America’s Enemies Celebrate Taliban Victory in Afghanistan
John Hayward 16 Aug 2021
America’s most determined enemies around the world celebrated the victory of the Taliban in Afghanistan this weekend, hailing it as a sign that the United States no longer has the power to interfere with their own ambitions.
China, which has significant investments in Afghanistan, offered its “friendship and cooperation” to the Taliban regime and claimed their victory represented “the choice and will of the Afghan people.”
Chinese state media portrayed the chaotic evacuation of American diplomats from Kabul, and the frantic fumbling of the Biden White House over the past week, as an echo of Vietnam and a sign that American power around the world has collapsed. The Chinese claimed betrayal of allies has been a hallmark of American foreign policy since the Revolutionary War and advised current U.S. allies, especially Taiwan, to take some grim lessons from the Afghanistan debacle.

Another thumb in the eye.
A US-made C-17 of the Qatari Air Force, flying in Iranian airspace, perhaps making its way toward Kandahar.
I'm guessing it's carrying Abdul Baradar, new leader of Taliban's Afghanistan.

Mullah Baradar, the co-founder of Taliban, lands in Kandahar, Afghanistan after 20 years via special flight from Doha, Qatar.

Unfortunate truth.
