Lets be honest, if i was american and i invaded your country and locals wanted to support my occupation i would look down on them too. The reality is your a traitor and a lackey, the americans behind doors will see this and know this. The idea that the occupying force is going to show any favour towards cowards, opportunists and traitors is silly. Traitors should never expect special treatment, your the lowest kind of human, hence why dogs got to go but the traitors had to hang off the sides of planes.

How the Russians and others get involved will remain to be seen given taliban is not a cohesive force either

So the plan was to run to Uzbekistan and use that country as platform to come back to Kabul. Sounds good but somebody forgot to let the Uzbeks in who ended up shooting the Afghan plane down. Suddenly this plan looks more dodgier then the first one which was supposed to defeat Taliban using the much feared Afghan Special Forces whose tweets many members were posting showing they were give the Talibs a good beating.

Uzbekistan shoots down fleeing Afghan military plane


BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan / TASHKENT, Uzbekistan / BAKU, AZERBAIJAN
Uzbekistan air force shot down a fleeing Afghan military plane, while Tajikistan said at least 143 former Afghan soldiers who escaped the war-torn country have landed in three planes and two helicopters, local media reported on Monday.
On Sunday night, an unnamed Afghan military aircraft crashed in Uzbekistan's southeastern Surxondaryo district, according to a local Uzbek news outlet. Two pilots of the plane survived the accident and were sent to a military hospital in Termez province for treatment.
Later in a statement, the Uzbek Defense Ministry stated that their air defense forces intercepted and shot down Afghan military aircraft that violated their airspace. The ministry confirmed in a statement that two pilots ejected before the jet crashed and survived.
At least 143 former Afghan security forces members fled to Tajikistan in three planes and two helicopters, according to Tajikistan's Ozodi Radio.
When Taliban troops overran Afghanistan's northern region Mazar-i-Sharif on Sunday, at least 84 Afghan border guards and former Vice President Marshal Abdul Rashid Dostum fled to Uzbekistan, local Uzbek media.
The swift takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban movement prevented any country from planning scheduled avocations for its residents in the war-torn country.
President Sadyr Japarov of Kyrgyzstan issued a statement on Monday directing authorities to contact and collaborate with Kyrgyz nationals stranded in Afghanistan and make plans for their early evacuation from the war-torn country.
Meanwhile, the Azerbaijan Defense Ministry said on Monday that the 120 Azeri soldiers stationed and serving alongside the Turkish army at Hamid Karzai International Airport to provide security are safe and will continue to fulfill their responsibility.

Got sick of all these attention on women rights by US media and twitter posts.

What do they think that will happen with all those pointless articles/posts.

There are 2 real questions that needs to be asked.

1-) How US abandoned their allies.
2-) What happened to $Billions that have been spend on Afghan security forces. Why did they fail?

But no, let's post on women rights now and cover those questions. If they were so concerned with Afghan women rights, why there were no such outcry when US sat to table with Taliban months ago? Everybody knew this day would come.

They can post trilllions of articles on the net, i doubt Taliban would read them and have a change of heart.

I couldn't agree more. Both questions need addressing. It exposes the hypocrisy of the Americans. However, unless one highlights the issues that the population faces in light of the Taliban takeover, it would be a disservice.
