Throughout the night and today U.S. personnel were evacuated from the embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. The U.S. flag has been removed. The airport in Kabul is no longer safe and flights have been suspended. Afghanistan President Ghani has fled the country. The Taliban are on the streets of Kabul as fighting around the airport continues.
U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken is a stuttering and stammering mess as he appears on television attempting to obfuscate the complete FUBAR that is unfolding. Joe Biden is being kept hidden in his bunker. U.S. personnel who did not make it to the airport have been told to shelter in place and await rescue. Some reports of negotiations with Taliban leadership for safe passage for Americans. The embassy is being abandoned.
Why the rapid collapse? “In the wake of President Biden’s withdrawal decision, the U.S. pulled its air support, intelligence and contractors servicing Afghanistan’s planes and helicopters. That meant the Afghan military simply couldn’t operate anymore. The same happened with another failed American effort, the South Vietnamese army in the 1970s, said retired Lt. Gen. Daniel Bolger, who commanded the U.S.-led coalition’s mission to train Afghan forces in 2011-2013.” (WSJ link)
Now it is a mad scramble to protect the remaining Americans and evacuate everything. The U.S. diplomatic presence in Afghanistan has been withdrawn. Remaining U.S. personnel are receiving the following instructions from the State Dept.:
An official security alert was issued by the US government after shots were fired at the airport, sparking fears American jets could be shot down as they try to flee the country, which the Taliban have vowed to rename the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. (read more)

The thing I keep in mind when watching this play out is that the Taliban are doctrinaires, do not think outside of their ideology, are openly hostile to and will gladly destroy anyone who does not agree with them and follow no rules other than their own . . . In other words, they have the exact same mentality as the ideologues running the Biden Regime.
Here might be a good place to drop this. This man is aware and prepared. Watch with sound off (horrible ‘music’ noise in background). Mods please remove if offensive. Thank you.
A highly trained war fighter. Now, I have a question: what good is that when the government he works for is complete sh*t?
FBI task force looking for anything , to justify spying for the last 8 months under Joe…
state legislators need to be exhausted.
1) What government does he work for, oh Great Carnack?
2) Are you as trained as he, or is the kid firing the MP5A3 (or MP5K, can’t tell from avatar) more trained than you?
Awesome. I just hope those guys are on our side. I wish I had the time (and ammo) to train like that. That video is a good motivator.
I have been playing this all day- Billy Joel really nailed it:
While thousands pray to be rescued! This is what Piglosi has on her mind. TOTALLY DISCONNECTED!
…“Any political settlement that the Afghans pursue to avert bloodshed must include having women at the table. The fate of women and girls in Afghanistan is critical to the future of Afghanistan….”
…“Once again, I want to acknowledge the clarity of purpose of President Biden’s statement and the wisdom of his actions….”

I bet the Taliban read that tweet and immediately convened their cabinet to consider it. Quaking in their boots right now, I bet.
Bidens statement and actions are clear as mud, and Piglosi’s statement regarding the Taliban and women is SO “tone deaf”, or pandering to women its absurd.
Are these people really THAT Stupid, tone deaf and un-self aware, or is it that they are so contemptuous of the American people, that they conflate “giving a statement” or doing a soundbite, with actually DOING something like,….
Oh, I don’t know,…GOVERNING
My god. When is Gandolf going to crack the mad stewart of Gondor over the head and take charge?
Should’ve burned down the embassy before the Taliban does and humiliates us even more than JoeBama et al already has.
Kind of sad we let someone of the caliber of Joe Biden do this, makes one wonder what the blood and treasure were for. Same same Saigon ’75
Retweeted by Posobiec.
An opportunity for JoeBama et al to screw things up even more than they already have.
This will end badly.
Screw-up in process. Speaking o/b/o the occupant resident who is currently on vacation (and can’t speak).
Not going on the record tonight?
They are busy trying to figure out they can blame this predictable preventable fiasco on President Trump.
Then they will send out the early morning press releases to all of the fake news corporations.
Expect that to be all you hear tomorrow, everywhere, this was President Trump’s plan, and the gullibles will swallow it whole.
Sending in 6,000 troops? Are you kidding me?
WTH!
Fck. What! Are they gonna sacrifice 6000 troops? And you just left the taliban air spaced missile? Over the top incompetence generals.
Leftist don’t do war, well.
They have contempt for the military, and contempt for everything military, including time tested military maxims;
ALWAYS have a plan “B”.
Never underestinate the enemy.
No war plan survives first contact with the enemy.
Etc. Blinken is now blaming this clusterfluck on the Afghan army “folding” so quickly.
Take away their support, and they are sitting ducks, of COARSE they folded.
U.S. troops, with no support would be over run just as quickly.
Maybe this will wake up a few more “useful idiots”, but leftists have long shown their contempt of all things military, and the feeble p.p. attempt to say “We protest the POLICIES, but support the troops” was exposed for the lie it was, during the 2016 Democratic convention.
Reports of negotiationto get Americans out. Translation: $$$$. Is it a coincidence that this happens less than a year after traitor Biden relaxed sanctions against Iran? Yet again, we are paying for the brotherhood’s weaponry that is used to attack us.
This is absolutely disgusting to watch.
well last interaction with the Taliban under Democrat control was Obama, and he traded 1 American Traitor for 5 Taliban Generals.
this supporting the Taliban is standard.
Yep. Leaving them in limbo until the pallets of cash are delivered in the dead of night.
I wonder if Hunter collects a 10% cut on any hostage money paid out?
Comment deleted and commenter banned. The fact that you thought this kind of crap belonged on the pages of the Treehouse speaks volumes about your own personal character.
A disgusting comment. And you know she’s a Biden voter because she lives 12,000 miles away from the US? Women aren’t executed in war unless they’re enemy combatants. I can’t read Spanish but this woman wasn’t a combatant.
Everyone here knows who are the ones who should get a comeuppance, and it is not this victim of evil.
I’ll bet she’s got a Pink Pussy hat, ears and all, under that abaya. One thing is sure her black-clad AntiFa pals didn’t “have her back”, they certainly didn’t have the top of her head either, they can now, if they’re quick about it and get a sponge. Where’s their calls for a “Street-medic!”?
I shed not a tear, she lives in a lawless place among savages, a nation awash in U.S. taxpayer-funded firearms, and she failed to arm herself thinking Biden would save her, the joke’s on her.
Just remember this clip when Biden or Harris say they want your guns.
Just think if that woman had even a PPK how different this scene might be.
Comment and commenter deleted….
Boy, when a prog loses Jake Tapper you know he’s screwed the pooch.
Every Dem who voted for the occupant resident can step up to the plate. I didn’t vote for this. Sorry.
We watched this first hand (from LSS) in the ’90s, when it was the Bosnians and Somalians being dumped by the hundreds in eastern ND and western MN….
This Chicom occupier has already allowed a million criminal illegal aliens to flood into our country. Foreign invasion = Treason. We’ve had illegals and Third World shoved down our throats since 1965. Too much Treason and no pushback. I’m waiting for a real leader to emerge and absorb nat guard into state militia. Or maybe a submarine commander or some other “oath keeper” (and I use that term very loosely these days) to go rouge. Hell, I would even take that rouge general from Dr. Strangelove at this point. I would drop everything and join in a heartbeat. Sick and tired of watching these globalist sellouts destroy my country. How much more of this shit do we have to take? Treason in our face and our noses rubbed in it every day.
The sentiments of so many of us. Shocking watching Saigon. Numb and boiling angry watching Kabul. Sadness for those Biden left behind to be executed. Inhumane. Lift means nothing to him/them.
It is 5:40 am Monday in Kabul. The sun just came up.
Trump Back Better
Well, there you have it. Much as I despise Joe Biden I’m not one to blame him for everything but clearly he owns this lock, stock, and barrel. He ENGINEERED this collapse.
Why the rapid collapse? “In the wake of President Biden’s withdrawal decision, the U.S. pulled its air support, intelligence and contractors servicing Afghanistan’s planes and helicopters. That meant the Afghan military simply couldn’t operate anymore. The same happened with another failed American effort, the South Vietnamese army in the 1970s, said retired Lt. Gen. Daniel Bolger, who commanded the U.S.-led coalition’s mission to train Afghan forces in 2011-2013.” (WSJ link)
The buck stop at pedo’s doorstep.
Fifteen years too long.
So the United States trained and armed with modern equipment the Afghan Army with over 300,000 combat troops and who knows how many support troops. Then there is the Afghan Air Force, what’s going on there?
The Afghan Military has essentially surrendered, embraced and joined the 80,000 Taliban troops. Sounds like we’ve been had. The Taliban is now something like the 15th largest Army in the World
So we will have a false flag (or real) event very soon because of our open borders and a new terrorist state in the world. So the communist regime in Washington will proceed to take away our guns. We’ll have to lockdown again because of Covid, thereby making it easier to take away the guns. Is that when the real fun begins? I’m sick of all of this crap. I want to live in a free country that has good values, doesn’t destroy itself with immigration from people who do NOT deserve to live here.
Bingo!
This is NOT OVER. Biden is sending 6,000 American troops to secure the Kabul airport. Those 6,000 can be slaughtered by a Taliban with an estimated 60,000 fighters. The airport will be surrounded. We can expect the U.S. military will have to airlift tanks and artillery into the airport to keep the airport from being overrun. Remember, the Taliban have suffered almost NO CASUALTIES ! We may have to airlift thousands of more troops to reinforce those already there. Every landing American military aircraft is a sitting duck for Taliban surface-to-air rockets.
We could easily lose more Americans holding that one airport than we lost in the previous 20 years.
To keep that from happening, we may have to escalate our boots on the ground to unheard of previous numbers there.
The Taliban have an easy task to overrun the airport. America is facing a slaughterhouse to hold it.
Once our military has enormous resources deployed in that one small area, HOW DO WE EVER GET OUR SOLDIERS OUT?
I don’t think we have seen the worst yet.
10k hostages and 6k more coming. No $hit.
Excuse me but f–k Afkrapistan. Most Americans can’t find it on a map and could careless about it when our country is rapidly falling apart. Maybe I care in the abstract… I only care about my country at this point. There is no one that will save us when SHTF, and it will if this anti-American Chicom horror show continues much longer.
? for the girls and women.
I pray tonight. ?
As do I. The younger women have no idea what is coming… none. They’ll have heard the stories, but won’t have any idea how drastically their lives will change for the worse. They’re now essentially property, and have NO rights.
God help them.

? For all our dead and maimed service men and women, for all the families who carried hardship all these years, I cry and pray tonight. ???
And where is G. W. Bush tonight with his comment?
I think they may have known what they were getting into and what would happen.
Obama, Merkel, and other globalists have used chaos and death to cause refuge flows into Europe and the USA in hopes of destabilizing and destroying western countries. Free and united people/countries of course are a threat to the goal of global communism and they want to bring them down and rebuild from the ashes.
Expect the regime to start importing Muslim Afganis in mass. They consider Minneapolis and Dearborn Michigan highly successful.

20 years to train, remake, and civilize afghan. 20 minutes to retake it. I’m left wondering just what did we do there that no one had the training or ba…s to keep their own.
And how many trillions as our infrastructure falls apart…
I think under the circumstances, Joe’s best recovery line would be,
“they (Kabul) didn’t pay up”
The real question is, what is it they are really up to while they have us all looking at Afghanistan? The bigger the head fake, the bigger the scam. Something else is afoot. Take that to the bank.
ALL intentional. This is to justify handing Afghanistan over to CCP control and to make them look like heroes in the process. Forget about how badly they treat Muslims. This has been about gifting Afghanistan to China in repayment for their role in the 2020 election.
We are likely to have hundreds and possibly thousands of American hostages in the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan by the end of the month. In just six months this shuffling carcass of dementia and ineptitude has leapfrogged over Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan and Jimmy Carter to presidential disgrace and infamy. The Dotard is now headed for world-class failure status with the likes of Caligula, King John of England, Louis XVI of France and Tsar Nicholas II.
