They will and do. I can almost guarantee on Sept 11, they will fly their flag over the embassy.
“...The smell will drive them way though...”
Naaa... with her retched stench of stale urine and rotten cabbage, they’d probably welcome her as one of their own.
You bring up an interesting and frightening thought - our ‘allies’ holding Americans hostage to force their own rescue. I can see that.
I heard the opinion this morning that the Taliban would probably refrain from hostage taking, but I can now see friendlies possibly doing it too.
A mortar or rocket attack on the airport would change everything.
There were also many more who worked for US-funded development projects. Even 15 years ago I had a staff member in Kandahar get a “night letter.” We reassigned him to Kabul.
It was lost when the election of 2020 was Stolen.
“..you can bet that the mainstream mediocres will not broadcast the videos or discuss it as it will bring back images of 1975 and the fall of Saigon...”
The taliwhackers and the foreign press will have plenty of video of it.
It will get out regardless of the corrupt MSM. They won’t be able to hide it.
The People will see it.
They have all kinds of US supplied transport that was given to them by the Zho Xiden regime. Also weapons and ammunition.
Helicopters hovering over Kabul have a long way to fly to get out of danger. Saigon was a short hop to a carrier, compared to that. If the embassy is cut off from Kabul Airport, it’s going to be tough extracting them.
I think your scenario is certainly plausible, if it hasn’t actually happened already. Recent reports I’ve seen a few days ago were that they were already shredding embassy documents. No way the corrupt MSM would report this until Biden’s lackies, like Gen. Sissy Milley, santitized everything. The corrupt MSM is probably holding back the real info until the Democrat clean up.
Why would the Taliban refrain from taking hostages?
Would you do that if you were the head of Taliban and Joke Buyden were your enemy’s president?
“..It was lost when the election of 2020 was Stolen...”
THIS ^
It’s a “dead man walking” scenario. They just haven’t realized it yet.
Are the 3,000 troops that are going to be sent over there going to get their shots so they are least protected from the ‘rona while they are getting shot at while trying to save the lives of State Department officials, many of whom probably voted for Biden?
100%
“Build back better” right Joe?
You and your accomplicec are not just incompetant but rather complicit in the intentional destruction of the U.S.
The Taliban have faithful servants in Obama, Jobama and their ilk and by them, the American tax payers and our brave American military is paying the price for their treason. But we all know that already.
“...Helicopters hovering over Kabul have a long way to fly to get out of danger. Saigon was a short hop to a carrier, compared to that. If the embassy is cut off from Kabul Airport, it’s going to be tough extracting them....”
Very true, unless they can refuel somewhere or refuel in air.
Surprised the taliwhackers haven’t already shelled the hell out of the airport to block the exit. Before this is over, we may see, God forbid, American heads loped off. Praying for our Marines that have to go get em out.
It’s likely Biden is handling Afghanistan like China has requested.
Biden is doing to Afghanistan what he already did to our Southern Border..both are now lost causes..this is what happens when commies steal elections
Well yeah, since China has all the videos of Hunter raping his niece thats a hellava lot of leverage to hang over Biden’s head
