“..Make a corridor and push on....”

Have you looked at a map? Make a “corridor” to where? It’s completely landlocked and totally surrounded by our enemies on all sides. This is why its call the place “where empires go to die.”
Without a secure airbase that can safely handle transports in and out, it’s basically a death sentence. Whoever was behind outright abandoning of our AFB there prior to this chaos, needs to be arrested and tried for treason. That base was crucial to the evacuation, not the commercial airport.
Now, we can either parachute in troops in an attempt to try to secure the airport enough to allow air traffic in and out (which itself is now surrounded by the taliwhackers armed with our own latest weaponry) or embarrassingly beg the ‘weird beards” for mercy on the world stage. No matter how it goes down, it’s a total disgrace at this point.

I care a whole lot less about the civilians who should have been leaving two weeks ago on their own than I do our young men who have been ordered into that shit hole. I hate to be fatalist but I just don’t see how some of them are going to get out.

Unless they are parachuting in, no one is landing. The Kabul airport is closed. Thousands of desperate people have overrun the airfield and the US military is scrambling to clear them.

Those Apache helicopters can't fly far.

How much is it going to cost to ransom the civilians and abandoned military members? Every penny of that needs to be taken from Democrats, starting with Jao Bai-din and Clown General Milley. They also need to be charged for war crimes for any U.S. civilian or military deaths.

Taliban would be stupid to go for the slaughter.

Allow peaceful exit, get billion$ from the west, garner praise from western/other media/world leaders for their "patience/understanding/benevolence".

Taliban(jihād)good/west (imperialist) bad.

...continue to play the long game.

Just ask our deep state how well that works

(answer: very well).

NOTHING would surprise me when it comes Islamic radicals: slaughter, bribes, whatever. Money means nothing to them.
Like I said, no matter how this all goes down, it’s a total and utter disgrace.

are all US embassy people out?

CBS last night: 10,000 Americans
still in Kabul(CNN 5,000)
plus another 40-60,000 Afghans
that will need evacuated
/\
\/

The afganies
( who weren’t vetted re ally or tally)
got 1st priority
.
While the U.s. citizens
were told to hide and file paperwork.

Why fly all those Afghanis
ALL the way to Wisconsin ,
among other states,
instead of a closer to Afghanistan country ?

Wouldn’t turn around time/distance
be planned
short as possible
to get more folks out faster ?

How many women and children where flown here
And how many men ?

Incompetence ?
Or
Complicity ?

First plane to get out safely,
among some other things,
led me to the same conclusion.

As long as the money flows,
the blood won’t.

As soon as the money/ tribute/ ransom
stops flowing,
the blood will start flowing imho.

Has Dennis Rodman been contacted?

After his diplomatic mission to North Korea, he is a better candidate for negotiations than the diplomats in the Jao Bai-din administration.

The United States government is going to make trillions in concessions to Communist China in the current trade war as part of negotiations that China will conveniently hold on our behalf with the Taliban.

Flights suspended out of Afghanistan as the Biden administration refuses to allow anyone on board without a mask.

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

I saw some post from the Taliban the other day, went something like “We have learned that the army and police in Kabul have abandoned the area. We had agreed to not enter the city, but now we must enter so that thieves and robbers do not run rampant. We must enter to protect the people of Kabul from the thieves and robbers.”
