Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Russian military journalist takes a tour of the aftermath of the evacuation of the Kabul Airport
By Aleksandr Kots
[KP] "Silent Bob" (as I call the Taliban guard on duty at our home), having learned where we were going, even beamed with his usually lean face. With gestures that could not bear objection, he explained that he would accompany us on this short voyage. And they did not accept any arguments against this venture.

#7 until I realized the dog doesn't speak English
