CNN's Nic Robertson goes inside an abandoned US air base now under Taliban control and the notorious prison that once held thousands of detainees. #CNN #News
@@dorishofmann3907 More and more Americans are getting homeless. Yet, Trillions were spent in these wars. Iraq war that massacred a million was based on lies of WMD. U.S infrastructure is crumbling, yet all that money spent, lives lost, thousands tortured for what ?
We can't build housing for low-income people in the United States. But we willingly abandoned billions of dollars of housing for a new regime in another country? Awesome
We have hundreds of boarded up military bases across America (BRAC) that can be repurposed the get the homeless off the street. The VA can open up branches on these facilities to tend to their physical and mental health. We need to stop wasting money on the defense industry and repurpose that money into Americans. If we can't fix them and put them back into society, we can at least take care of them. Get them off the streets.
Commiting war crimes enmass and not following the Geneva convention. Torturing people like animals. Killing hundreds snd thousands of innocent civillians. That's why! Also done in Iraq, Vietnam and many other places! No one has the right to be judge, jury and executioner!
@@VaniWorldTV Shame on those people! They eat butter on toast and dont even eat the crust! There's something wrong with this wicked breakfast culture.

@Nate Brown yeah I guess your right but hey they didn’t drop bombs from the sky indiscriminately on children as a matter of fact you fellas killed 7 kids in a drone attack on a innocent family before youse left and said it was RIGHTEOUS, then said ah shit we’re sorry ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fjuQm7QcRc0.html
How many American soldiers were tortured or killed by the TALIBAN OR ISIS? How many women have been tortured, abused or killed by the TALIBAN OR ISIS? HOW many journalists or other people were beheaded by ISIL IN SYRIA LEBANON,, OR OTHER MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES?? I THINK THEIR WAS AN AMERICAN JOURNALIST WHO WAS CAPTURED AND BEHEADED TOO...DAVID FOLEY.
@@cathyomara7661 how many Afghanis were tortured by the U.S how many crimes against humanity have occured I'm the middle east. Oh right lemme guess, you justify the recent bombing of 7 innocent children.
Bouslama Karim - do you even live in the USA? SO, you found out all there is to know from the fake and propaganda broadcasted on social media and FOX NEWS, SKY NEWS AUSTRALIA & NEWSMAX??!! THOSE CHANNELS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN BIG JOKES AND PROPAGANDA. THEIR FILM TEAMS MAKE UP AND FIX VIDEOS AS THEY PMEASE BY ADDING WORDS TO STATEMENTS MADE BY ANY POLITICAL T PERSON THEY DO DO NOT LIKEAND PRESIDENT BIDEN TURNS OUT TO BE THEIR SCAPEGOAT FOR THEIR JOKES!!!
Beautiful Taliban never did anything wrong never tortured anyone never shot people publicly never stop people being people get real if you believe them you are really one step from mental disturbed
I spent 4 years working mostly at Bagram (2008 to 2012) as a contractor. The U.S. built a city there. I hardly ever felt in danger due to the level of security surrounding the base. I worked with people from all around the world. It is an experience I will never forget.
You guys never took Afghanistan or kabul, like Russians are taking Bhakmut or Mariupol. You guys simply dont have the stomoch for it. No wonder you want Ukranians to fight the Russians for you.
@@richardv9648 we annihilated the Taliban, don't act brave now, when our soldiers were there you were cowards in caves, hiding behind innocent children and woman
Every Media must appreciate and respect the Taliban for their kind respect for media persons. Don't spread any wrong message about Taliban. Like Indian media do.
Well we r are having our own civil wars goin on.but we don't know what crimes they committed.but for the taliban to say they got the victory or the forced us out is COMPLETE bs.cuz if we went back they would run FAST
@@anthonybautista3585 you people are so shameless and hypocrite. But one thing is for sure your reign is coming to an end and that is a good thing for the world
Imagine if someone invaded the U.S. and was doing this to us. It's easy to lose perspective, to forget that the "enemy" is always human. It's not hard to see why the Taliban was able to reclaim the country.
Can’t classify Taliban as human. They are a brutal, backward, murderous gang who will ensure Afghanistan slips further into the Dark Ages. They are in power simply because they will kill anyone who stands up to them.
Taliban:"we should destroy it so no evil person can use it again" Reporter:"they gained something of great value" See how different our views on on what's really valuable.
This prison should be preserved to show the abuse of human rights perpetrated by a country that swears on preseving those rights and fights wars to preserve those rights. This prison should be compared with the NAZI Concentration camps of Auschwitz and Dachau.
Guys, you’re repeating Taliban propaganda talking points. Do you not find it suspect at all that this is where they “allowed” the news team to go at the air base? U.S definitely isn’t perfect but try to think about who you all are siding with on this particular issue
@@CQuinnLady There is a Memorial Tour Guide lasting 6 hours for Auschwitz now a museum, the world must also do the same for Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and this prison/US military base without a name.
Really... you have no idea what you are saying... Please present proof.. it's easy to accuse.. others but hard to validate your claims.. so don;t say things that you can't prove..
Guys, you’re repeating Taliban propaganda talking points here. Do you not find it suspect at all that this is where they “allowed” the news team to go at the air base? U.S definitely isn’t perfect but try to think about who you all are siding with on this particular issue. We’re not always right but the Taliban are hundreds of years behind on human rights issues
@@colbylacefield796 What talking points? The journalist was walking around an airbase known worldwide for its prison and hosting of POWs. Was there something else to see? If so, maybe the CIA should show us the missing footage of rest of the base, since apparently Taliban already saw it, and are hiding it from us, according to you. Lol. LMAO.
If you require torture, bombs, drones and tanks to convince a population that short skirts, bikinis and pornography is the truth. Then you've given them every reason to reject your way of life.
Yeah, rape, acid in the face, or stoning is so much more civil than those evil western ideals. The women and girls in Afghanistan got it so much better now.
@Jasmine Because a couple of short months ago, the U.S. was doing just that with our taxpayer money, my sweet little jasmine rose. It takes more than one person to do that, but just one idiot by the name of Biden to bring it all down.
Usually people that are doing random killing are being locked off or get death penalty(in every single country in the world). Do not believe that political oponents were imprisoned. Believe that people doing killing or planning on terrorist's attacks/planning killing were imprisoned. What kind of BS you are talking about. Lets wait for 6 months and see the famine in that country. Lets wait several years and see if there would be more people than now craving for the stability, safety, democratic freedom.. you know- the basic human rights that Afghanistan enjoyed to some degree for past 20 years.
When even the Taliban says "It should be destroyed so brutal people cannot use it again" ... It's time for Americans to do some soul searching. Freedom and Democracy ... Indeed🙄
Are you that foolish and naive? This is CNN's attempt to make Bidens screw up seem to be some type of blessing in the end. Poor poor taliban an you fall for it. 🙄

@William Cunningham what freedom? only the top 1% gets the real freedom, just barking dogs for them if u insist on being one dimensional, go study up... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gYR92KjKxm8.html
@William Cunningham Sarcasm translates poorly in writing. Yeah, All the Press have shown their true colors and I will remember it all until the day I die. The Forth Estate is dead and the Far Left Media killed it.
Many innocent civilian without caught in any case were prisoners in this prison. This was human right that the US went to give us in our country. We do not want any country to make or take any decision in our country.
My father American and afghan army catch that you are taliban but my father never work with taliban and always shopkeeper now we have received my father aftet 9 year god bless evry country
Did you say human rights? Check the video of prison US left when they escaped from airport... Or Guantanamo, or even "ordinary" prisons and sentences in US. Rich can do whatever they want, poor and black overpay for every little thing. It is ending...fortunately.
@@rickcorral9974 i agree its got nothin to do with race. But your sarcasm in your first statement indicates that the western nations do not need a lesson in human rights...moreso from the TALIBAN. My friend you know only what you've been shown by your media...and BTW the most brutal infringements of human rights have been by western nations pushing their policies. But coz they sign a document of mass death wearing a suit and tie...its seen "official"...pure terrorists
@tim tores keep on doing propaganda Your propaganda has destroyed many countries such as Iraq. You lied about Iraq, killed millions of their people. Don't you have any guilt inside you? You are still instigating 1st world countries to kill more people. Shame on people like you.
So how are you supposed to interrogate and get Info out from an enemy without torturing? With their kind of faith, I highly doubt a carrot will work, but a stick will somehow do the trick.
It should be repurposed into something like city hall to educate and employ future leaders of that area. These men seem to be of the right mindset for the job.
We waisted a lot of resources on that B.S., time we spend our time and energy doing productive activities. Why don't we crack down on Real Estate fraud which is rampant in the U.S.
@@soylentgreen9492 sure do that to, but criminal politicians get a lot of money from Real estate. If we crack down on Real estate we'll get most of the illegal activities in the U.S., sounds like a big claim but the issue is that big.
If anybody has any type of self decency or any type of self-respect that works for the government I think they need to quit their job until this corruption is tooken out at the highest levels
US never show their war crimes on media. I have friend who lost his both parents in US drone strike in Border region of Pakistan with Afghanistan at the age of 15 year
I once heard someone say that Americans love and/or condone War because their wars are never fought in their own land. Not once did I hear the interviers in studio discuss how the US treated the prisoners in dank crowded spaces with little to eat and how that that might've caused prisoners to have mental health issues and I really need clarity on the use of a man-sized net in the 'clinic'. I'm not condoning the actions of that caused them to be put in prison but living in artificial light, in a crowded space for years, no adequate food and being showered with water at random is not a good look for the "great" US. All the people in the studio cared about was that the Taliban has got so much architecture and resources left behind by the exit of the army and not the millions that died in on both sides when an international powerhouse decided to wage an unjustified war ."Go USA" !! Nizobona, In a few years when the heat dies down, Hollywood will make a white savior movie retelling the whole saga and it'll get millions in the box office and no one will ever account for what happened and all those deaths
It's called war.. I love how everyone wants to talk about the U.S but the Islamic world isn't any better. And are you even American? I don't know how you bunch us in opinions you know nothing about. That's like me saying Africa will never prosper because you guys stab each other in the back for money. It's a common occurrence.
Due let you have study very well haven't you let is very head to China have Russia have try it many more asked you. Were not Afton we don't head our keys over. There is reason why Amanda is power country in would. We are 30 invite of every country even Russia chaia
@@mickeyray3793 it’s a very well known fact the taliban don’t kill their prisoners or torture them especially foreigners as it goes against their faith which they are so stuck to
@@thejamaicanpolak3988 if US don’t invade and occupy illegally other countries there will be no angry Muslim !! If somebody invade your house what will you do ?? You just protecting USA because you an American !! You can’t tell the truth although you know what is truth ! American government is a Terrorist Country and all the world know this now !! American people are very good and Kind people
CNN propaganda. Fake news! The prison was turned over to the Afghanistan Army many years ago. They are responsible for turning that place into a pigsty.
@@amolkhobaragade That is a question many Americans like to know... Why would Joe Biden pull the military out of Afghanistan before pulling it's American citizens first?
Every day for the last few months I've watched or read something and said to myself... 'That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen/heard!' Today this is it.
Okay, two minutes into the video and I already have three questions. If the prisoners have been out of the prison since 2014, why is it being presented as if it being empty is part of the Taliban takeover? Why does the "prisoner's food" shown look like it is at most a few weeks old? And the biggest question: if there are supposed to be hundreds of American citizens still trapped in Afghanistan, how do all these American reporters keep going back and forth in and out of the country to make these reports?
Good question. Why leave hundreds of Americans behind while reporters fly away with how many empty seats? They don't want logic ruining their propaganda video though. Just watch and rage about how awful our country is.
This is Bagram airfield. Americans had left it just before Taliban’s takeover. Even previous Afghanistan government had no clue that Bagram airfield was abandoned. Americans left at night without letting anyone know. But then with the arrival of taliban, all the prisoners were freed. As for the American reporters, taliban allow reporters to come in and go out. They are reporters and taliban do not hold reporters as enemies
Because the taliban are pushing propaganda by allowing reporters in. They can then present a select narrative to play victims to the monstrous Americans. It’s all a sick joke really.
The USA and its allies signed a contract in 2020 with the Taliban to let the Taliban free in Afghanistan. Therefore, we are to blame for every single person affected by this crisis today.
The majority of people in the US didn’t want the war to keep going. Most of us wanted out. It’s how we got out that’s the issue. People died that shouldn’t have died. Plain and simple.
@Mind Farmer go back and read your history book. Who started the war in Afghanistan? The BUSH/CHENEY ADMINISTRATION IN RETALIATION FOR 9/11/01!!! THE COUNTRIES WHERE SOLDIERS WERE SENT WAS AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ & SYRIA.
Man's inhumanity to man has been going on since the first murder. It is the temporary madness of the absence of self controlled. While a woman is the giver of life, a man is the taker of life for lack of wisdom to chose peace.
@@cathyomara7661 Actually, no. That war was almost over and the reality is that it was a civil war Where the Taliban just about ready to rule that whole country as the Northern Alliance was beat. We just postponed their ascent by 20 years and a few trillion dollars.
And you wonder about hostility toward the United States. And there is good chance that the people the U.S. supporting (the Afghan government) was doing much worse to people..
@Temp Khi the only cleaning that needs to be done is that of the permanent removal of the taliban from Afghan soviety. I don't care how it's done. They have nothing to offer this world but pain and suffering and have brought nothing but misery to the Afghan people.
Other countries use our government to kill their enemies so often that's why our military is able to do that. Do some research these guys fall back so hard on our troops in combat.
Respect to CNN for revealing this. Although this should have been disclosed while it happened if the democracy was working. US democracy and human rights slogan has lost all credibility.
@@relativelycivilized2786 the only ones getting mental illness from the "war" are the American soldiers and the Afghan people who lost faith in god from western ideology indoctrination 👌
@@orion9k meh they willingly came to a country on the orders to kill. They don't deserve sympathy. They deserve all the devine punishment in here and after also. Taliban were the ones really fighting for their lives on the lines with the biggest superpower.
