Regular people assume the footage from behind-the-scenes featurettes are the “truth” — in fact, it is now standard practice to alter pieces of documentary footage from EPK “making-of” b-roll for public consumption for various reasons.

In keeping with my view that we're actually just handing back Afghanistan to the Taliban, I suspect that the sudden orderliness of the evacuation reflects deeper U.S.-Taliban coordination than anyone is allowed to admit.

ON AFGHANISTAN:
1⃣ Team Trump cut a deal with the Taliban in Doha that didn't involve the Afghan government.
2⃣ The Taliban took Trump's deal to Afghan military commanders and secretly pre-negotiated surrenders.
3⃣ The USIC missed 2⃣, so now the Taliban has much of our weaponry.
