Thank you WION news presenter and Ms O'Donnell, this is a very informative videocast because it's always good to get new perspectives on this very complex situation. I hate to over use the expression, but there are so many moving parts in the evacuation and the Taliban take-over and now the ISIS-K presence that one needs to constantly step back and reassess the situation. What is clear is that we are seeing a country getting overrun before out eyes and as Ms O'Donnell pointed out, with a news blackout which means atrocities are surely taking place that we will only find out about much later. All of this because of a fumble by the Trump Administration, but it could have been by another country thinking it was the right thing to do. What is real is that Afghnaistan has been taken over by a rogue group of religious fanatics with a political dogma that is at odds with the west, and of couse this means that all countries at odds with western values will shoehorn themselves into getting a foothold and by doing so get to have portion of the considerable natural wealth that lies under Afghanistan's soil. One has to follow the money; where there is money to be made the political winds are decided by which band of thieves is at the helm. The Taliban hold the national power and it will either blow them up or make their bloody coup d'état psuedo-legitimate. It's checkmate for the west; the dark knights have siezed the throne. Moreover, the hardest thing to come to grips with is that anytime a country is governed solely by their religious texts, there are going to be a lot of people--notably women--in Afghaninstan's case, who are going to pay a tremendous price with their dignity and liberty.
