Just how easy a target these C-47s transports would be for the taliban, so far incidents. Right now the taliban do not want any bad press and are expecting recognition and the financial support from the powers that be, a good question to answer would be how they were financed prior to taking power, trace the money trail. I suspect that there was money promised in order to protect our ground people, remember we been in Kabul for twenty years, those citizens that want to leave may just want to be able to live in a democratic society and provide for their basic needs.
History proofs just how patience this characters are, Russia got it's ass kicked back in the day also. Everybody in the US wanted to get out of that conflict, Trump set it up and Biden blew it as usual. Maybe there were clearly stated penalties laid down by Trump from the beginning to prevent a massacre of our troops and support people leaving, like a couple of AC-130Us ready and willing.
If we are lucky maybe Biden will get out of this with no real incidents or american deaths, right now the taliban's leadership has reins on it's fighters, putting on the best face possible for the press. When this evacuation is over that is when the fun starts, they will see a CIA agent on every corner post and will respond in their usual manner, hanging, beheading etc..etc... It will be a feeding frenzy with the religious hate groups or Holy War types, will they be contained at their borders or be let loose on the neighboring countries or overseas, Europe better be ready with these refugees, can they be vetted properly with their vast numbers.
✓Biden's biggest blunder was is lack of✓ knowledge of what was really happening with the rapid advance of the Taliban into Kabul...we all know he has issues with his mental capacities, the man is close to 80.. it is understandable. The real trouble now is how our enemies will take full advantage of this mismanagement of this withdraw, the next international incident will be coming down the pike soon, will he overreact and cause more harm than previously to help his party win the midterms after all it is all about politics. Even Obama does not even think that he can handle foreign policy, you can image what half the nation and the world thinks, we are in a very vulnerable position right now...
