Afghanistan seriously needs to consider developing a nuclear program because it’s the only way to prevent the country from being invaded.

ISLAM means PEACE.
The Taliban are on the extreme side of the Muslim faith but they are Muslim.
US Democracy BOMBED 14 MUSLIM COUNTRIES.
Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Pakistan, Palestine, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia and Yemen..
The Taliban has not changed. their word is NOTHING..they just are saying what the people want to hear….and then when it calms down they will take over completely…The Taliban are just little men with big egos who like CONTROL….The Afghan women will never be equal or have any rights …..all a bunch of BULLSHIT…I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THE AFGHAN WOMAN…PRAYERS TO THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF THIS COUNTRY
Biden/Harris and entire democratic party are failures,,,,VOTE STAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET IN 2022 AND 2024

5. Take the square root of the difference to get danger of staying v. visiting/relocation.
Blame stupid biden
All the real reporters were murdered.
Hells Angels could conquer America…state by state!
Lester Holt…part of the delusional program fostered by the Media.
No i was there same time
Taiwan needs to develop nuclear weapons and does not need too many traditional American weapons. European and American countries must recognize Taiwan as soon as possible, and the United States deploys nuclear missiles on the first island chain.
This whole think makes me sick… So ashamed of our country … we use other countries for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Feel bad for the military training afghan soldiers with heart and soul for nothing
Take care of OUR COUNTRY meant to say
Why don't they let them fend for themselves we always have to get involved take care of country instead of the whole world
Ok we know where is the leadership of the taliuban in the presidential palace just bomb the dam place.
Impeach Biden
Impeach Biden
The Afghan soldiers learned their surrendering skills all on their own. If they won't fight for their countries freedom then why should the US?
Mr Lester Holt left the safety of USA to report in Afghanistan on multiple occasions… He is brave ðŸ‘ÂðŸÂ»ðŸ‘ÂðŸÂ»ðŸ‘ÂðŸÂ»
Where is the complete Nightly News broadcast for 8/16/21?
NBC "Wonders" where Afghanistan future went. Lots of people have reported the corruption of it's government and army. Many people predicted this. Time to stop calling what you do journalism NBC. ACTORS WITH MAKEUP ON.
75,000 men willing to die for their cause will always win over 300,000 men who don't really want to fight.
You are a true hero Lester Holt. God bless you!
People are questioning how a small number of Taliban could take over Kabul when we train a couple hundred thousand to fight…shouldn't we be asking ourselves that about what's going on today? Covid has a 98% survival rate, yet we're causing chaos amongst each other, the whole trans movement,it's a small number,but here we are,trans'ing everything,teaching kids it's ok…I get it's two different situations,but same concept,no? And the borders need to be shut down now
I am wondering why the US is behaving like a trumatized kid who has gone berserk after having been beaten up by a street gang. At home there is this losing battle against Covid and now abroad, leaving Afghanistan in the middle of the night to register for a place at a mental hospital?
But he's been there and done that Lester Holt has
This journalist will have a chance to invite the Afghan exiles to his home in an exclusive white neighborhood.
Biden was correct bringing American to there homeland. Let taliban goverment rule, and let the afgan people risist and fight if taliban oppresses them. Let them build thier own future
Your video doesn’t represent the truth. Where is carpet bombing that US did and butchered innocent civilian women, children and old people.
US empire occupation of foreign countries led to this monumental defeats by the Taliban
It WAS emerging from darkness, women for the first time in a long tome starting reading and learning, women started mediating and doing therapy. All this hard work crumbling down, for what?!
Politics aside…. Those climb to enter the plane is really like zombie surge….. Sorry to say that… But…
