NYT: Trash cans full of computer equipment - evidence of confusion during the evacuation of the US Embassy from Kabul

9

The recent evacuation of the US Embassy in Kabul is clear evidence of the confusion that reigned. This is how the American newspaper New York Times (NYT) describes this process, as well as the destruction of secret documents, electronic media and symbols (belonging to departments).

The trash cans are overflowing with destroyed equipment. Broken computer parts are strewn across the ground. Employees burn documents. Videos and photos show chaos as Americans rushed to evacuate the U.S. embassy in Kabul after the Taliban stormed into the city

- informs edition.



The NYT notes that these events took place in a rush and an atmosphere of nervousness. The shots taken by the American military show full garbage containers, monitors, keyboards, system units and other equipment lying in large numbers on the ground. How much of this has been disabled is difficult to understand, but the Americans hope that the Taliban will now be unable to obtain valuable information.

The staff of the embassy and the military who took part in the above operation were taken by helicopters to the Kabul airport, after which they left Afghan soil, the media concluded.

Note that something similar took place at the embassy of Canada and a number of other Western countries. At the same time, the Russian Embassy in Afghanistan did not need to do anything of the kind. Representatives of the terrorist movement "Taliban" banned in the Russian Federation took protection of the Russian diplomatic mission and promisedthat "not a single hair will fall."

    If they were building factories, equipping the country, and behaving decently, then why hide it?
    The weapon was presented, and then the toad strangled ...

    And, there is nothing PR.
    Everything is pretty neat for evacuation. They took out the memory and threw it out, but the trash cans are not designed for such a one-time.

        in the video the scale is not such that the screws can be seen.

        The man is promoting himself, walking around, there are no Taliban around.
        It can be seen that they tried to throw everything into the trash, but they didn't fit.
        does not show inside the embassy, ​​we can still have calculators and lamps on the tables ...

    Not only our embassy was taken under protection, but also the Chinese embassy, ​​so in the west they began to worry that the Chinese and I would now agree with the new government in Afghanistan and start receiving dividends ...

    Russian diplomats could hurry up and buy out this scrap metal, suddenly there is something interesting or just in the farm may come in handy.

    Representatives of the terrorist movement "Taliban" banned in Russia took the Russian diplomatic mission under protection and promised that "not a single hair will fall."

    This speaks of the ability of the authorities to negotiate even with inveterate bandits, whom they seem to have even banned by law. It looks like the Talibans, during their visit, put some of them in a certain position and became sane with lightning speed. Let's wait for more monetary "subsidies" for the development and support of "the terrorist movement banned in the Russian Federation. At the end of the performance, you can pin an order for the respect shown to Russian (Soviet) soldiers and a huge contribution to the development of relations, fastening dollar premium.
    Pride is straightforward for such progress.
