This is similar to Stalingrad, when the Wehrmacht was cut off, Hitler after initially telling to them stand firm and not retreat got encircled, when he finally sent an army to help them break out it failed and left them in Stalingrad.....
What options does Biden have now other than groveling, paying ransom or looking 100x worse than Jimmy Carter.
Yup—and the Taliban can bleed Biden a little bit at a time for months and months...
He is gonna have to start praying to Allah (on live TV so the Taliban can watch) to get him out of this mess...

Their rabid, blind hatred of all things Trump led them into this trap.
They didn’t think beyond anything but Trump
We are no witnessing the result that will likely cost many American lives.
They made their bed and are now handcuffed to it with no way out.
Libs always think of themselves as smarter and better than anyone else, especially the unwashed masses, when the reality is that they’re dumber than a box of rocks.
The most illiterate Taliban commander is smarter than anyone in the By-Done administration including the entire Joint Chiefs, especially the woke joke Milley
IF it weren’t for the seriousness of the lives involved, it would be comical.
There is no way for our troops/citizens to get out except by air, and no nearby ground, naval, or air support. Nor are there any natural defenses and they are surrounded by a hostile city. Who is supplying the food and water? A few shoulder fired missiles or AAA batteries can stop all air traffic.
This is a total catastrophe in the making.
