    Idk, the US isn't a completely invincible, "all according to plan" type empire, and it's really starting to show as it crumbles. I'm honestly thinking this is a legitimate defeat from a power that's starting to decline. Although, as the Taliban get close to Kabul, probably expect a evacuation of Saigon type event.
