Per Fox News - breaking - All flights out of the Kabul airport have been suspended due to the situation there. In other words, the only way out is to try to drive or walk to the border. Pray for those who have been abandoned by our government.

The people who keep track of who is where have either escaped the country, are in hiding or are dead.

Good luck getting any real data.

This is a total unraveling.

“Abandoned by our government” is exactly what is happening. This election fraud is going to have a huge toil in human suffering. Only an idiot would assume that this would have happened under a Trump withdrawal.

But then, Democrats are idiots.

I assume that includes the 75% of Traditional American Citizens in America?

Now is about the time that the tahllybahn move in and assert their control over the situation.

Or maybe they just move in their artillery and mortars that Joe gave them.

Pray for those people.

General Milley needs to be the Final Casualty of Afghanistan.

If you can’t even handle a f###ing withdrawal, you are not a great military leader. You are an incompetent bafoon.

Russia, China, and Pakistan have closed the air routes in and out.

Incoming 82nd is a good thing. Biden hasn’t had enough time to chase out the straight Patriots and replace them with transgender, gay, cross dressing Marxist’s.

If the military handles the second phase of this operation with the same skill it handled the first phase.....

you can complete the sentence yourself.

NPR news is lying about the events, blaming Trump and Biden equally for what is happening, and minimizing it all.

It only takes a couple of woke zombies in leadership to turn a well thought out mission into a debacle...

The reason—woke zombies are more concerned with covering their own tails than executing the mission as designed.
