Biden admin moved to dismantle protections for citizens trapped overseas months before Kabul’s fall: memo
Fox News ^ | August 18, 2021 | Houston Keene , Rich Edson

Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR) was created during Trump administration

The Biden administration moved in June to dismantle a system designed to protect American citizens trapped abroad — just months before the Taliban took over Afghanistan, stranding thousands of Americans in the Central Asian country.

Fox News has obtained the June 11 memo sent around the State Department which gave the green light on the "discontinuation of the establishment, and the termination of, the Contingency and Crisis Response Bureau (CCR)."

The sensitive but unclassified memo was signed by Deputy Secretary of State Brian McKeon, just a couple of months before the Biden administration’s botched troop withdrawal that saw Afghanistan fall under Taliban control.

The more that comes out, the more it becomes apparent that this was deliberately allowed to happen.

When do they ever do something that is not deliberate.

The leaving of all that military equipment behind was a serious compromise of our military secrets. The technology in our aviation (drones included) and hand held weapons is now in the hands of the Chinese, Russians and Iranians. Everything that President Trump did to build up our military has been wiped away. What is the crime for giving away our military secrets?

As I said, biden was told to do this by the taliban/chicoms as part of the plan they dictated to him for the destruction of Afghanistan, followed by that of the USA.

If it harms America, it’s deliberate. That’s their MO.

Heard the most plausible theory yet about the debacle in Afghanistan:

It all happened the way it did because the Biden Administration WANTED it to happen that way.

In my view, a bunch of people in the biden administration deserve to be hauled before a firing squad . . . INCLUDING Sleepy Joe.

I wondered why so many Americans were stuck in Talibanistan. Everyone knew months in advance that a D-Day was eminent. Why didn’t non essentials bug out when they could?

Now we know. The Ice Crème Regime blocked them in.

"When you had the government of Afghanistan, the leader of that government, getting in a plane and taking off and going to another country, when you saw the significant collapse of the Afghan troops we had trained, up to 300,000 of them just leaving their equipment and taking off – that’s what happened," he said.

Because Biden withdrew their air support.

Why do people look for conspiracy theories when the innate incompetence and stupidity of the weenie deep state explains this current Afghani clusterflock?

Historical proof of the lack of intelligence in the deep state goes all the way back to the deep state not noticing 500,000 ChiComms massed at the Korean border in 1950.

I believe it was deliberate. I am convinced Obama is the puppet master here and just like he supported the Muslim brotherhood during his reign, he is still supportive of a Muslim caliphate. It all fits perfectly in my opinion.
