If you’ve had any experience with civilian extractions, there are a whole lot of things in Afghanistan that don’t add up.
One year ago, we had 2,500 U.S Military on the ground in Afghanistan in a non-combat advisory and over-watch role. They could go pretty much anywhere in the country and were not taking any casualties. Things were relatively stable by Afghanistan standards.
Yet somehow today, despite having 5,000 troops on the ground from the Marines and 82nd Airborne – that is, fully-armed combat infantry – our military is besieged inside a three-square-mile perimeter at Kabul airport surrounded by Taliban guerillas. We are told that their only mission is securing the airport perimeter and we see them struggle even with that task, as hundreds of Afghan civilians swarm the tarmac and clamber onto airplanes taxiing to takeoff.
Somehow, we are supposed to believe our forces have no capabilities to go out to rescue trapped American citizens, Afghan translators, and other Afghans who worked for us. Somehow, we are not supposed to see up-armored HUMVEEs and MRAP vehicles or the Apache helicopter gunships used to clear civilians off the runways a few days ago. We are also not supposed to see the Chinook helicopters they used a few days ago to get everyone from the embassy onto the airfield.
We are supposed to believe the U.S. military forgot how to set up alternative pickup points around the city, whether back at the old embassy, at other locations around Kabul, or outside the city in a remote field someplace. We just forgot how to contact trapped Americans by text message or covert means to set up a rendezvous with the Chinooks before the Taliban figure out where they are, with Apaches in over-watch security just in case.

Things only make sense when you realize that Joe Bidden is a traitor, owned lock, stock and barrel by the communists Chinese.
Five stars are worn in a circle.
It is a decision to protect the regime in DC only. The propaganda press is very powerful at keeping the majority of Americans from learning what’s really going on. We’ll see how they do with this atrocity.
Sorry I left off the sarcasm tag. /s
I thought it was obvious.
Yeh, my thoughts exactly. Plus why have we not seen even one report of the estimated numbers of Taliban fighters in Kabul? Looking at the numerous videos you never see more than 3-4 sitting in a pickup. Or standing on the street. Kabul is a huge city of 4 million people.
How many Taliban are actually even there? Its bizarre that nobody seems to know but they are certain the Taliban have a stranglehold on the airport. There is something not right about this whole mess.
I’ve seen no evidence of this.
Show the evidence.
That’s my feeling. Obama is president and Soros his chief advisor.
Fantastic!
Thank you...
I downloaded it from youtube and reuploaded it here just in case utube deletes it; https://www.bitchute.com/video/PVCnTv0sqB86/
Kidnap the top 30-40 Taliban leaders and negotiate a better deal.
Just spit balling.
Why? Because the Scythian’s and the chicoms eventually band together to attack Israel, according to Ezekiel. The Scythian’s or Afghanis are among others, Magog.
Thank you Sir!
