Who didn't see this coming from a mile away. The answer is the Biden administration.
https://youtu.be/TqCZ5diUq-Ii
What incompetence.
America messes up everything look at Syria Iraq Libya…..worry about your selves and leave the rest alone you don't see China interfering !
The US is officially an Idiocracy
So this gross U.S. intelligence failure should result in the firing of top Pentagon officials, unfortunately this won't happen.
If by Intelligence failures you mean Presidential failures then I agree.
1:13–1:17 when the Taliban Practices more Gun Safty than 60% of US Gun Owners
For any one who pointing finger on afghan local army such as they surrender to taliban or ashraf ghani didn't order to fight with taliban.now us army starting blame game on aghan war.while Entire Nato werr sleeping 20 years in aghan war with taliban.
America is no morr super power after loosing 20 years of war very shamefully and total disaster of everything trillion of money and killing of innocent civilians and destroy afghan infrastructure via aerial bombing and etc. One thing is clear Fight can not win by large number of troops. Or latest equipment
These guys did better then the idiots that invaded our Capitol Hill. About time the Government come together fast before the Taliban is sitting in the White House with Biden his son and Trump will be in their own Guantanamo Bay as prisoners
The nightmare unfolding is a simple case of reaping what you sow.
The Afghan military was and probably will always be a joke. Your new masters will be the Taliban whom you will serve. Please don't try to co.me to our country. I hope the Taliban catchup to that little weasel Ghani
The Pentagon/CIA/army generals needed to be fired! dereliction of duty. Their LOSERS.
ClusterF…
very weird they can predict an attack of terrorism in my country Philippines and evacuates all of it's citizen days before the attack yet fails at Afghanistan
👌
The US veterans should question the government. Why were you there? To help protect the Afghan ppl? Obviously they didn't want the US there.
Report the REASON why the US was there! OIL and CONTROL.
Perhaps now we will stop to make movies about all these supermen and superwomen serving in the CIA, etc.
I don't think I need to bring back memories of our "intelligence" before the 9/11 tragedy, or, "the weapons of mass destruction"
I remember when the US troops were pulling out of Syria, the ISIS leader Baghdadi thought this was the moment to stage a comeback and so he advanced like what Taliban did today, only to be met with deadly force of the US troops who swiftly struck back and got him killed. A beautifully executed evacuation plan, isn't it? Now that is what I call an orderly exit. BTW, the middle east was peaceful with Abraham treaties signed between Israel and the Arab nations. The threat of ISIS was all but non-existent. A terrorist leader in Iran called Soleimani was killed decisively by a drone with a precision surgical strike…. The whole middle east was under control. All these were achieved by one president in just 4 years, in spite of the constant barrage and bombardment of trashing and bashing by the Lame Steam Media 24/7
Ah! All these good olden days. Wait, what ? It's just in 2019 and 2020? Gosh! What a difference a couple years can make ! (or shall I say How time flies !)
How many generals have run the war in afghanistan in 20 years? Not one of them had anything to say? not one? They are like our politicians traitors serving the military-industrial complex. The first thing to do is not let one muslim enter the US and no dealing with any muslim state.
Intelligence on afghanistan? Naaah, we are too busy analysing americans telephone conversationss.
How USA failed the world by taking all the resources and money from that country and abandon them later without a single try.
Who picks the thumb nail pic?
Dept of propaganda
It is because We(USA) are in clearly and fast decline now meanwhile China is now the new global leader along with the Russians, simple as that!
Joe Bide,, fake voters and CNN are dancing on the USA lost of Afghan war and so does the world.
I don't think taliban is muslim or do they know what islam is but i have to say this
Just like you don't like islam and our beards and our sharia(law) we don't like you and your law
Is not the us fall is the choices that the country turned to
God have mercy on the people
But God is in control I don't think this people are Talib they just tire of everything .
This so call Talib has taken so call control are not in control my hope that God turns thins around for the people I believe that God can do all things for men is impossible but whit God all is possible
No one missed anything. Except those of you missing sons, daughters, mothers, fathers etc. for 2 decades
Doesn't matter how good or bad the intelligence is if their is no desire to fight, change or overcome . So, please move on from Afghanistan with the rest of the world. Isn't there ANYTHING else newsworthy happening on this country?
Biden you will pay for this. America. You are so evil.😈😈😈😈😈😈👹👹👹👹
This is sweet revenge for Taliban
This confirms Joe Biden is the Commander in THIEF
who was never elected…The MSM and Big Tech
must bear responsibility for this mess..
People were thrown off their sites including Trump
and were NEVER allowed to ask serious answers..
Gen .Milley went WOKE and the Military went BROKE
This also confirms the FAKE MSM and Big Tech are
the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE because they COVERED UP
for incompetent Biden and his Administration
US is horrible of fighting with communist countries and now the Taliban. Saigon 2.0 is in the making.
jeeeezzz…those poor scared people clinging to the side of military jet taking off…can't shake that image off..
and then seeing people fall off in midair…now, that's traumatic.
i will have to drink more now..
hope Americans get the message…some peiple are just not into your democracy and human rights obssession…give it up.
the withdrawal plans were neglected because all intelligence were focused on coming up with the needed report on the Chinese covid origin, which will be used as pretext for a war with China…thus the mad rush to leave Aghanistan, and amass resources and have allies prepositioned near the SCS already, like Indian, Australian, British ships, etc
the fiasco threw a monkey wrench on all of these..silver cloud linings, it may have stopped the march to a nuclear war..
It Fell because they didn't want to FIGHT…they just walked into the CAPITAL.
1,2,3, action! CUT…. Dammit Jamar, stop smiling. We are supposed to look vicious and evil as we casually sit around allowing the media to photograph us.
Because you know, as good terrorist we want our faces seen worldwide so governments & people can identify us.
The commander in chief makes the call. Don’t blame the intelligence agency. Blame joe jr.
1000 Afgan trained soldiers dont have a chance against Talibans , be logical but yeah the Afgan's are the scapegoats . Iraq is not Afghanistan and opium is opium who gets it , will understand what i'm saying…
Only one thing can be said , "Joe Biden's Incompetence"
