I won’t be surprised if they take out the air strips with artillery and just trap everyone. No planes in or out. Loads of hostages. That’s money in the bank right there.
How could our government be so stupid?
I’m actually very surprised the runway hasn’t been hit with a cratering charge. Not sure if we should call this Biden Bien Phu or Joegadishu.
I'm not an expert on these savages but it seems the Taliban just want all the “westerners” out of the country. It's the ISIS carrying out the attacks, they likely have few “people” over there, no access to heavy stuff (hence the suicide attacks) and generally are the competitor/enemy of the Tally dudes. Taliban are barbarians but this time they want to get some sort of international recognition as the official gov of Afghanistan so they try to appear “moderate” at lest until foreigners are gone. If Taliban wanted to kill people at the airport, then indeed they could do that easily using just several medium mortars.
