2. No, I think that falling body has been added to the raw footage.

It is a video effect.

3. I hope so but there's other videos of civilians desperately clinging onto the planes

5. Considering what I have been reading here about deep fakes

I will reserve judgment.

4. Another foreign journalist was interviewed

yesterday about 10:30PM local time. He said Kabul was generally calm. Apparently the other cities were captured with little to no resistance and are also calm.

Engel is going for max sensationalism unfortunately.

6. Even here the guys are kind of cheering . It doesn't look like the desperation of Vietnamese

The fact is most of the men are ok with the Taliban . It's why these guys are there rather than doing anything to defend the country against the Taliban.

7. Man, DUers are sure falling for Russian propo

I am seeing clickbait, unsourced, obvious propo with Cyrillic captions posted as truth.

Remember the Kuwait incubator story, complete with video? And the Jessica Lynch propo (still major pprops for her and her family refusing to be used).

Trust nothing unsourced by legit folks, and even with legit folks, check it out.
