If Joseph Stolen wanted to destroy the USA, what would he do differently from what he is doing now?

Are any American citizens speaking up about about friends and family trapped in Afghanistan?

Im guessing that the US would demand that any “coordinated effort” be headed up by a US general. So I dunno. Maybe the other allies would be better off working on their own.

“...a deal worked out between the U.S. and Taliban leaders is not being honored..”

Gee, who could have foreseen that, the Taliban seem so trustworthy.

The way things look right now, Americans will be left behind in Afghanistan and what is even more predictable with this president is that the entire nation will be left behind when the SHTF. That we still accept this clown in the WH only shows how feeble minded Americans are. Any other nation would have rid itself from such a leader.

“We don’t have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people,” Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on Aug. 18

How about small numbers of people Mr. Secretary...can you handle that?

And how about activating some of that 'over the horizon ' capability General Mills keeps talking about, and demonstrate some "consequences" for the Taliban.
