    Fascinating on so many levels, first and foremost being that this footageeven exists for public consumption. A glimpse into the Taliban’s occupation of the hastily abandoned CIA base in Kabul, complete with over $7b in military equipment. We get a fly on the wall glimpse into the Taliban officials pondering what to do with their newly claimed treasures. “How do we get these treadmills hooked up to electricity? And does anyone know how to fly a Blackhawk?” It’s enlightening and also maddening. And that 67 x 100, thing—that had to just be a translation error, right? Right?
