Y’ know, I’ve tried to put myself in the place of, say, a 25 yr. old interpreter for the US, in Kabul, with a wife and 2 kids.

If I head to the Kabul airport with the family, almost certainly we will be caught, or blocked by the Taliban at a checkpoint, with a good likelihood we’ll all be killed, wifey probably raped in the process. Maybe the kids get sold into slavery. If I am caught hiding at home with the family, same deal. On my own, I may have some chance at evading the Taliban & getting to the airport (more so early on), and Wifey & kids may be safer without my presence at home. Maybe she can convince Taliban she was forced into the marriage or some such tale, and that I ran (true.)

Now, some of those men on the plane likely DID simply abandon their families, only thinking of themselves. I know some American males who are no better. But, truth is, almost anyone who was working for the Westerners in Kabul had “some” guts. Judging them all as a group, when we have no evidence against any individual on that plane that I know of, is the very essence of racism.

Won't be much longer if we keep pushing sodomy and taking in refugees on them.

It’s not racism when no women kids on plane. A man would leave his wife kid’s to be raped or sold is a coward who does not deserve a seat on that plane.

And ask yourself, how did they escape the Taliban? Or did the Taliban let them escape?

There’s not a word about this in any other UK news. I believe this story is not referring to any official resolution or finding of Parliament.

There were no doubt some fiery speeches attacking Biden, by individual Parliament members. They torture the truth to say “Parliament” held Bidet in contempt.

Meanwhile, these Euroweenie morons, including the ones in the United Queendom, snickered at President Trump and were happy when brain-dead Bite Me stole the election.

Screw ‘em all.

Donald Trump was one of the best presidents in American history.

Why won’t even the Republicans show some outrage at what Biden has done? Even a little concern would be appreciated.

Here is just a handful of what comes up on a duckduckgo search:

GOP pols slam Biden for ‘hiding’ at Camp David while Afghanistan falls

McConnell: Biden's handling of Afghanistan is 'an unmitigated disaster'

McConnell blasts Biden on Afghanistan: 'He owns it'

McCarthy calls for probe into Biden administration’s handling of Afghanistan

‘Bald-faced lie’: Republicans slam Biden for Afghanistan comments and chaos amid US withdrawal

Tom Cotton: Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal 'recklessly negligent,' catastrophic for America

Susan Collins hits Biden administration for Afghanistan ‘chaos’ with Maine delegation split over exit

Rep. Brian Mast: Biden’s ‘Incompetence’ on Afghanistan is ‘Unforgivable’

Lindsey Graham says mess in Afghanistan is 'all on President Biden'

Lindsey Graham says heads should roll at State Department over Afghanistan debacle

WATCH: Jim Jordan slams Biden Administration's disastrous Afghan withdrawal

Marco Rubio blasts Afghanistan ‘catastrophe,’ blames Joe Biden’s ‘terrible plan’

Rick Scott raises removing Biden from office over Afghanistan

Rick Scott: Joe Biden Is ‘Incompetent. Unhinged. Incoherent. Unfit.’

Andy Barr: Biden’s ‘botched’ Afghanistan pullout a ‘slap in the face’ to US troops

Missouri US Senator Josh Hawley calls President Biden decision to withdrawal from Afghanistan “disastrous”

Again, this is just a handful of what you will find.

Pretty rich from a country all set to import thousands of military age Afghan males who left their women and kids at the mercy of the Taliban.”

Shortly after I showed my wife, the photos from inside the US cargo plane loaded with Afghans. She had the following to say:

“Where are the women and children?”

“Most of those ‘saved ones’ are healthy young male adults?”

“What the hell are we doing now?”

This from our former closest ally.

The Elite Brits in political power and in their intel gangs, hated Trump and worked 24/7 to get rid of him before and after he became our president.

However, they have zero love/care nor any reason to protect Joe, our Idiot Potus.

Limeys wanted Biden, they got him. Embrace the suck.

Reality really sucks for those who wanted Biden instead of Trump as our POTUS!
