Coming soon: The Fall of Kabul
So it actually happened like 2 days after I posted this comment. And today on August 31st the last US soldier left Afghanistan.
History repeats itself and the US still doesn't want to learn, let's see which will be their next Saigon/Kabul....
Yep,ghani has left
Already happened
Well, that was fast...
You're right, today Kabul has fallen lol
done bro !!!!!
It's over now, the Afghan president fled...
It reminded me of this shit, lives lost and billions put into the war effort
It’s only now started
He doesn't want the same fate as Najibullah
He left with four car and a heli full of cash. Ghani will live like a king rest of his life..
@@mocho7020 pretty sure anyone would do the same, if you were in his shoes....
History doesn't repeat itself, it only rhymes.

History can repeat itself if you don't learn from it
46 years later. The fall of Kaboul.
Beijing bidens America
but go and look at saigon now its flourishing and beautiful seems as if the communist evolved to a capitalist society i dont think that will be the case in afganistan though
@ZERO SLEEP Its just that China helps the Taliban its in the China news rn.
@ZERO SLEEP At this point Operation Linebacker III might happen idk.
It's about to happen again in Kabul.
At least afghanistan can finally "rest" after that, or I hope so
@@Chorophilax LOL, that's blind optimism if I ever saw it. No, the Taliban will be back to savage oppression and beheadings soon enough.
@@DarqeDestroyer just like Saudi Arabia
@@DarqeDestroyer ah yes because the 20 year us occupation was certainly better. Gotta love that massive cultivation of opium increase since 2001 hmmmmmm
It's over now.
USA mission :
Vietnam : Mission failed
Afghanistan : Mission failed
Iraq : Mission failed..
But in Hollywood movies : Mission success !
in Hollywood movies : They EVEN won WW2
Iraq war the U.S. won tho lol
@@Bewdabobthe war sent the region into chaos and help create several insurgent groups
You forgot to add "Korean war " aswell, US lost it. Although i agreed the rest I won't say US lost the war in Iraq.
@@KrypandeNej1 never said that didn't happen just saying iraq was technically a us victory lol
U.S. : Leaves Afghanistan
Taliban : Surge like Delta Variant
U.S. : Ah shit...here we go again
u are probably the weakest commenter on modern media
A friend of mine was one of those Marines on the embassy roof, while I was safely working in the blood bank at an Army hospital. When we met up again back home, I made sure to treat him to some drinks.
How did they get back? Wouldn’t the Vietcong kill them?
Evidence?
@@punishedgloyperstormtroope8098 They went back for the marines, they were not gonna leave fellow Americans behind, they meant after that they were not going back. The tanks and trucks with soldiers in them are South Vietnamese.
I don't why this was recommended to me. Maybe history repeated itself
Pretty much so.
Visited saigon in 2002...that iconic building where the helicopter took off is still there, with a commemorative plaque, etc. Very surreal to visit there as an American.
What is its name
American Embassy Building on the < Thống Nhất > Avenue , right in the City of Saigon !
the city is now called ho chi minh city

2021: its the same story repeated in afghanistan, US abondoning its companions as usual what an untrustworthy ally
They don't have allies, they have lapdogs
@@FengFox19 not even lapdog, they're livestock in waiting for US's next big meal.
@@FengFox19 they don't need allies they have a ball of steel which US and their allies haven't..."
the usa should have never been involved to begin with dont listen to all the warmongerrs on the news. the afghan "government" is not an ally, but a leech.
“Ally” is a strong word considering most of the Afghani people were never on board with the dream of freedom. None of those who were, were willing to defend it with their lives. All cowards who weren’t deserving of any chance.
The American people stayed in a a country, they had no obligation to protect or build, for over 20 years. Attempting to teach them how to defend a dream none of them believed in. The US aren’t untrustworthy allies they just no when the game is lost.
Hey, theyre doing a remake right now! at least it will be in 4K. Thanks Joe!
Maybe even 8K if Uncle Joe is feeling nice.
Thanks George W Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden
@@user-golos I mean we should be thanking the first things to walk on land👀
And bush and trump.
America severely underestimated its enemy in Vietnam.
History has repeated itself
Lived in Vietnam for 2 years, was lovely. Saw all the sights where all these historic moments happened.
Evidence?
I hope that while you were there you didn't commit race treason by sleeping with Vietnamese women.
@@ivanasukjadic1423 I did, lots and lots of times :)
What did you live in Vietnam as? On what kind of visa?
@@timngim583 It was a working Visa :)
Americans are real experts in evacuating their embassies with helicopters.
The same happened in Afganistan. Congratulations for the organization of this difficult operation.
I remember watching this as a kid and I felt so ashamed when my grandfather told me the US lost the war
American had found another solution which was best for them in terms of Economy !
The us I believe pulled out of the war at this point
Us did not lose the war, they just retreated
Sort of the same thing? No...Tell that to my uncle who was there..."US was beat"
@@huongward Abandon another ally?
Both lasted 20 years and both collapsed in minutes! History does repeat it self!!!
South Vietnam lasted 2 years after America abandoned them.
@@Thunderchild-gz4gc they didn’t leave 100% they still sent troops to the embassy!
I remember sitting in my living room floor as a teen watching this like it was yesterday. We thought then it was finally over. But it wasn’t really...the repercussions have continued to be felt for decades
You will be watching it again this year in Kabul
@@cplcabsdự báo tuyệt vời 😅😅😅
Phothapher
Anyone else here because of Kabul?
Yes 🙋🙋
Me
Nice doggy though
Everyone! Most of us weren't even born in 1975. But we sure are watching this re-enactment in real time, and seeing the US humiliated again by a different group of AK47-wielding warriors fighting on sandals. The result is the same.
Flew in between HCMC and Phnom Penh lots in 2016 as a pilot. Uncle flew out of Tan Son Nhut in saigon during the war in an F-4..
And as of 2020, Vietnam is prospering, has good relations with most countries (except China), and doesn't punish its citizens like China or North Korea. Crazy for Americans to believe, but Vietnam is open to most foreigners to visit (even Americans) and their version of communism works for them. Who would have thought that letting the Vietnamese choose what's best for Vietnam is a bad idea? I wonder if this could work for Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and other places where the USA wants to bring "freedom"?
And right after watching Ken Burns' The Vietnam War docu-series, i'm starting to have a great admiration not just to Ho Chi Minh, the PAVN and the Viet Cong but also to MOST of the American Soldiers young, old, dead and alive who fought in this war.
Wonderful ideas,there are many American citizens live happily in Việt Nam now.
afghanistan falls to taliban like right now what a waste history repeat itself
The US will never learn.They will constantly ude the same old "we need to bring democracy" to justify their invasions.I wonder if there are lots of people that would still buying into their propaganda
And you believe Chinese version of Socialism doesn't work for them? Is that the reason the country is prospering beyond unstoppable growth rates although the US with it's allies (5 eyes nations especially) are doing every possible ways, tricks and idea to bring them down, and admit the fact that it is too late to make it happen? Lol
You make it sound like China is a failed state, whereas they're on the verge of being the sole global superpower surpassing USA in both economy and even militarily in the near future.
In fact, North Vietnam army had received an order from top commands to allow the US evacuation.
They maybe communist, but they know the enemy are just vietnamese people
Well of course they were all civilians and embassy people, I doubt the Vietnamese wanted to risk the Americans sending troops back in
Let's hope the Taliban are as considerate.
@@khabbadwe would have been stomped a second time
@@adannielsen2442 They couldn’t stomp the Americans the first time which is probably why the North Vietnamese had ten times the casualties and probably why the North Vietnamese could not take over the South when the American soldiers were there
How quickly everyone forgets what losing a war looks like.
Afghanistan says hello
Kabul 2021.
The last 100 years of external political blunders will haunt the USA from now. Start learning something! For example Geostrategy and respect more your allies!
“Respect more your allies” isn’t that why Kabul has turned into such a shit show because we trusted the Afghani people to defend their status quo? And now what do they do flee in droves hoping to outrun an enemy instead of standing their ground. Cowards every last one of them.
Or don't get involved in Vietnam and Afghanistan in the first place
TH-cam algorithm has really brought this one back from the archives
Vietnam has prospered since the American evacuation.
Only 15 years after did it start to heal. US was salty it lost and put sanctions.
I believe it took a couple of decades.
"It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal."
''you better run''.the Vietnam are not Grenada
True ,
US hasn’t won a war (and can’t) against a real military... The US Military is built for pillaging non-white countries without an Air Force. China and Russia will certainly check them, as well as Iran. Israel is the drunk uncle at cookouts who can’t shut the fuck up, and will be the undoing of the US
@@VirgoAtheist0971 lol whatever dude
@@scottym3233 So witty. Care to dispute what I said with an example? I doubt it, since what I said is true and verifiable... But I’m always willing to learn Scotty.
Just because the US spends more money on the military than the next 10 countries combined doesn’t make it the best at winning wars.
Case in point, the US Healthcare system. Most expensive by far, and last in results in the “developed” world. Don’t be butt-hurt, just realize you’re being lied to by your/our government and their media propaganda arm cultists.

@@ranelgallardo7031 "worst place in the world"
LMAO
Now that Iraq has voted for all foreign military to leave.
Watch USA refuse until something like this happens again.
This situation would never happen again, because the South Vietnamese wanted out too. There's no divide in Iraq like there was between the North and the South. If you didn't get out... you were tortured. I could not imagine the desperation in this situation.
@@MasonStrand
keep dreaming
@@MasonStrand There was definitely torture and re-education camps but the actual fall was pretty peaceful. It wasn't like Berlin or others. The aftermath wasn't really some sort of Communist dystopia, the north was primarily Vietnamese nationalists first, and Communists second. China invading shortly after didn't help either.
This is surely happening in Afghanistan sure

George Lucas: "it's like poetry, it rhyms"
This Afghanistan episode is even uglier than The Phantom Menace.
He's a leftist and glad both happened.
2:21 watching them push helicopters overboard by hand is a bit surreal...
Why did they do that?
@@timngim583Did you watch the whole video?
When outside forces left, the war ended.
Not really, considering that cambodia later attack vietnam along with china.
why do you think these people were fleeing? just cause the war ended doesn't mean the carnage stopped. this was a war we should've stayed in.
The war was over when it started. The Vietnamese saw us as another colonial power that replaced the French. And they were pushing the French out. So it was inevitable that they would come to hate the Americans.
@@JT-ho6rp that's an interesting viewpoint from afar. But in reality the South was tortured and forced into obeying like dogs to communist rule. My mom use to tell me to sing along like the other kids because they will execute your dad in prison if we did not follow. I was 3-4 years old. You have your views and opinion from a safe space and bit into the propaganda more than a 4 year old Viet boy.
It was a betrayal of an ally by Kissinger and Nixon and the begining of millions of lives living in mental slavery as we pretended to follow.
@@coltonsmith5997 yanks never learn, do they?
Awww shit, here we go again
*We will be waiting for the pilots of the C17 Globe Masters and Helicopters about their feelings during the airlift operation in Kabul or perhaps there would be a Hollywood movie coming up pretty soon.*
How do we screw up so much and still have power internationally
You dont have that power no more
Watched Kabul video. Have to revisit this video……. History sure repeats itself.
not history repeat itself. it's American repeat itself .they abandon their Ally like rubbish.
Previews of Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq

That's okay :) It's actually not that bad living in Vietnam now.
cry, baby!
Hope same scenario repeats in Syria. It`s not too far away.
How about also an apology to the people of North Vietnam? The involvement by the U.S. was pointless and only caused mutual suffering.
@@jayyyzeee6409 no those fucking commies killed innocent southerners.

Quite dramatic isn't it??😝😝😉
Having now spent some time in Vietnam it is funny to read some of the commentary here. I believe US intervention in Vietnam was totally wrong. Like it or not, the Vietnamese have the right to choose their own type of government even if it is a bad one. After the war, Socialist Vietnam descended into decades of unrelenting poverty and economic stagnation. This has started to change as the government has loosened economic controls and allowed some private enterprises to exist. Today, I see ordinary Vietnamese wearing US flags on their shirts. Too many of the young people here the US is a country that is the definition of success. I suspect many of the commentators or consumed by envy and hate then any rational assessment.
Just out of curiosity, do you feel the same way about Cuba?
The Vietnamese voted to unify prior to the split.
@@LuckySmurf Yes. The Cuban people have the right to choose.
Now is not then....US killed innocent people in that war. US goes into a country screws it up and then abandonds them.
@@LuckySmurf even Cuba has a right to choose. It's not like USA chose any better with bush, Obama, trump and biden.
A C-130 reportedly took off with 452 people on board!!!!
in Kabul, took off with about 800 persons and people on his sides, and fell to their death. Joe Biden FTW.
The picture in Kabul international airport is the same.
Saigon is now Ho Chi Minh City.
Among us Vietnamese, a lot of us still call it Saigon or The City. Even if it's not for political reason, it's still much more convenient. The majority of us are too lazy to say the full name when we want to refer to this city in a casual conversation.
Actually the Saigon is more convenient name-place than Ho Chi Minh city ,Even it’s not for political reason
We are using both of the name you could call it what ever you want
HCM city on all Documents only !
Everyone called Saigon because this is a history’s name .
Are you seriously stating this as some kind of revelation? Not trying to be unkind but dude...I think we knew this a few decades ago. And most still call it Saigon
I also was watching as a teen. It broke my heart watching as these people were running for their lives. Even at 16 I understood it was a black day for the people of Vietnam and for the United States.
It was liberation for the Vietnamese poeple.
cope harder imperialist
Afghanistan: history repeats itself
who is here after fall of afghanistan
Respect to the ones , who , Worldwide , fought the Evil Empire of Chaos . SOUTH AMERICA / MIDDLE-EAST / ASIA
Kabul next
This was not the fall of Saigon, but the liberation of Ho Chih Minh City.
Respect to Ho Chi Minh & Giap
Wow, this is Kabul today
Fall of Kabul 40 years later
What an odd time to get this recommendation…
We never learn! I wonder which country we are going to screw up next.
Continental nation with Top 1 world GDP: I am the strongest ever
North Vietnam: Are you sure?
China and the USSR made it possible. The US abandoned South Vietnam.
Beautiful
Biden will forever be remembers as the president during the fall of Kabul
Better to be remembered as that than to prolong this wasteful war
And Trump will be remembered as the President who released the Taliban President of Afghanistan from jail
@bismuth1985 Fool. No one will remember something so mundane. Not even the fact that he initiated the process. What people will remember is that JOE BIDEN was the one who lead America's defeat.
@Nick Petrillo Who? Bush, Trump and oh wait, OBAMA? Nah bruh. Not even close.
@@notarmchairhistorian7779 you're totally right no one is going to remember that we had the leader of the taliban in jail for terrorism and that Trump let him free so he could take over Afghanistan.
This is the equivalent of setting Bin Ladin free.

Now it happened in Kabul, Afghanistan on August 15th 2021.
I’m surprised CH47 helicopter is used for last flight from embassy this time too.
CH-46 Sea Knight. It was used during Saigon withdrawal and then used for the second time only to be dumped in Hamid Karzai International Airport.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Our second Vietnam has indeed occurred.
Those who don't learn from the past...
So TH-cam knows when to recommend this video!
The similarities. Will I live long enough to see the 40th anniversary video of the Fall of Kabul? Probably not. The nightmares are unfolding and will be for years to come.
The Scene was reappeared in Afghanistan. Right?
Indeed, comrade.

Lmao it happened in Afghanistan- not America.
This happened under Trumps Taliban peace deal. A prisoner that Trump freed is now the president of Afghanistan.
Biden's presidency was 1/40th of the Afghan war. The war was lost the day we went there
You know Trump was going to pull out too right? And right as we left the Taliban would take control.
@@snaggalfrash9013 And Bidentard pushed back the pull out date, pissing off the Taliban.

American saying it wasn't a loss it was tactical retreat I never laughed so hard
It’s happening right now in Kabul. 3 afghan guys were just hanging onto the wheel wells of a c-130 and fell off after the plane was in the air, falling onto people’s roofs 😔
5 others have been killed in a stampede. It’s bad.
When you have a bad day just remember the guy in the roof that not get into the last helicopter.
And it has happened again
*Well, almost the same is happening in Kabul Afghanistan.*
That's quite correct, we were ordered to let them withraw okey.Remember that we had anti aircraft missiles systems,heavy anti aircraft guns covered all Sài Gòn and could bring any aircrafts down then !
Same in Kabul , same army , same us .
