Yes, this is exactly right. The Information War is next level crazy and anything is possible! We know the MSM lies to us, but the question with every story is to what extent?

We know Trump freed the current Taliban leaders and knocked out nearly all of the worst Taliban in a two week span around that time. Maybe Trump created a Taliban takeover of people who know if they fart sideways and the US doesn't like the smell, they would be a grease spot in the timeline of history 1 second later.

Supposedly Chinese, Russian, Iranian, Pakistani, other Central Asian peoples and even Southeast Asian peoples have been found among the dead Taliban fighters. How can we even verify this or anything that the MSM tries to feed us??

For us in the US (and really anyone else around the globe) it is next to impossible for us to verify any news out of Afghanistan, Afghanistan is a metaphorical black hole of whatever distraction you want to create for the Forever War.
