Here’s how those in power set the conditions for an attack:
The Afghan arrested in Oklahoma, he was among the group of (70,000+) that was airlifted out of Afghanistan in August 2021, there are thousands in that 2021 group that did not assist the US Gov, nor assist US troops, or have fraudulent applications, therefore should not be here. The neighborhoods close to Kabul Airport (HKIA) including Deh Sabz and Hootkhail where many criminal elements in Kabul lived were mostly emptied out in Aug 2021, many of the residents of those two areas crossed the checkpoints and made it to the Airports and were airlifted out of Afghanistan.
Meanwhile thousands of Afghans that did assist the USG were prevented by Taliban checkpoints from entering the Airport.
The then Centcom Commander stated that they were getting “cooperation” from the Taliban. Cooperation for what?
Now we are seeing the results…
BTW for many that have left Afghanistan since 2021, who are from very rural and conservative parts of Afghanistan they would have problems adjusting to life in Kabul because they will see Kabul culturally/socially as too liberal, then imagine them coming to a western country, then we wonder why they fall under the influence of extremist groups….
Common sense has become a super power these days….
These are two exact quotes from Gen Frank McKenzie in 2021:
He said “The Taliban were pragmatic and very businesslike as we approached this withdrawal.”
He also praised the Taliban by stating “I do know this, just speaking purely practically, as a professional, they (the Taliban) helped us secure the airfield. Not perfectly, but they gave it a very good effort, and it was actually significantly helpful to us, particularly here in the end,”
The quotes are from Aug 31, 2021 posted on NBC news.

British man attacked for entering a ‘no-go zone’ in London.
A horde of Islamists surrounded him and questioned why he was in ‘their’ neighborhood.
They threatened him and began chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ as they kicked him out.
A 65-year-old couple retiring in 2025 with average earnings will receive an estimated $1.34 million in lifetime benefits, while contributing only $720,000 in today’s dollars.
That shortfall—more than $600,000 per couple—is being made up by younger workers.
“Most of the growth in spending has gone to retirement and healthcare, while programs that promote upward mobility... have been left behind”
