I've been wondering which way this was going to go. Whether the agreements were in place for Afghanistan to anchor that section of the new silk road or if they were going to be the troll under that part of the Eurasian land bridge.China has been waiting to capitalize on this opportunity for 20 years.

And with Saudi Arabia signing a new military agreement with Russia, well I suppose that means the petrodollar is looking a little ripe for destruction.

Taliban is ‘hunting Americans,’ says California mom-to-be left behind in Afghanistan | Fox News
The American, who just got married and said she is pregnant, says she wonders if she will die in Afghanistanwww.foxnews.com
Not sure how that makes her woke. I can forgive her for not knowing they were Brits, but those are not our uniforms or our rifles. You would think that a General over the training command would at least know that much. Not that she probably sees much other than dress uniforms.Nothing to fear, our best are leading....

At what point is this on her? She flew to get married in June. The US began evac'ing non-essential personnel in April. The State Dept advised against travel and warned that evac options were limited:
State Department's travel advisory in April:
Afghanistan Travel Advisory – Level 4: Do Not Travel
On April 27, 2021, the Department ordered the departure from U.S. Embassy Kabul of U.S. government employees whose functions can be performed elsewhere.
Travel to all areas of Afghanistan is unsafe because of critical levels of kidnappings, hostage taking, suicide bombings, widespread military combat operations, landmines, and terrorist and insurgent attacks, including attacks using vehicle-borne, magnetic, or other improvised explosive devices (IEDs), suicide vests, and grenades.
Terrorist and insurgent groups continue planning and executing attacks in Afghanistan. These attacks occur with little or no warning, and have targeted official Afghan and U.S. government convoys and facilities, local government buildings, foreign embassies, military installations, commercial entities, non-governmental organization (NGO) offices, hospitals, residential compounds, tourist locations, transportation hubs, public gatherings, markets and shopping areas, places of worship, restaurants, hotels, universities, airports, schools, gymnasiums, and other locations frequented by U.S. citizens and other foreign nationals.
The U.S. Embassy’s ability to provide routine and emergency services to U.S. citizens in Afghanistan is severely limited, particularly outside of Kabul. Evacuation options from Afghanistan are extremely limited due to the lack of infrastructure, geographic constraints, and the volatile security situation.
US embassy in Afghanistan in April:
Commercial flight options from Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) remain available and the U.S. Embassy strongly suggests that U.S. citizens make plans to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible. Given the security conditions and reduced staffing, the Embassy’s ability to assist U.S. citizens in Afghanistan is extremely limited.
Actions to Take:
- Make plans to depart Afghanistan by commercial airlines
- Have evacuation plans that do not rely on U.S. government assistance
