About the only good news is that the Biden administration didn’t force the military to outsource rocket defenses to the Taliban the way that it did checkpoints and security so that the rockets were intercepted.
The bad news is that this was likely a trial run.
There was a similar trial run for an airport attack before the big suicide bombing. Such trial runs test defenses and search for weaknesses before the decisive attack takes place.
United States defenses against such attacks are better than defenses against suicide bombings. So we’re still in pretty good shape, but if Biden hadn’t abandoned Bagram Air Base and then turned over Kabul to the Taliban, we would never have been this vulnerable to begin with.
