The sounds of explosions that were heard a while ago in all parts of Tripoli were caused by large fireworks fired during a wedding on the 200th road.

I understand those who are happy with American defeat in Afghanistan. Still, everyone should remember that the US always uses geography to its advantage. To put it simply, America is far from Afghanistan. They didn't solve Afghani problems (if they wanted to) and now they fly away. So this old-new unpredictable Afghanistan is now a problem for its neighbours, Middle Asia, and Russia.

Taliban can try to expand its influence on Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan or even organize military or terrorist operations on their territory. An extremely fragile Tajikistan looks like perfect target for such actions. Also drug trafficking from Afghanistan can increase. Apart from drugs and new conflicts, Middle Asia will face a flow of refugees. Yes, thousands of people with civil war experience who have nothing to lose will (in fact, they already do) move to already unstable Middle Asian countries. In apocalyptic scenario this would cause absolute collapse of secular authoritarian regimes on post-soviet Middle Asia and jeopardize the very existence of present-day Russia.

Still, it's hard to say what Taliban will do, moreover, maybe nothing will happen at all. Russian politics in Afghanistan is balanced in many ways. The Kremlin established good relations with former government (they even recognized Crimea as Russian territory) and in recent years Russia intensified its contacts with Taliban (although, they are considered as terrorists by Russia, which is kinda funny, taking their official negotiations in Moscow). Apart from diplomatic efforts, Russia conducted several military drills with China, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, showing that potential agression of Taliban won't be left without response.

So I hope for the best and read pro-western Ukrainian media. Let's say, authors there are not happy. It seems, they don't want to be the guys from the video below.

Very disturbing scenes today from Afghanistan, after the US forces shot dead many Afghan locals attempting to escape. Several fell from airplanes, while hanging on their wheels, and crashed onto houses.

USA proved things could be worse than Saigon. Much worse.
