Biden is relying on the Taliban to help evacuate up to 40K Americans trapped in Afghanistan: US citizens in the war-torn nation are told to 'shelter in place' until it's safe

The White House confirmed that it is relying on the Taliban to help provide safe passage for civilians looking to evacuate Afghanistan as the State Department warns US civilians there to 'shelter in place' until it is safe to leave.

On Tuesday, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters that the Biden administration was in contact with the Taliban, who committed to ensuring US citizens exit the country safely.

'The Taliban have informed us that they are prepared to provide the safe passage of civilians to the airport, and we intend to hold them to that commitment,' Sullivan said.

The deal comes just six weeks after president Biden stated 'No, I do not trust the Taliban.'

Sullivan addressed reports of Taliban fighters beating Afghans attempting to enter the airport in Kabul.

He said for the most part the Taliban is keeping up their end of the deal.

“Biden is relying on the Taliban to help evacuate up to 40K Americans trapped in Afghanistan: US citizens in the war-torn nation are told to ‘shelter in place’ until it’s safe”

The Taliban say they are allowing “safe passage” so why would anyone need to “shelter in place”?

Who are they “sheltering” from?

Mitch McConnell bears a large portion of the responsibility for the election of Joe Biden. And Mitch needs to pay big time.

RINO-controlled state legislatures who gave the Steal to Potato Joe on a platter will have blood on their hands as soon as the first American is executed by the Taliban.

Stolen elections have consequences. Make the RINOs face those consequences in the 2022 primaries.

Time to rewatch the movies 55 DAYS AT PEKING and KHARTOUM again.

This Kabul mess Biden has gotten us into could go either way.

The taliban is going to take civilians to the airport and guarantee their safety. Bearded savages don’t suddenly do nice, kind things out of the goodness of their hearts. Something is expected in return, and the decrepit old fool isn’t telling us what it is. My guess is 1 million “refugees” to be “resettled” in the USA in states that voted Republican.

9/11 this year is another victory for the islamists. This one handed to them on a silver platter by the doddering, finger-poking old fool.

Soon after that, a massive campaign of cleaning up the image of the taliban begins. Before you can say “prayer rug” 10 times, democrats will be praising them for providing free healthcare and “equality.”

Next up. John Kerry or Hunter Biden will fly palates of cash to Kabul from the frozen Taliban bank accounts. History repeats itself.

Perhaps this is the reason why the Biden Administration is failing to act in a solicitous manner toward them, but rather is leaving them to their own devices behind enemy lines. Sort of similar to Trump’s story about the woman and the snake.

Exactly.

Let the f**kers try and re-imagine that.

Their re-imagined world just opened a can of whoop a$$ on the RINOS and the Usurper Dems!

They must live in the real world now.

Dems are reapidly hiding their support of Stealer Joe.........

They should be ashamed, but they will not be unless we make them ashamed.....now they hide away just like their cowardly re-imagined effer President.And the Rinos are running around with “Who me?” looks on their idiotic faces. They need to be called out and targeted. Smeared with camel dung......branded with Arabesque Taliban Chinese hot irons.

Nows the time to make ‘em pay.

Re-imagine THIS! 7000 beheaded American supporters in Kabul’s Sports Stadium. Done by Biden ON PURPOSE. Girl Frien ds of American servicemen stoned to death. Re-imagine that Mother Effer Joe!

Now you will pay!

The first sentence says it all. We are relying on the Taliban. So reassuring.

“shelter in place” until we can arrange to forget about you.
As soon as BeijingBiden was selected for office, those folks should have run. Anyone who thought this was gonna be any different from SouthAfrica was a fool.

Job Biden to Americans in Afghanistan: “Drop Dead”

They still believe whatever the Taliban tell them. Amazing.
+++++
It is hard to disagree with that.

But …

Personally I think the Taliban would be really stupid to interfere with evacuation of any foreigners. They want (and I believe they will get) some level of legitimacy from some world governments if they don’t interfere.

The Taliban wants them out and Biden is obeying that wish.

Why not just stand back and watch?
Pretend to be nice for a month or two.
Then let Shira run its course.

Biden to Americans in Afghanistan: “Drop Dead”

Don't want your family members complaining to their Congress-critter--if you get phone or Internet access let them know you have decided to commit suicide by chopping your head off...

Thanks in advance for your co-operation!

I would expect them to extort each country--one at a time--for whatever concessions they want (money, recognition, business concessions, etc.).

The Talibans have basic street smarts--they give nothing away for free.

For the most part. Translation: We're keeping the girls?

All the girls except for the three year olds.

Ten percent of them go to The Big Guy.

The media is giving us the angle that the Taliban is Humane and caring as the new occupants of the Afghan govt. Let’s see how this unfolds...


And the scapegoat of “ they lied to us”

The ultimate Pontius Pilate move. I wash my hands of this decision....
