“Americans and Afghan refugees”

Category error. Don’t mix unlike things together, or you get all confused.

The Taliban won the war. They get to do with their traitors as they wish.

Americans who wish to leave Afghanistan are much more important to us than Afghans.

It honestly seems like we need an actual leader in this country. We are choosing our Presidents wrongly. We should go back to how the founding times chose a President: his PROVEN METTLE IN CONFRONTING AND NEGOTIATING WITH OPPONENTS, HIS EXCELLENCE AND BRAVERY IN ACTUAL BATTLE, and his character and personal strength and intelligence evident.

No matter which side of the aisle, we now choose people who are well connected, appear good in photos, and will do the bidding of one or more powerful entities.

We need actual leadership, not a great junior executive.

Given Rep. McCaul is the probable source for this, credibility greatly increased. Please forgive my earlier doubts.

Wonder if the ‘news’ media will cover this. Especially when the Texas abortion law is so much more compelling.

A US lawmaker has accused the Taliban of stopping Afghans and Americans from leaving Afghanistan via Mazar-i-Sharif International Airport.

Republican House member Michael McCaul said on Sunday that planes had been trying to leave the airport “for the last couple of days”.

An NGO confirmed to the BBC that it had people waiting to board one of the flights.

The Taliban has denied the claims, labelling them as propaganda.
Spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told the BBC: “This is not true. Our Mujahideen have nothing to do with ordinary Afghans. This is propaganda and we reject it.”

Mr McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News there were six planes carrying American citizens and Afghan interpreters waiting at the airport.

“[The State Department] has cleared these flights and the Taliban will not let them leave the airport,” he said.

The Texas representative added: “We know the reason why is because the Taliban want something in exchange.”

And so, The Plan©️ begins. Epect to see the ChiComs start to ‘negotiate’ as a ‘symbol of good faith’ for America.

Expect to see XiJinBiden cede Taiwan, declaring it a ‘Province (of China) in rebellion’. Expect to see him declare the ‘nine dash line’ to be China’s border. Ezpwct ANY sanctions against the PRC to be cancelled.

This happened quicker than I thought it would. Obviously, CCP diplomacy with the Taliwhackers was quicker than expected.

I am afraid Israel, with XiJinBiden in charge, you are on your own!

Maybe they are filling the plane with terrorists and claiming they are Americans in order to get a ransom.

Sort of joking but I would not rule out the Taliban seeding the craft with terrorists.

Mohammed 1: “can you imagine the Americans actually paying us ransom to to ship over terrorists? ha ha ha”.

Mohammed 2: “Not bad. Not bad. Let’s see just how stupid ol’ Joe is?”

Shocking...

A President Trump would be telling them (actually he wouldn’t be, because this situation would have never occurred, but you get the point) either they are let out or you get blown to bits.
