Major air carriers American and Southwest airlines on Monday joined the Afghan evacuation effort, freeing up parts of their fleets to aid in the US withdrawal from Kabul.

American is deploying three wide-body planes to US military bases and other third-country sites to transport Afghan refugees who were flown out of Kabul airport by military aircraft — with Southwest announcing it will dispatch four flights on Monday, Fox Business reported.

WHY aren’t getting AMERICANS out the top priority?

Oh, never mind...

“come together around a common purpose and work together for the greater good,”

Infesting civilized nations with Muslim savages is NOT ‘the greater good’.

At this point, I’m rooting for the Taliban shut down the Kabul airport. Its the only way to stop another pre-planned, deep-state undocumented immigrant invasion

They are not “evacuating” the refugees.

They are relocating them.

No SW airplane will be landing in Afghanistan.

In flight movies....
Sure.

The refugees already have been getting off the stairs when told the boring list of movies. They try the next plane if the movies are better.

The article doesn’t say where the airlines are taking them.

I strongly suspect U.S. red states.

That’s why it’s being kept quiet.

The common purpose is to import thugs and disease to the US.

Importing military age males who have left their women and kids to the Taliban.

Wonder what kind of quid pro quo those airlines got from Deep State for doing this...

They have a continuing contract which assures them of some big bucks while doing regular carrier work.
