Remarkable footage shows the truly epic scale of the exodus of Afghans fleeing their country to head west.

The almost-biblical scenes of the mass migration across the desert where the borders of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran all meet shows an endless river of people flowing between the mountains.

And for British politicians concerned about an influx of migrants to Europe, these images will confirm their worst fears.

Are we supposed to support the evil afghan islamics just cause we don’t like biden’s side?

They’re both bad news to me.

It tells you something about how bad things are when you are escaping to Iran.

Very likely that describes a lot of them. But not all of them.

That was my thought too. I gather that most of them are actually on their way to Turkey, and the people smugglers are Iranian and meet them at the border to take them on through.

And after Turkey…Europe.

I guess people smuggling is an old established “profession” in those parts.

I went through several border points in Austria and Hungary last month. They were searching all the vehicles, especially the contents of trucks trying to block immigrants to the European Union.

Biden made it almost impossible for the people of Afghanistan to fight back after he gave billions of dollars of our most advanced weaponry to the Taliban.

This whole outcome is the result of a well-planned strategy by the ghouls who run the Biden administration. Nothing was left to chance.

Those poor people. They didnt want to leave their homes. They’re on the run because they’ll be killed and the women raped or worse. Dammit I feel for them. This is Bidens fault completely.
