Joe Biden's national security adviser warned the Taliban on Sunday that the U.S. will issue a 'forceful' response if they interfere in American evacuation efforts from Afghanistan – and he doesn't rule out sending in more troops.

'If in the end Americans are blocked from getting to the airport, blocked from leaving the country, or our operations are disrupted or our evacuations are in some way interfered with, we have explained to them that there will be a swift and forceful response,' Jake Sullivan told NBC News host Chuck Todd during an interview on Meet the Press.

Sullivan detailed that Washington has an agreement with the Taliban that they will allow all American citizens passage to the Kabul airport – including through any checkpoints along their travel to the Hamid Karzai International Airport.

That was like three days ago, Joe.

[Bayan]

Even the Taliban laughed at that.

[KC_Lion]

And then the Taliban shells the airport and it’s all over.

The Biden/Harris regime already got the people it cares about out. Using military transport nonetheless.

“In fact, working in close coordination with the management of the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal, we have successfully evacuated all 204 of their employees in Afghanistan on U.S. military aircraft earlier this week.” - Biden August 20, 2021

Was Jake wearing his red rubber nose?

[no-to-illegals]

He must have a drinking date with legs up. Otherwise he wouldn’t be talking that way

Somehow I think this tough talk doesn’t scare them.

[Howie66]

Yeah, right. I’m sure that the Taliban are just quaking in their boots.

Good time to have an imbecile for a President, and an affirmative action dolt as SecDef.

Americans are being blocked from evacuating - in fact, they are being beaten and their passports are being stolen when they try to evacuate. So let's see the 'swift, forceful response', Jake. Biden drooling on himself doesn't count.

He is kind of like the little spaceman in a Bugs Bunny cartoon puffing up the chest and issuing threats.

[dfwgator]

Meanwhile, under the cover of darkness, thousands of Afghan refugees are coming here. Many are agents of the Taliban.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Shouldn't the pResident or Sec Def or top military general be making such a statement?

WORTHLESS!

[Tommy Revolts]

Alrighty then.
