there's currently a british guy called Lord Miles in Kabul having a wonderful time.
this thread is wild
miles might just survive
holy shit he's making it
a dark turn
imagine actually still typing this out into a thread while hiding from the taliban
reality is stranger than fiction. the man is now in a safe house and may livestream soon. what.
lord miles went live for a bit, said this, then the livestream cut off, he deleted the post, and then posted his twitch link twitch.tv/milesroutledge…
shit is wild
on the stream he said he wanted to go to syria and called the embassy to ask if he could meet Assad, but they said no.
>banepost if caught
stream died, last words were 'it smells'. Got the whole lot recorded, but will have to edit into an actual video at some point cause bots kept spamming big black dicks in the chat.
stream is still going on, keeps cutting in and out and needs refreshing if it doesn't return. lord miles has some good stories, utterly mental lad
stream is complete, he's going to bed. heard some helos going over and one of my mates has done his best to map his location using the flight radar. hell of a time and hell of a story. I honestly can't believe it's fake given all the evidence.
As of 8:00am AFT Miles is still alive and posting his FB. Started a new 4c thread as well but harder to judge if that's actually him. Still at the safe house it seems, airport in Kabul is chaos right now. Safe house location has also been revealed, by a third party he messaged.
the ride never ends
update from Miles, he's evacuated. Whether that means from Afghanistan or from his current safehouse, unclear. three small propeller planes lifting off from Kabul.
video is ready for render soon, had an absolutely insane story with some leaked information, full story soon.
and the video is live, collating all of the information so far including extra information yet to be shared, along with one of the most shocking cases of mishandling private information I've ever seen. Enjoy
and holy shit I am going to sleep. yell at me to correct things when I wake up if I did get something wrong.
morning all, chasing things up as I wake up. more posts on Facebook from Miles.
looks like Miles may be finally out of the country, with this being posted at roughly 6am Afghanistan Time.
Miles seems to mistake here that the accusation was that the interpreter's location was shared. That was not the issue. The interpreter's name being shared is the dangerous part, as this reveals his family, those who may know him, and enables the Taliban to hunt him down. /cont
Miles stated on the livestream that his interpreter fears for his life, and that of his family. Privately revealing his identity to embassy workers to attempt to obtain a visa or protection, I understand. The way the interpreter's name was published was not remotely close to that
Miles is safe in Dubai. Coverage shall hold here for now, at least for a while, unless something crazy happens.

Some major notes for the day:
- Ukraine MOD stated they were switching to counter-offensive posture
- Russian forces seemed to mostly halt their advances
- According to the mayor of Mariupol, the ceasefire was not respected and civilians were fired upon
- Increase in Russian aircraft being downed, including pilots being taken prisoner
- Russian column in Irpin (18 hours ago)
- Putin stated those enforcing a NFZ would be seen as being part of the conflict
- Civilian protests in occupied towns fired upon by Russian soldiers
The big one I want to mention is a statement by Putin: 'the work on the destruction of military infrastructure in Ukraine is almost complete' Now the reason I think this is major is because we may see a Sino-Vietnamese exit strategy. I'll try to fit the explanation into tweets.
