The Turks made a field trip to Bagram [BAF] to see about running the airfield as well as Kabul since the taliban know zero about running an airport. The taliban were experimenting flying [taxi mode] their new gifted UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters. Tail #'s will be sent to USDoD. Happy flying buckwheat. Isn't Turkey still a member of NATO?

Türk askeri Afganistan'dan dönerken, Taliban'dan teknik destek talebi

Taliban'ın kabil Havalimanı'nın işletilmesi için Türkiye'den teknik destek istediği ancak Türk askerlerinin de 31 Ağustos'ta ülkeden ayrılmasında ısrar ettiği öne sürüldü.

the Taliban is seeking help from Turkey to operate the Kabul airport, but has said that it does not want Turkish troops in the country after 31 August, and I guess the negotiations will start now, because Erodagan wants them to control the airport.

Taliban Kabil havaalanını işletmek için Türkiye'den yardım istiyor, ancak 31 Ağustos'tan sonra ülkede Türk askerlerini istemediğini ve Erodagan'ın havaalanını kontrol etmelerini istediği için müzakerelerin şimdi başlayacağını tahmin ediyorum.

Yes, NATO member.

The rest of the world is watching: NATO and allies capitulates to Taliban demands.

Then again, I'm beginning to think that the capitulations to the demand of the Taliban is in the best interest of NATO and allies. I wonder how much they paid the Taliban or what deals they offered for them to "stop" refugees from getting to the airport.

I mean with all the SOF there and assets nearby the Talibs dont feel a squeeze? Something doesnt add up... unless you are willing to admit that after Georgia and Ukraine the west totally got their balls cut. Cause if I'm Ukraine, I would be rethinking about that hardline stance in Crimea, knowing full well if a bunch of ragheads can check the West, how much so an army with actual teeth on them.

The Ukrainian army recently entered the top five strongest armies in territore of Ukraine.

But seriously, it seems to me that if Russia attacks, for example, the Baltic states, the operation will take a few hours. And, I think, no one will save this Baltics. There will be a howl in the press, someone will express concern, someone will impose sanctions again. But I bet no one (except maybe Poland) will even move. Firstly, none of the armies of Europe wants to fight it is not clear where and it is not clear why. And secondly, it could be a cool excuse to start World War III. Which the US and NATO can lose.

My words are just a guess, I am not calling for war. I'm just trying to analyze the situation. What is your opinion?

In the last century, there was the USSR, there was a bloc of communist countries. And if the third world war began, it would be an ideological war. Now the USSR does not exist. And any large-scale conflict will look like a new First World War - a senseless meat grinder, where millions of soldiers will die. And the capitalists will still remain the winners. This will only be a redistribution of the world market. ?

I do not consider China to be a pure communist country. China was able to competently become a part of the world capitalist market, in the war they will have the same motivation. But under the red banner.

I'm certain that, with regard to everyone's personal interests, with regard to everyone's personal capabilities, with regard to everyone's personal liabilities, if Russia attacks either Baltics or Ukraine, there will be no "WW3" and there will be no "Article 5" implementation, and I have been saying this for about close to a decade now. Nobody wants WW3, as there will be no winners in it. There is nothing of value to win from protecting proxy states at the threat of personal extermination.
The only, sole, reason, why NATO keeps promising that it will stay true to its "eastern commitments" is for the sake of protecting NATO's own reputation, which in turn protects its ability to continue its existence, which in turn protects its ability to play politics and circle-jerk on global decisions such as in the UN or UN Security Council, or in trade wars against "mutual" (not really) enemies. But all of this is soft politics. And soft politics go away when war begins, where survival becomes a number-one priority, and image/optics/reputation become of little interest to all participants.

The question however is whether Russia is at all interested in taking those territories by force. It seems to me that the long-term goal of big politics that are playing out today is the big new "silk road" initiative, with the global economic/political centers shifting eastwards. The collapse of US influence, and the crippling or potentially eventual collapse of NATO aren't life-changing or history-changing tragedies in themselves, and have no role in history in isolated manner. They're just few of the many chips that are falling into place, inevitably so, for the coming new "configuration" of the world and its economy.
Stuff like unions, alliances, treaties are just symptoms of a deeper but fundamentally natural global process which people are just adapting to, but not really driving themselves.

And now as we witness American Empire crumbling the prospects of World Peace have never been so realistic... And the enthusiasm of people around the World is so beautiful...

Can we knock off the circle-jerk gents.

This was a US mission, that Nato countries joined.

USSR also f**ked up in Afghanistan, but it wasnt what brought down the mighty USSR, instead on out of work actor, and one grocers daughter brought it down.

So yes have a laugh, but lets keep in mind that Russia has yet to field any system that didnt start in USSR times.....

Also why would Russia want the baltics? So you can have another Afghanistan?

And if the American empire is so bad, why are people literally dying to get there? And is anyone dying to get to Russia????
