Airport taking fire, already?
/\

Jack Posobiec has been getting tweets from the air port. Small arm fire and a little mortar fire outside, not on yet, the air port.

They have 155 and 175 howitzers , Soviet manpads, stingers, they can take that single runway out any time they want.

Sitting extortion 17 type ducks.

The question is are the Taliban well enough organized to manage coordinated extortion—when many of their troops want to celebrate, not negotiate...

175mm howitzers? Interesting, I thought they were phased out in the late 1970s.

The Tolly Bon now have operational control over practically the entire American trained, and supplied, Afghan Army which Biden was recently bragging about.

This is a historical disaster. One probably equal to disasters at the early part of WWII, and primarily due to the incompetence and inaction of this administration.

All of this and we haven't really calculated the future outcomes of such an Islamic victory.

A Duke Ferdinand moment, perhaps?

Pray for Israel...
