Biden didn’t pay the ransom for the locals.

Ya know...

If I was in Afghanistan, I would have started making plans to get the hell out on November 4th. Or at least on January 6th, and most definitely by January 21.

“Biden said he had planned for such a contingency during his “buck stops here” managed withdraw. So just relax, Joe’s got it.”

Did he actually use the phrase, “the buck stops here?!” What a jack*ss.

It would be awesome if Trump sent his plane over, along with a set of private jets and caused a diversion elsewhere and got some of those people out….

How many Americans are still in solitary confinement in DC awatiing trial on what are knowingly trumped-up charges?

TO hear the Dems put it:

“And these people are NOT responsible for their own safety? They’re incapable of making a decision, say, a week, two weeks, three weeks ago that it might be time to leave?”

Most conservatives are unable to see the BLOODBATH about to hit this country if the Democrats get the power they crave (and they’re damn close). Then, when it’s obvious that we’re about to be on the receiving end of a Cultural Revolution that will take place within 2 weeks, do you think it will be easy to meander over to JFK and get a flight out?

What planning have you done? Or do you just sip your Chardonnay or Pinot Noir thinking that all will be fine, because we too are protected by Americans and our government tells us not to worry? I’d be shocked if you any exit plans - I’ve got plenty, including my target country identified. And if you think you can fight off the government, when they control everything, you’re in for a very rude awakening.

It’s always easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, but much harder to see developments when you’re on the field...

“Hillary got extremely lucky. Had it not been for the 4 special operators, who came to the aid of the State Dept. employees, there would have been hostages or a slaughter.”

Yep, they were under CLEAR ORDERS to Stand Down. But they said f-that, there were AMERICANS in danger and they managed to save most of them (except the 4 that were killed). Little did they know that they greatly helped prevent Obama’s defeat.

“WHAT??? Hundreds of thousands? Of Americans? Maybe tens of thousands, but even that seems high. I read 10k. That seems more in keeping with what’s going on.”

When you do the math, 100,000 is possible, but likely on the top end. Figuring that we’re spending $100B a year there (our average, if you can believe it), then it comes out to $1M per person, if 100,000 people - certainly possible.

So basically, you think the country, the USA, is about to become a bloodbath and you’re tucking tail and running.

Ergo……YOU ARE A F*CKING COWARD.

If this country, the USA, I’ll do whatever I need. If I go down swinging then I do. But I’ll be protecting my HOME. I’m certainly not the cowardly b*tch that you are.

But to the point of the article and my comments, something you didn’t respond to. Trying to compare contractors and journalists that allowed themselves to get stuck in a foreign country is beyond stupid. Those people, like I did, chose to go there and make money. If they weren’t paying attention to what is/was going on around them or ignored it, that’s on them.

But I’m sure a Prepper Ninja like yourself has all sorts of situational awareness. Probably enough to spare because you’re so ninja.

Best of luck to you and your group of Walking Dead Ninja Preppers, wherever your target country is. I’m sure you’ll all do well. Make sure you have a good supply of heirloom seeds and are good at farming, among other things

Do the rest of us Americans who aren’t cowards, when you crossover into your target country, burn your US Passport and any other for of identification given to you by a government agency in the US.

On a side note, normally I drink bourbon and beer. But I do enjoy a glass of Pinot Noir once in a while.

Be my guest and fight...you’ll quickly figure out that I’m right. You won’t have a prayer, and yes, they’ll kill as many of us as needed to hold power...and we have ZERO RESOURCES other than some guns and ammo - even our phones will be cut off.

Well, you make it sounds really easy to ‘hop a plane’ when the entire military operation is over in a week and the people with priority are the government workers.

Did you ever think that maybe there weren’t a whole lot of seats available?

You obviously didn’t read anything I wrote.

What has been happening in that country didn’t start last week. It’s been going on for months. A steady operation of them taking over the entire country, province by province. With little, if any, resistance.

They don’t own the thinking, but the ones drinking the Chardonnay, the liberals, are the ones that think the Afghanis actually liked them. They couldn’t believe that most of the Afghanis they interacted with, wanted to slit their throats.

But don’t worry, the Big Army is in Kabul to protect us.

The Big Army and all those insane and expensive air assets, drones, Apache’s, A10s are at Bagram Air Field. They’ll protect us. Until they’re not. Until you learn, one morning that all of them are gone and the Taliban confiscated everything that was Left behind. All under the direction of CornPop and his DOD.

Those are what they call, clues, in law enforcement.

If you think you can trust the US Government, ask an Indian.

Or an American Soldier.

I do not, sir.

Not in any way shape or form.

Two things I did tonight:

Read an article about 18 reasons not to get the shot

A meme about the US government poisoning alcohol during prohibition, this killing lots of folks.

Of course there’s all sorts of other info about experiments they’ve done

Nope. Do not trust it one bit.

CNN’s Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward thinks she safe because she put on a black burqa

She should ask Lara Logan about that one.

Taliban now rings Kabul airport, controlling access. US told its nationals and allies at weekend to shelter in place. How it now gets them from their current locations across the city to the airport through the Taliban ring is, as yet, unexplained. Big problem for PM Johnson too.
