This is just a scenario, but the conditions now exist for a catastrophe at the Kabul Airport. You have about 6,000 American troops there with a huge mob of people trying to flee the country — and nearby you have the Taliban lurking out in the darkness.
It’s very easy to imagine a situation where the Taliban attack the airport ASAP and there’s a pretty sizable massacre. Historic, even.
And because of social media, we would see it happen in real time.
But, let me note — I’m always wrong. So, I’m probably, thankfully, wrong this time, too. Hopefully, the Taliban will simply wait until everyone gets out and swoop in once they can avoid any bloodshed.
