Won’t happen, total fantasy.

Biden is POTUS with National Command Authority.

Unless he changes his mind (he won’t) we will be stuck in Kabul Alamo Airport until the 31st.

If we make any military moves outside of Kabul Alamo Airport, the Taliban can shut down our evan with a couple mortar shells, and then even our 5,800 troops will be trapped in a modern Dien Bien Phu.

Obama put us into a trap when he ordered Bagram abandoned, relying on Kabul Alamo Airport, meaning, depending on the good graces of the Taliban.

A man with his neck in a guillotine cannot negotiate new terms. That’s what Kabul Alamo Airport is: a guillotine.
