Kabul has fallen. Inside a week, all 7 Corps of Afghan Army surrendered: 209th in Mazar, 203rd in Gardez, 205th in Herat, 207th in Kandahar, 205th in Helmand, 217th in Kunduz & 201st in Babul.
It's surely the best guerrilla warfare victory by a force 3 times lesser in size.
BREAKING: Afghan officials say the Taliban have taken the southern city of Kandahar, the 12th provincial capital out of 34 to fall to the insurgents. https://t.co/nWik3KTm5D
@davidfrum Afghanistan is complex. Anyone who pretends that there is an obviously correct move for the US to make in regards to that country is simply uninformed.
Going in was a bad idea. Pulling out is a bad idea. Staying is a bad idea. There are strong arguments for all those positions.
Initial government info on Kabul explosion suggests more than 30 dead, and close to 100 wounded.
The explosion happened late at night, so exact details wont become clearer until tomorrow. Officials say it's clear that it was deadly -- and size of blast suggest no less.
Aftermath of the explosion in Kabul’s PD9 close to the Green village. At least 100 people wounded in the explosion, multiple security sources tells me.
Some Colombian and Mexican fans lifting up an Egyptian fan in a wheelchair in the fanzone so he can watch his country play 😩❤
It's really more than just a game 🙏
