We were held like criminals by US soldiers and now escorted to a plane to Doha.
I never thought that I would ever experience something like this as a crisis reporter with the US military.
Does the Press mean anything to the US Government?
….
Last question was kind of tricky for me .Could have been translated other ways. Cynical written.
Don't know if this is the BILD reporter or not
Paul Ronzheimer is the BILD reporter who was forced out of Kabul.
The quote wasn't from him.
BILD may be behind a paywall. For some reason this opened for me. In German.
Basically US wants out of Dodge as fast as possible. Germans last day is Friday.
Quote in the article from the BILD reporter
"Die Amerikaner wollen nicht, dass die Welt ihr Scheitern sieht."
The Americans don't want the world to see it's failure.
Scheitern is failure, literally, but it connotates more of a hapless or doomed failure, or complete collapse
Just not a good look for the US.
