if they were “18 years old?”, and then disappear

They already knew ELECTION FRAUD could take out the
dying Republic, through THEIR satellites Leonardo et alia.

The US cut their access to a $9.5B in GIRoA funds held here in the US. This is a pressure point to begin negotiations for access. Hostages come next.
I bet he is not making that statement while on the tarmac in Kabul...
Has the biden crowd given the taliban nukes yet ?
When biden called to leave Bagram airbase it was over.

“The United States Air Force (USAF) has opened an investigation into the chaotic scenes at Kabul airport on Monday as people scrambled to escape Taliban rule, that saw at least eight people killed”
This is hilariously funny to me. Some poor military person involved with that transport is going to get in trouble when it is Top Brass that deserve the boot.
‘The Taliban look like 1970s hippies’: Social media users ridicule the terrorists as they crack down on western dress in Kabul - but hang on to their sunglasses, high-top trainers and own-branded merchandise

Paging hunter ....
I don’t know how he managed to do it with all the plastic surgery he’s had, but that SOB blinked.
In front of the whole world he blinked. And to the entire world that means the USA blinked.
Unforgivable crime against this country and all countries who value freedom. Spit
What about American citizens? Are they stuck in kabul? remember joe the traitor said that he would not prioritize the evacuation of Americans from kabul. A “commander in chief” who leaves citizens behind to savage subhuman beasts is no commander.
