US Marine reportedly shot wounded at Kabul airport

65

A shootout is reported at the capital airport in Afghanistan. In just a day, the Kabul international airport managed to turn into one of the most discussed and "hot" spots on the map of the planet. The air harbor is a real Babylonian pandemonium, when some are trying to break through to the planes, while others are trying to prevent them from doing so.

Currently, there are American, Turkish and Azerbaijani military personnel at the Kabul airport. The Americans have already opened fire several times today. The data on the two dead were confirmed. According to the latest information, these are some armed people who were on the runway and were moving towards one of the planes. First, the American special forces opened warning fire (at least this is what the US media write), and then, when the armed people did not respond to the warnings, they began shooting to kill.

Some time ago, there were reports that the shooting allegedly did not go unanswered. One of the US Marines was wounded in the skirmish. At the same time, American sources write that the "gunshot wound" was received by accident and "was not associated with malicious intent on anyone's side." At the same time, it is not specified what is meant by "accidental injury". In this regard, a version of a possible "friendly fire" is being discussed, which could be opened either by the American servicemen themselves or by representatives of the allied contingent.


People on the runway of the Kabul airport


A CNN reporter reports from Kabul that the city is flooded with people with the banners of the Taliban (a terrorist organization banned in Russia). From the report of the American channel:

They shout out "Death to America!" So far, they are being friendly towards our film crew.



Meanwhile, it became known about the order of the American command to send another battalion to Kabul. Thus, the US contingent in the Afghan capital will be increased to 7 thousand people.

            The American pinched his finger.
            the finger is also serious, I personally am sensitive to it.
            I remembered a video on YouTube where a Ukrainian soldier wanted to fire a heavy machine gun on camera, but with a shutter he grabbed a piece of his own phalanx and began to hysteria, almost fainted, his comrades also turned pale. With all the sympathy and respect for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he laughed to tears: it’s okay, the fact that in response to a mortar from a mortar, it could not bother anyone. Purely psychology: an accidentally torn off finger does not fit into the psychological setting of possible combat injuries. Too shallow for battle, too strong for everyday life))).
            And just do you have to be an imbecile (a medical term that determines the average degree of mental impairment), so that you can make a hook on an airplane, it would be interesting to watch a video of how they are blown away.

                I have already seen, I just could not believe in such a massive stupidity. A 30-40 year old bearded man with the intelligence of a 13-year-old teenager, this is the lack of education in Asian countries, when he is given the rights of an adult, this is a disaster. By the age of 20 in our country, by the age of XNUMX, by natural selection, they begin to understand that this is dangerous and unnecessary for anyone. And what to take from the Afghan? Was he thinking about the speed of air resistance, hypoxia and cold at altitude? After all, he was a saolet for the first time, not to mention the presence of elementary knowledge.

              what The Americans have experience, in 1943, Operation Cottage, the landing of troops on the island. Kiska in the Aleutian Islands group, the operation lasted 9-10 days, the Japanese evacuated the garrison a few days before the American landing on the island. Paramushir. Losses were: 32 killed (28 Americans and 4 Canadians), about 50 wounded; 130 soldiers suffered from frostbite. When the destroyer "Abner Reed" was blown up by a Japanese mine, 71 sailors were killed and 47 were wounded.
              Before the landing of the American landing, the only representatives of the Japanese garrison on the island were two dogs (gender, nicknames and ranks are not known), it seems like they were captured by the Americans.

          These are not my stupid jokes, but the essence and principle of the work of Western propaganda.
          If you do not see this, for example, in Ukraine, then remember at least Colin Powell, who shook a test tube at the UN - the basis for an attack on Iraq.
          Remembered?
          Now google it. Wikipedia already says that Colin Powell never claimed to have "Iraqi anthrax" in his hands smile

          Although Mr. Powell himself has already confessed and said that he was misled ... And then Tony Blair sprinkled ashes on his head for the war in Iraq, started on the basis of incorrect intelligence.

          Spit in the eyes - God's dew.

          So in 5-7 or 10 years it will be: the enthusiastic people of Afghanistan welcomes the American military who have flown to Kabul.

        Soldiers of a Ukrainian PMC watch as the Taliban (banned, blameworthy and dangerous) release prisoners from prison. Apparently, the Americans did not take them on the plane and will not take them anymore.

When my beloved Leader opens regular flights Minsk - Kabul - Minsk, we will travel through the mountains of Afghanistan, and for Afghans it will be a convenient corridor to the EU through friendly Soviet Lithuania. On occasion, it will be possible to take the Americans out on these flights, because the new government of the Afghan workers and peasants will not hesitate for a long time in choosing measures of retaliation against the capitalists.
