Biden is a fkn idiot! Trump planned to evacuate all US civilian
personnel and Afghanis who assisted, interpreters, etc., ,  before
removing the military equipment and personel. Biden has now created a
massive fkup that makes the Vietnam withdrawal look like a Sunday school
picnic!

How many Taliban do you reckon will kill themselves trying to fly them?
Or will they swap them to get the 12 billion odd dollars of Afghan funds
that the US is holding?

I don't think they give a fuck to be honest. They earn plenty of money
in the black market/drug trade.

By accounts when Hitler woke up he wasn't in the least bit phased by the
news, apparently he was quite excited.

Lol!

One of the problems with being a micro pedant keith is that you leave
yourself open to revenge attacks, which then leads to all out war. These
serve no purpose.

See, the original 'quote' by Jesus at the stoning was (paraphrased), "let
he who is without sin cast the first stone". It was *not*, "let he who
hasn't committed adultery cast the first stone".

So you "slavishly agreeing" with anyone was *not* the sin(s) I was
suggesting. You got it wrong.

If you take the trouble to look what aircraft they are, it's very
doubtful that they would be interested. Clue - they aren't state of the
art jets.

Yep. There is nothing that's been seized by the Taliban that has any
cutting edge technology that will interest foreign governments.

Felix has absolutely no idea what he's talking about, but then that's
nothing new....

That would be you when talking about in depth automotive stuff. All you
can do is parrot stuff you get from Google as if it is your own.

Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.

Indeed.

The RAAF and RNZAF have taken off again, en-route to Kabul. RNZAF C130
Hercules ALBO5 has just landed in Kabul, RAAF C-130 Hercules MAMBO30 is
about 1 hour 30 mins behind. Lots of USAF C-17 Globemasters in the air,
and on the ground. Been the most busy day at Kabul so far. Just heard on
7 news that the US has done some sort of deal to allow more people
access to the airport. God speed to all.

Why not also post in aus.aviation? People there probably more
receptive to this sort of news.

Not a fan of crossposting.... I'm on a new pc, and need to add
aus.avaition, and several other groups, when i get around to it..
Most of the sensible people who read aus.avaition would be looking at
the issue anyway... the wannabe's will make themslves known shortly.

Oh, and RNZAF's "ALBO5" was on the ground at Kabul for maybe 20
minutes... already 1/3 the way home, wherever that is...
