Afghanistan: Taliban now only 7 miles from Kabul
The first British troops have begun deploying to Afghanistan to assist in the evacuation of UK nationals who remain there.
About 600 troops are expected to take part in the operation, which will also help with the relocation of Afghans who face reprisals from the Taliban because they helped British forces.

Biden: “All going to plan, nothing to see here boys,”.
@prince of pain not trump – Obama
Meanwhile Trump was the first AND ONLY PRESIDENT TO NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST…EVER!!! It’s his deal that’s EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO ACTUALLY WATCH THE VIDEO OF HIM SHAKING HANDS WITH THE TALIBAN 😂😂😂
Maybe it’s always been the plan… People used make fun of the conspiracy theorists in the late 90s talking about geopolitics NWO agendas and destabilization of the middle east. I remember one general was blacklisted for speaking about it he said the plan went Iraq Syria Afghanistan and Iran needed to collapse for whatever greater agenda to happen. Doesn’t all seem too far fetched given the probability of where everything is now compared to then. People are more concerned about political rhetoric and division to care what happens behind the scenes. Another large proxy terror attack and people will scream for blood in Iran like clockwork.
I agree with prince of pain didn’t trump the chump kill and got the general assassinated
Airlift of Kabul in 10 years we will watch documentary on History chanel about it.
& how Biden supplied the Taliban with USA weapons & more !
@SCHOOLTHEWORLD G. F. Y. S
Let’s hope they can shoot down some US planes, just add little bit of drama
In 10 months
but not before the History Channel makes 100s of more shows about ancient aliens
Did sky news just call the Afghan national army a formidable force? Hahaha
Many are being recruited by the Taliban.
Yeah and Arsenal are a European powerhouse
@Freedom Goat Farmers? or maybe u can call them undefeatable trained militia who have been fought and defeated USSR, and mock US with their advanced tech. 🤣🤣🤣
Yea they’re diaper warriors, they’re literally shitting but we can’t see that
@Freedom because they’re surrounded , Pakistan has numerous taliban outfits sponsored by the state and trained by the army, kept ready just in case

Watchman Nee
That’s pretty good.
Honestly, i have a difficult time believing these people are not able to withstand the Taliban. Who is funding the Taliban- that is where we were to best focus our efforts.
Watchman Nee obviously never learnt man-overboard recovery procedure…
At this point the Taliban are untouchable
I really like that quote. I’m gonna have to use that. Often. Very often.
They said Kabul could fall within 90 days. Looks like they can take Kabul within 72 hours. 🤷🏽♂️
Yep it going to faster
@David Dixon so now Iran? I think we have had enough. Just get out of here. Everywhere the British go, they leave a mess.
@Igy Pop exactly 💯
@TechLife45 this is the world since created
@Soy News BIN MADE A BIG MISTAKE HIS PLANES SHOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO UN BUILDING WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF! TODAY!
EasyJet and RyanAir can only dream of landing that close
I can hardly fit in EasyJet…
If only the Afghan army had half the courage and spirit that that woman has.
Another simp or feminist that has no idea about the situation decided to make another cringy brave wahmen comment! 😶
The Afghan army is smart , they failed western Plan to create civil war behind them . George Bush jr chose wrong target . Trump was on right target and that is Pakistan the source of jihad University .
@Apple meow
@rolling stones keep crying. Cry baby
Woman is talking out of her arse
It is interesting how the Pentagon was publicly estimating 90 days until Kabul was threatened, whereas the Russian government publicly estimated 2 weeks. So either the Pentagon is incompetent or lying. Reminds me of the Royal Navy incident in Crimea, where the Russian government’s version of events turned out to be true, and the British government blatantly lied about it, but then went back on themselves a few days later. It isn’t a good look when they can’t tell the truth to their own people.
@Captain Europe shhhhh commie
Good point but don’t stop there. Just how deep do the lies go. The country falls without a fight to a ‘brutal’ Taliban whos OMG worst atrocity is.. Wait for it.. To take over a radio station – o the horror. So just what is the reason our leaders do not want an Islamic govenment? Why are we always at war with Islam?
@LostVayne GP US did same things in Soviet–Afghan War. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
@Motto Baaj My Afghan friends say otherwise. Many atrocities happen behind the scenes. In the end they rule by terror. They despise the modern way of thinking. Taliban are armed goat farmers.
@LostVayne GP M16s, Humvees? Indian helicopters?
300,000 members of the Afghan armed services. Sure, the US/Uk shouldn’t have withdrawn when they did, but it is the Afghani army’s shortcomings that are to blame for this utter capitulation.
It’s 300,000 on paper so that the greedy commanders could get more money for ghost soldiers. It happened in every province. Most of them are not even fighting, the letting go of their front line and fleeing. The whole government is corrupt and sold. Now they will flee, the ones that have money, but the poor and innocent people will either die or endure hardship.
First of all, the blame is on US and for the most US alone for turning Afghanistan to this. And amusing to think that desert terrorists are more capable of Afghan army which are trained and equipped by the US army!
Here is the Afghan army training https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8LSnuGTO5w
Afghanistan isn’t called the graveyard of empires for nothing
it was a democratic state now itll become a Taliban empire
It’s agonising to watch. What a total cockup. How NOT to execute a planned withdrawal. God help the people , especially the women. Back to the dark ages . Tragedy
If it’s a graveyard of Anyone it’s the Afghan people
