Maybe these stupid-zzz libs will now realize that their fantasies and utopias are NOT reality.
But I doubt it....too dumb and too insane.

While the idiots spent the last 7 months inventing a domestic insurrection, THIS was happening.

Wonder what Gen Miley and his lawns are doing right now?

Kabul should be a pile of rubble except for one building.

It is not

“Street fighting has begun in Kabul as the helicopters are trying to evacuate the US embassy...” — 8/14/21

“The Taliban is not the North Vietnamese Army. They’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability. There’s going to be no circumstances where you’re going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy in the United States from Afghanistan.” — Joe Biden, quoted in The Hill, 8/13/21

I know Biden asked them not to take the embassy, and warned them there would be a strong and swift response, but nevertheless, I’d imagine the US Embassy has to be one of the top 3 places they will head to first.

I wonder if the Taliban had help from intelligence services, like Russian, China, or Iran, people who remember what the Iranian hostage crises did to President Carter.

I’d read earlier that it was 72 hours to get all the Americans out.

Is this day one of a new hostage crises?

Who gave the stand down order? Are there some secrets that the embassy staff know of that the gubmint doesn’t want revealed?

People are actually saying that the Taliban has no interest in attacking foreign officials and that peace will come once the Taliban fully takes over. This will be Iran X 100

Biden isn’t running anything. It’s incompetent generals.. they just can’t let go so have made a mess of this (in my opinion).

“Biden will pay the ransom.”

*****

Not if a prolonged crises is the goal. They can make the demands something that strategically can not be accommodated, like elimination of sanctions on Iran.

And Iran can pay the Taliban to keep the prisoners. As can China and Russian.
