indian Air Force transport aircrafts, deployed to evacuate Indians from Afghanistan, have returned to their respective home bases. IAF had deployed its C-17 Globemasters and C-130J Super Hercules aircraft for evacuation operations of Indians stuck in Afghanistan. The operations after the takeover of Kabul by the Taliban were also carried out under extreme conditions. The Garud commandos of the Air Force also had joined hands with the ITBP personnel posted in the crisis-hit country.

Pakistan on Monday warned of potential spillovers from the Afghan crisis, saying the world would have to deal with a "huge mess” if its advice on the war-torn country was ignored.\

Humiliation of US after the bomb blast & whole humanitarian crisis has increased manifold & now with a dangerous cyclone & covid resurgence as well as vaccine hesitancy, US will be more inward looking but still india has interest aligned with them, we just need to nudge them as why ,who were responsible,keep nailing Al bakis in official engagements ,we still have major defence deals to conclude with them 30 predator drones,6 more p8i,39 apaches for IA as well as 2 istar aircraft from raytheon ,US is in fatigue it only needed bakis for a safe & respectable exit from afghanistan which they didn't deliver ,uncle sam will screw them at a later date,we just need to focus on our strength in Indo-pacific &QUAD
