Amid experiences that Taliban are all set to take over Kabul and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has fled the nation, social media customers are evaluating the US defeat in Afghanistan to the US defeat in Vietnam.
Drawing the comparability between the 2 retreats of the USA, a Twitter consumer posted two footage. One image is displaying a US navy helicopter evicting the US Embassy workers from Saigon, Vietnam in 975 and the opposite image is displaying a US navy helicopter evicting the US Embassy workers in Kabul, Afghanistan in 2021.

Many different social media customers too responded angrily to the state of affairs creating in Pakistan — the US and all its Western allies withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, Taliban taking management of Afghanistan and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fleeing the nation.

A Twitter consumer wrote, “History repeated Folded hands Departing images of the US in the wars of Vietnam and Afghanistan, decades apart in time, yet so close in feelings of heartache, shock, and defeat.”

One other Twitter consumer wrote, “Two iconic images clicked 45 years apart. The US Embassy staff fleeing from Saigon (top) and Kabul (bottom). Never trust a friend who leaves you saying he’ll be back – Old Vietnamese saying.”
Two iconic photographs clicked 45 years aside. The US Embassy workers fleeing from Saigon (prime) and Kabul (backside).
By no means belief a buddy who leaves you saying he’ll be again – Outdated Vietnamese saying. pic.twitter.com/AIItm8aReA
