Reporter Ben C. Solomon and his team were in Kandahar as the Taliban closed in. In a VICE News Tonight special report, VICE News looks at the sweeping takeover in Afghanistan and what's next.

VICE is, in my opinion, left of the left, yet I watch their news. For them to decry Biden’s failures, but blaming Trump, is very telling.
 
Basically this spokesman is giving a finger to America's hypocrisy on a whole range of issues including freedom of speech :(

If the Taliban is considered a terrorist organization, then what makes each and every country's government? A group of terrorists too?

COVID-19 gave us all a reality check, plain and simple, and the answer is obvious. Incompetency leads to poor decisions

:(

 
just a reminder to those who voted for Harris, er, Biden, because “orange man bad”…. You’re a fucking idiot and the root of what’s wrong with America.
 
The Taliban now has the 4th best equipped armed forces in the world thanks to President Bozo.

My comment: No kidding General "the woke" Milley. The terrorist now have a big operating base in Afghanistan, can you say Al Queda verision 2.0.
