The Taliban settle in

The first thing the Taliban did even before they had finished chasing U.S. troops out of Afghanistan was to confiscate privately owned guns. Because “because people no longer need them for personal protection,” they said.

That’s the first thing all despots do. It tends to reduce political opposition. Interestingly, it’s what President Joe Biden and his Democrat cohorts say is needed in the U.S., as well.

The next thing the Taliban did was search for people who had “worked with” the Americans over the last 20 years. What do you think is in store for those folks? Particularly the ones who no longer have guns.

When world opinion unanimously feared out loud for the fate of Afghanis who were unable to hitch a ride out of town on a U.S. airplane, the Taliban graciously negotiated a way to let people flee for their lives at the airports. Sounds almost considerate, no?

Could the Taliban be achieving something other than just a PR coup of feigned benevolence? If the Taliban wants to identify U.S.-friendly, Taliban-hating Afghanis, what better way than see who fills the roads leading to the airport?

What do you think the odds are of dozens of checkpoints being set up to stop and question -- and then arrest and torture and kill -- those people trying to get to the airport? Who would risk going to the airport? Might as well hang a sandwich board on their shoulders to advertise whose side they aren’t on.

How many on those roads do you really think the Taliban will allow to pass? Half? One out of 10? How many would be consistent with their blood-thirsty reputation? One out of 100,000? Who could possibly know,

Why not settle in? The American forces were ordered out so they could settle in leaving thousands of Americans vulnerable. The commanding General was the first to leave Afghanistan. The Billion Dollar US Embassy is now owned by the Taliban. Thanks Obozo and Biden.

They will collect names now and then later after conning the US into unfreezing the 9.4 billion in funds, kill every one of them a few months from now when the spotlight is off.

I wish the US citizens stuck in Afghanistan all the best, but what the hell were you thinking? You had blind faith in a man known to make horrible decisions ALL his political life. Biden was against the killing of OBL. He doesn’t give a hoot about anyone and is not in control of his mental facilities or the Presidency.

Anyone with half a brain could see the end was in sight when Barharim airbase was closed. This opened the door for the end game.

They will let out their own members under the guise of letting out refugees for the purpose of terror attacks.

I don’t trust them.

No doubt they will start on plans to attack the US from the inside.

It would not surprise me if the Biden puppet masters were smuggling Taliban fighters into the US on some of these planes so they can create havoc here in the streets. That’s how evil this bunch of satanics are.
