State media in Russia and China have been scathing of America’s withdrawal.
The Americans' defeat “is humiliating for Washington and obvious to the entire world", says Russia’s official daily Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
"A devastated Afghanistan and a shocking humanitarian disaster… this land is filled with artillery fire and gun fire, poverty and hunger, death and parting," says a commentary in the state China News Service agency.
State outlets have also heavily criticised America over recent security incidents in Kabul.
A Rossiya 1 TV correspondent alleged US marines “in panic opened fire with rifles at unarmed people” after a suicide bombing outside Kabul Airport on 26 August.
China's Global Times accused the US military of "hiding" the truth about the alleged shooting as well as a US drone strike, which killed 10 Afghan civilians, including children.
"The two 'accidental killings' of civilians can be argued to be the epitome of most US military operations," the paper said.
America has not commented on allegations that US forces fired on civilians. The Pentagon said the suicide blast was followed by gunmen firing on civilians and US military.

Well, we didn't waste a moment pointing out how stupid the Russians were for
their defeat in Afghanistan.
Life comes at you pretty fast.

A Rossiya 1 TV correspondent alleged US marines “in panic opened fire with rifles at unarmed people” after a suicide bombing outside Kabul Airport on 26 August. I'm curious to know if this is true, although I don't think we would hear about it if it was, and if it was true, I don't think most Americans would care much.

I have fond memories of photos of some acquaintances from the past that were skinning Russians alive.

It isn’t just our “enemies”. Sky News in Australia is letting us have it too.
