Kabul airport is DEAD to me! (or just chaotic?)

The news is being pretty sketchy with what seems to be going on there right now. Is it just more run-of-the-mill chaos that we’ve seen for the last week?

Like Jesus descending into Hell... I feel badly for the U.S. soldiers who have to take the brunt of it. Being all suited-up and armed and act like traffic cops in the boiling sun, surrounded by a bunch of lying Muslims.

We can't take half the population of Shitstainastan out of the country. The problem is the U.S. occupation gave them a taste of 21st century life and now they want it. But they can't have it. Allah say no.

You lost the birth lottery, folks. Sorry. That is your country.

It's just stupid to stay until the last moment, except if Melanie's pregnant and you can't leave

The girlie magazines and the slim jims have quit selling here at Kabul Hudson Bookstore.

I’m surprised there are any women or children there at all. The men usually just leave them behind to be raped and murdered while they seek refuge “to work” for enough money to “send for them”.

I’ve seen worse

Twenty more people trampled early this morning en route to this doomed airport, including more children. I can no longer read about this. The stories are horrific.

It’s Vietnam all over again. America likes to cut and run once they decide it’s over. I know what some of the posters on here are going to start bleeting about twenty years and it’s their country etc. However, America went over there, and they gave those people a modicum of stability, while allowing them just a taste of what it is like to live in a modern country. The richest nation in the world can’t just throw its hands up and tell them all to fuck off just because they’re done. Whether you like it or not America has an obligation to at least get the people who worked for them and their families out as they put their trust in the United States. Otherwise it will be just like Vietnam, where many Vietnamese allies were murdered by the victorious Vietcong because America didn’t give a shit and wanted to pull out ASAP.

We trained their army and gave them 60 billion dollars worth of weapons. It's up to them to defend themselves. After 20 years, either they want to protect their own country or they don't.

Unfortunately, I agree.

R13: The fucking country is a tribal mess. And many within the American establishment knew about the problems that all that entailed years ago. But instead of trying to deal with it, corrupt cunts in the government covered it up so they could keep the tax dollars rolling to American companies. What is happening know is more less down to how the United States handled the situation. For example, some within the American military establishment wanted to tackle the corruption issue years ago, while concentrating more on northern Afghanistan, because that part of the country is less tribal. However, no administration wanted to face the facts, so they papered over the cracks and lied to themselves over what needed to be done.

There’s responsibility for what has happened on both sides of the fence and it doesn’t solely lie with the Afghans.

Donald Trump is joining us at r1.

by Anonymousreply 16August 22, 2021 6:22 PM

R1's comment depicts a pretty repellant mind on top of chosen ignorance. Anyone who wants to learn just a tiny bit about what's going on in Afghanistan right now has a zillion outlets explaining the chaos. R1 would rather just repeat anti-immigrant platitudes that don't speak to the specific situation in any way.

Trump made an agreement to leave the country now. He then released 5,000 Taliban from prison. Stephen Miller (who R1 possibly has never heard of and/or is a huge fan of) shut down the mechanisms for our state department to clear Afghans who helped Americans during the past 20 years. Remember, these people were assured the protection of the United States for publicly doing jobs that would result in them being beheaded in the streets if the Taliban came back.

And if you can read that and say "that's well and good but I don't like me no immigrants", they do not necessarily need to come to the U.S. They just need help getting out and then other countries will be taking some in. They just need our help getting to a safe zone where nobody will chop off their heads or limbs in the street while they are still alive.

Those poor soldiers in charge of who gets on the planes and who doesn't. They could really have used the help of the Afghan Army and government who spoke the language. But that never happened.

If they don't care about their country- why should we?

Are people still going to work at the airport? Ticket counter people are still showing up? Luggage handlers are still working? How are they commuting to the airport when customers can’t even get there?
