The stunning truth behind Thursday's suicide bombings at Kabul airport that killed 13 US soldiers was revealed: around 170 Afghans died, many of those Afghans were shot dead by US soldiers.
More and more deaths were confirmed by local reports, but the number doesn't match the possible death toll that a suicide bombing could have caused. Moreover, many witnesses and families of the victims came forward to accuse the US military of shooting civilians that led to a large number of casualties. At last, the truth was gradually disclosed.
US troops at Kabul airport were in a panic after the sudden terrorist attacks. At that moment, everyone looked like a terrorist to them. This might be a reason they had indiscriminately pulled the trigger to kill. Yet the US military should at least tell the truth and should have made best efforts to prevent the indiscriminate killing of innocents due to personnel's psychological vulnerability in such a chaotic scenario. Apparently, such an attitude and efforts were missing. The US troops only care about their own safety regardless of the serious risks the locals might have to face. And the US military's orders show a tendency that they would rather get 1,000 innocent people killed than get one terrorist attacker missed.
This "accidental killings" of civilians can be argued as the epitome of most US military operations in Afghanistan and even in the Greater Middle East. No wonder former US president Donald Trump arbitrarily opposed the International Criminal Court in The Hague to try the case of possible war crimes by the US forces. He even sanctioned relevant personnel from the court. This is because Washington elites are more aware than anyone else how much blood of civilians from war-torn countries is on the hands of US troops they command.

They can't even reveal the truth about the mental state of their dementia afflicted President, despite all the consistent signs of his unfit state.
ReplyDeleteAnd they cannot even accept the truth about the reality that they are a falling economic power.
Even their military power is now challenged by the Russians and they are trying to cause a split between Russia and China by claiming that China is set to overtake the Russians in nuclear weapons stockpile. They want to divide and rule as they are hapless with Russia and China closing ranks militarily.
The US drone strike in Kabul that allegedly killed seven children was “righteous,” followed proper procedures, and eliminated “at least one” person who was a “facilitator” for ISIS-K terrorists, the top US military officer said.
ReplyDeleteSunday’s strike had targeted a vehicle in Kabul, which the US Central Command said represented an “imminent” threat to the evacuation efforts ongoing at the Hamid Karzai International Airport at the time.
Local media and the Taliban, however, said that ten civilians were killed as a result – seven of them children.
“At this point, we think that the procedures were correctly followed, and it was a righteous strike,” he told reporters, adding that “at least one” person who was killed was a “facilitator” for the terrorist group Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K). It was ISIS-K that claimed responsibility for last Thursday’s suicide bombing outside the airport, which killed an estimated 200 Afghans and 13 US troops.
“Were the others killed? Yes. Who are they? We don’t know,” Milley said, adding there would be an investigation.
Initially, CENTCOM said that there were “no indications” of civilian casualties from the “self-defense” strike. After local reports identified the victims by name, however, CENTCOM spokesman Captain Bill Urban said they would be “deeply saddened by any potential loss of innocent life.”
Asked about the civilian casualties on Monday, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters that they’re “not in a position to dispute it right now.”

Notice how they twist the narratives to justify their crime. Facilitator? Investigation? Total bullshit. More like taking time to creating more justification to cover their barbaric action.
ReplyDeleteThe USA is a very sick country. The MSM is chronically sick and think it great national news to even pick on petty things like Joe Biden looking at his watch, while waiting for the return of those US soldiers killed in the Kabul blast. What is wrong with Joe Biden taking a look at
his watch that? Is that now a crime in the USA?
Sounds like you are also referring to PAP?
ReplyDeleteAfghan Government soldiers were said to be trained by the best, but in reality only on paper. They would not fight their own, in a civil war, like in Iraq, which will last for years and more destruction. Why would they want that when this is the country they, their families and children are going to live in going forward?
ReplyDeleteOf course, when it comes to outside forces, they have no qualms about destroying the country and then leave for home and talking big about their egos. What egos they have acquired during WW2 were all deflated in the Korean War, Vietnam and now Afghanistan.

White terrorists are always right and righteous. So they said. Killing children as long as they are not white children is ok. No crocodile tears.
"Why do they hate us?" This question was commonly repeated in the US after the 9/11 attacks. Some Americans believed the attacks were a war against American civilization, the American way of life, and American democracy. Fury obscured Americans' perception of the world and themselves following this. Policy makers in the White House were lost in the pursuit of vengeance.
ReplyDeleteThe evil Americans would not know the answer. They think and act as if they are the angels of God and killing other beans is acceptable as other beans are all bad, sub humans. Just listen to Fox News, CNN, NBC, etc etc and the evil men and women in Washington and you know why. Everyone of them is talking about how mighty is the evil empire and how they are going to kill anyone that did not accept their hegemony.
