To be perfectly honest I am surprised the Taliban are letting the evacuation happen at all, and now they are talking about bringing in helicopters and floating all about picking people up here and there as if it the situation is normal. I will be really surprised if they pull that one off. Yes it happened at the start but the Taliban were not in control then. I do hope I am wrong.

It also strikes me as crazy that one country is bringing in helicopters while another is destroying the assets they have on the ground before the evacuation is even complete, where is the logic in destroying the assets you have before the conclusion of your evacuation.
