U.S. Races To Evacuate Thousands From Afghanistan
WAS THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY TOTALLY ASLEEP WHEN THE TALIBAN STARTED TAKING OVER EVERY PROVINCE AS ALL THESE PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT AT LEAST A WEEK AGO!!!
@ZoomerX24 I wonder why Chinese people are mandated to wear masks and take vaccines? Other than being communist. Probably cuz they need their military in top physical condition to man all those new ships. No one can be spreading disease.
What, are you deaf? The Intel community WAS WARNING THE HEAD MORON AND HIS FLYING CIRCUS CLOWNS FOR MONTHS!!
LONG LIVE FREEDOM! LONG LIVE ISRAEL !!!
The Taliban are holding Press Conferences and Taking all Questions.
That being said.
Why ISN’T Our President Joe Biden?
“I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
THE BUCK STOP’S WITH ME!”
@Rebel W.A.C. if only 3,000 US soldiers kept the taliban from taking over than I think we should’ve stayed.
This is so dumb.
The problem isn’t getting out, the problem was getting in.
Everyone knew this.
Like most wars, the lies happen during the war, about the real situation on the ground.
Feed the machine-
obama bin bidens america.
the taliban air force. only in obidens america
Fully supported by then Sen. Biden, your senile president
You can exit without the the loss of life and putting my brother in arms at risk, along with all of our countrymen.
My father was in the Korean conflict and our “government” wouldn’t even honor their promise to help pay for my mother’s long term care. They denied my application. So business as usual
@Ma Baker
Please pick up your burka out of the Kamala Harris Designer line.
SO YOUR DAD IS 70 YEARS OLD????
@Ma Baker YES IT IS!!!!!!! LISTEN TO YOUR GOVERNMENT!!!!!! LOL , NOW APLLY THAT TO FORCED VACCINES.
@Ma Baker YOU ARE SPARE PARTS.
@mike brigs “FORCED VACCINES”??
The blame game might as well include the apathetic complacent American public which permitted the government to wage 20 years of war in Afghanistan !!!
If you think the national reaction to Biden’s Afghanistan is bad… wait until the public realizes he did not win Arizona.
@Mona Lisa Nah, we voted that fool out. Now he stews in Florida.
The war on “terror”
@Deborah Freedman oh sorry I guess you didn’t know we have another president now, because he is too busy shuffling away from the press and taking naps.
The public is being played by the weapons contractors and their well oiled lobbying machine.
A lot of these folks need to ask themselves why the Afghan military up and ran.
Maybe because they already lost many soldiers? Maybe because they weren’t paid? Maybe because their leader up and left with all the money? They were deserted.
@Yanski Arbuckle putting a piece of paper on your face does nothing. Stop the spread by not allowing people with not only COVID but other dieases also illegally into our borders.
They ran because they didn’t even have bullets or enough food because of the corrupt government. The Taliban offered them cash to put down their weapons.
Ask yourself, why did they fight for 20 years and lose tens of thousands of lives then just stop fighting? Simple. No ammo, air support, money, or supplies.
@Yanski Arbuckle don’t try to provide facts about the pitfalls of big government to snowflakes. They rarely grasp the dangers until it directly affects them.
Until then they will give up their religion, values, family, education principles, safety, gender, and any liberty that’s directed by the Party.
Just look at every major city. Cesspools. Yet they continue to follow the Party guidelines.
For all these people it’s just going to build resentment towards the US BE WARNED⚠️
Thanks Crazy Joe
Liberalism causes death, its just a fact.
Trump’s Muslim ban and shutting down Obama’s Afghanistan Visa program for people who helped the USA is the reason there is resentment to the USA.
The Afghan government stole with both hands then ran away. The Afghan military ran away. Yet WE are the ones being called unreliable!
Exactly, good for you – nothing more need be said.
Biden cut off their supplies airstrikes promised..he pulled our Soldiers out in the Middle of Night
Same thing happened in Laos, the hmong secret war.
Why does the media press with these interviews asking these primitive/ rhetorical questions
Saigon Airlift 2021. It’s heartbreaking to think of the helpful locals we will leave behind to be “accidental casualties” of the Taliban.
The UK has pledged to take 20,000 Afghans.
Wow. They take less than 1% and everyone expects the US to take 10 million?? Fkn idiots.
It’s crazy to expect a government, that can’t buy gloves and gowns last year to look after its own citizens, to run a foreign country properly and exit from it in orderly fashion.
Our troops need to clear the airport of Taliban preventing people leaving.
We cannot leave them there to be slaughtered Bush already screwed so many of them after the Gulf War and they all got slaughtered,,, so come on Biden, we expected this from Trump not you*!!
Biden fully supported the war. Biden’s failed exit strategy left thousands of Afghanis in peril and gave the Taliban $billions in US taxpayer funded military weapons. I expect Omar the Horrible to demand the US send advisors to teach the Taliban how to use some of the more sophisticated weaponry.
Isn’t it about time that we knew specifically how many flights per day, and of what size aircraft? Why would any of that need to be kept secret?
Time for Afghanistan to take responsibility for their own nation & the well-being of its ppl? no more excuses & no more babysitting🤷🏻♀️
We need to be furious with the Afghan Army for not wanting to fight for their own country.
Biden have washed his hands over the whole thing. Biden doesn’t even talk about it anymore. Biden is back to COVID & Shutdown talk.
0:17 15.000 us citizens are still left stranded in afghanistan. Imagine the outrage from msnbc if trump was the president. Calling Biden’s administration incompetent is an understatement.
