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 The U.S. diplomatic presence in Afghanistan has been withdrawn.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)

Impeachable offense. P O S Commie Dem Regime needs to fall.
Now, with that “victory”, Biden Bolsheviks can full concentrate on destroying the USA
The Communist dems have been very busy with America’s total destruction and they are extremely PROUD of this.
Why aren’t more people outraged about what they have been doing to America for the past decades?
Well actually it is not the communists ALONE who have been destroying America, the RINO Globalists are just as guilty.
They have a deft ability to trip over their and choke on gum at the same time.
Stop him.
All we learn from history is that Democrats learn nothing from history.
They have learned nothing, and forgotten nothing.
All we learn from history is the Democrats are the villains in history. Time we learned this invaluable lesson.
Democrats are mad that you must spell ‘history’ with “his”. …..and that is Sexist….and raaaaaaycist…and homophobic!
Obama- “Muslim call to prayer is one of the prettiest sounds I’ve heard”
I doubt he’s a religious person.
He said that to poke Christians in the eye, when he wasn’t poking other Americans in the eye.
His favorite pastime was to talk smack to irritate and provoke some reaction so he could cast us as bitter-clingers. But that never happened. Americans have a looooong fuse.
It is NOT illegal to have someone on a small-craft boat anchor offshore from his Martha’s Vineyard sea-level mansion to blast the Call to Prayer by loudspeaker. Start before dawn like real muslims! It would be hilarious like the fed-up Swedish guys who rolled their rental van though the elite neighborhoods of Stockholm’s ministers early on a Saturday while blasting the call to prayer on loudspeakers….. and the mansion-owners came out and started cursing them. But the Swedes chided them that THEY were the ones who voted and created policies that increased jihad immigration to their working-class neighborhoods along with the multicultist-enrichment crimes and rapes. “Aaaaaaalllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaahhuuuuuuuuu- AkBAR!……..”
Twenty long years and we never stood up an Afghan military to dedend themselves. TWENTY LONG YEARS!
Their military did run away. Kudos to us, huh?
Way to go Gen Milley. This was his job before coming on board to serve Biden….
Milley will somehow blame Trump and racist Whitey, and then crawl back into his crying closet and suck his thumb.
“Do not call the Embassy.”
As someone who has lived for many years in the 3rd world, this is absolutely ridiculous. The Embassy is THE place Americans go when things get tough. Now they are on their own. It’s Benghazi for the average U.S. Citizen who happens to find themselves in this foreign country.
I thought the withdraw from Vietnam was bad and it was. This is worse and entirely due to Slow Joe incompetence as comment in chief. Unless, maybe he wanted to put US Citizens in Afgan in a FUBAR situation. Not entirely out of the question, given how much Democrats hate the US military.
Maybe we should repay these quislings in kind.
It is exactly like Tehran in Iran in 1978.
Both my Mom and Dad were there.
Iran was a completely a secular country and our ally.
Jimmy Carter let the Mullahs, who had escaped to France, to return.
Today is the result.
My Mom got out just in time, My Dad had to stay in a hotel downtown, where Perot’s guys were kidnapped.
It took a week for Marines to secure the airport. My Father’s plane was the last to leave before the entire American embassy was taken hostage.
Deja Vu all over again.
Biden is nothing but a mouthpiece for the radical left. Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in America anymore.
So terrible!
Let’s hope the Taliban has more compassion than the deep state and instead of holding people hostage like Pelosi’s Capitol fighters, let’s hope those people are allowed to leave.
Most people under fifty can’t tell you anything about Saigon. It is a reference they can not identify with.
understood, TM.
oh, but they have been taught oodles about the noble anti-war protestors of the era and their glorious cause….
time to let the under 50’s find out what those people really caused, and how it actually ended.
this is saigon redux, and they should know why.
once again, political mismanagement of the military will likely cause unnecessary bloodshed.
No flights out and Taliban checkpoints on the way home. Taliban is going to kill them all.
I think it’s a ransom situation
Joke right?
At least the overbooked passengers will pleased that the face mask policies will be enforced…..or they will stone you in the back lavatory.
As History has proven …ie Russia taking over Berlin in 1945…the men will be killed, the women as young as 8 will be raped and later killed and there will be ransom demands on the higher ups.
It’s a horrible situation…Thanks Joe
All you can do is shelter in place and pray to GOD you are rescued. No where to run: Iran to the west/southwest, pakistan to the east/southest. With Kabul in the north gone, these Americans are in dire straits…..
The chaos unleashed is just beginning
They know what’s coming for them. They would be safer if they form cells, disappear into caves and resist.
Any doubt that Hunter is trying to get onto the board of a CCP mining company being created in Kabul?
Soooooo….. they forgot all the free machine guns, ammo, combat boots, radios, camo uniforms, and MREs we bought for them???
Not did they ever snitch on any Talibs in their ranks to our commanders……
Our gov is not much better than the Taliban.
You know?? I believe that if I were in any way part of this disgraced administration, the ONLY reason I’d show up on Monday would be to hand in my resignation…then sneak out the back door. Because there is no honour in those
who stay, not that was any to begin with.
I can’t imagine a whole lot of career bureaucrats disappointed or even caring beyond their pension.
That said, I would ditto this for armed services. What higher purpose is served sacrificing your time and treasure and life for the whims of the elites running this former republic?
I’d say personal honour, character, and love of country. My lovely son served in the Navy. But it is the “elite” (lower case “e”) who have utterly failed in their duty to lead their troops, and to not use them as props for their own advancement. ” Men with chests” is the term that was used, long forgotten. Long long forgotten.
They are men without chests.
Yes indeed Mr Burns. CS Lewis’s descriptive phrase made a deep impression on me when I came across it originally. I’m glad to see someone recognized it . Very powerful I think.
What? And take my chances in the cold hard private sector? You take me for a fool?
I’m unsure whether you are being sarcastic. My long gone Army Surgeon father (Korea…in front of the front lines, as he said)/private practice after, always said that no job was small or insignificant…as long as a person did his best, with professionalism and honour. He wasn’t wrong. Everywhere is cold and hard now. The landscape.for everyone has changed….but innate principles allow one to look in the mirror and to be able to hold the gaze of the face that looks back. This administration’s members, I doubt, could manage that.
Maybe for you but these people are exceedingly corrupt and have no conscience. They have no honor.
I wouldn’t be part of this administration in the first place. And I agree with you on your sentiment. But at some point in their dishonourable lives, this chapter will come back to haunt them. Age brings its own reflections. I’m sure they think their lives are really sweet now…but time is not their friend they’ll discover.
ROTFLMFAO!!!!!
“Leaks” of Hunter Biden’s dirty deals.
“Leaks” of DHS’s honest (?) statements on the border crisis.
Afghanistan disaster emblazoned across news sites.
Deep State is ready to bounce Biden and work their puppetry 24/7 on Kamala any minute now.
But we knew this.
Is it that Team Biden doesn’t want to bow out?
What’s going on here?
Wonder how many Hunter art pieces Putin has at home?
The scary part is we know Deep State politicians from both parties have willingly given up some of our national security secrets to enrich themselves. We will never know the full extent of how far our security and intelligence capabilities have been compromised!
Do you think that the same intelligence officials who said that Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation couldn’t see the Taliban coming ?
OMG! Hilarious!
Interesting that no local
Afghani’s were trained to service aircraft. We have stupid leaders.
Techo Fog’s Substack article on The Afghanistan Collapse:
https://technofog.substack.com/p/the-afghanistan-collapse-americans
This looks like a deliberate disaster. There must have been contingency plans in place for the Afghan Army to defend when the Americans left. But plans can’t work when the American Administration blind-sided everyone and just left without any notice or coordination with the Afghans.
Barry, Soros, et al, have given the country to China.
Purposely inept because it’s a money making scheme on the backs of taxpayers and enlisted servicemen.
I think you may be right. China is reported as likely recognizing the Taliban as the governing body of Afghanistan. I don’t think this is a coincidence. China is no doubt bankrolling and secretly giving arms to them.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/china-recognize-taliban-fall-of-kabul
In Sundance’s assessment of “why the rapid fall”, he left out a very key event…the near Fall of Iraq to ISIS.
The Obama did the exact same thing to Iraq as he did, via his Puppet Biden…withdrew ALL major combat and service support assets when ISIS attacked. The only thing that saved Iraq was:
Obama’s and His Generals underestimated the Kurds and capability of few Loyal Iraqi Army Units.
Obama’s and His Generals under estimated the reaction of the GCC, who see ISIS or Whatever they are called as a direct threat and send “volunteers”.
Obama’s and His Generals did not realize the few US and foreign mercenaries maintaining Iraqi heavy weapons would fulfill their contracts. Iraq had followed the example of the GCC to directly contract their mercenaries.
That is why Iraq was able to hold on and shame the US back into Iraq for the time being.
The Puppet Masters learned their lesson and none of these existed in Afghanistan. That was the purpose of the NATO withdraw and especially the removal of ALL contracted combat and service support contractors from Afghanistan by DoD under Obama and DoD as well as State Department slow rolling any return under President Trump.
Benny on Twitter: “Twitter gives the Taliban a platform as they’re overrunning Afghanistan
but they banned the sitting President of the United States. Remember that.”
Maybe jack Dorsey can put a disclaimer on the tweets that start to roll in as the executions kick into high gear?
some of Dorsey’s pictures look like he’s Taliban…
He might as well be.
But I thought Twitter was working for the government……government tech, don’tcha know.
I call bull sh*t on that.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken rejected parallels being made with the rushed U.S. exit from the U.S. Embassy in Vietnam in 1975, when staff was evacuated by helicopter from the building’s roof. He said the aim in Afghanistan was to target al Qaeda, which had been achieved.
“This is not Saigon,” said Mr. Blinken, speaking to CNN on Sunday. “We went to Afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission, and that mission was to deal with the folks who attacked us on 9/11. And we succeeded in that mission.”
So he’s saying…………………MISSION ACCOMPLISHED???? Where have I heard THAT before?
These people are beyond delusional.
Lots of people are going to die because of Biden
It matters as little to this admin as it did to our Congress in the aftermath of its cutting off military aid to South Vietnam and its eventual collapse. And Biden had a bit part in that too.
Really all over the world at this point.
Can we end this nightmare without a fight here but things seem to be worsening every day.
Schmoe Biden
Bottom center box — Doha, as in the capital of Qatar? Taliban said it’s leaders would be arriving from Qatar soon. Is Biden negotiating with terrorists that Obma released from Gitmo to Qatar, who are now heading to Afghanistan? Some Reports are sprouting up of cash negoiations to allow the US to vacate without issue.
Who is in the blacked-out redacted box?
Why the hell are there any Americans in Afghanistan with weeks of advance notice if this withdrawal debacle?
Was wondering that myself. Some kind of insane virtue signaling that all would be well. Absolutely insane!
That’s the right question. They believed their own hype and lies?
Because in this mess is a self created crisis of which this administration takes advantage to further its goals, I am thinking.
cnn segment this morning showed a pic released by white house…
it was a snapshot of Joe malarkey at camp David in a command room, sitting, by himself, all alone, looking at a panel of screens.
not a single other person in the room.
while it’s tempting to lay all the blame for a complete failure of national security policy at his feet, the reality is:
Biden is a piece of furniture they move around to present some perception he is in command
he isn’t…he never was
he was INSTALLED for a very specific agenda.
and it has little to do with politics.
the corruptors are in command, thus far, unchallenged…and “mostly” anonymous.
when the shit hits all cylinders…you will see the list.
you will know what to do with it
God Bless America
Joe doesn’t even know the difference between a sidewalk and green grass
America America GOD shed your grace and mercy on us in these tragic and fearful times
Build the gallows high!!!
That photo is so utterly pathetic. I believe it signals that they intend to blame the entire disaster on Biden’s incapacity and use the situation to install the vapid communist Veep.
Have been thinking about them for the past couple of days. Can’t even imagine what they’re going through watching this unfold. Another stab at the heart of America and patriotic Americans. Obama and his minions must be absolutely gleeful.
If there are any vets on this thread, G-d bless you all. You did what you were asked to do. And you comported yourselves with honor in a horrific situation. The powers that be have undermined your work and your sacrifice.
Nice Sarah…. absolutely, to all Veterans, THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!!
That is what is most disheartening about this. They now get to see that their cohorts who gave all gave it for nothing. What a slap in their faces and the faces of the families of the fallen.
Joe Biden, birthed a Coward for which there is no cure, no magic pill; this shell of a failure hides from those he says voted for him. Words that fall from his lips have power to throw the young and brave, smarter, better self disciplined then he, at raving lunatics, child raping, slave owners, who yowl like animals, drugged into a mania of religion and ideology. Their greatest aspiration, to rule to rape what they touch.
Biden’s best moment. Save the photos. Post them for eternity so the inept and cowardly are always recognized. An extended time of public mocking must be the reward of President Biden, VP Harris, Gen. Milly, Secty. of State Blinken and the entire Cabinet serving this Coward. Biden, reduced to bartering for your sons lives. And he can’t even speak a sentence clearly. Next, the Taliban throws pigs blood on Biden’s feet and curses him.
I love every one of VSGPDJT’s Mean, Nasty Tweets!!!!!
His tweets were the often the highlight of my day. So refreshing to see someone in politics who knew good from bad, and didn’t waste time coddling the latter, all of whom deserved way worse than mean tweets.
Me three.
I would be lying if I said I am not hoping for military coup in the US right now.
Get rid of the swamp and all enablers. Ahhhh I’m dreaming about it.
It won’t happen, but… it’s nice to dream for a change.
Yes definitely don’t trust American Military leadership. America is under Marxist control.
I would like to see the military leadership being the first ones to go.
And who would be in charge then General Milley? No Thanks.
Unfortunately we were left to pick up the pieces from the stolen election. We are in WW3 with China. This was a coup financed by China. Dominion is owned by China. This isn’t rocket science folks. I heard China also released a mold to attack our potato, corn and pea crops. If that’s true guess what happens to meat supplies and food inflation. We need to drill it into peoples heads that we are in a war and it will only escalate. This occupational regime knows they are losing control. People are questioning the bullshit in mass. Watch as these dangerous buffoons crank up the fear and authoritarianism in September and October. I believe Afghanistan debacle is only the beginning.
Nice phuck up, Biden.?
Joe relaxes while being spoon fed his afternoon pudding. It’s almost 4:00 and time for Wapner.
Sort of a repeat from last nights thread.
I’m old enough to remember the Yemen debacle.
Maybe BobbleJoe is so smart that he gave the Russians the pipeline so that in a repeat performance they would rescue American citizens here as well.
The Obama doctrine 2.0
the “failure” in Afghanistan began from say one.
the Taliban and all other terror groups that operate in that region do so through the commodity called opium poppies
the us and all other interested allies refused to eradicate that massive 40 billion dollar a year drug industry (it’s probably more than an that)..
the DOD recognized the source of power to the terror groups and still did nothing to go after it.
our foreign policy in Afghanistan was always going to be a failure as a consequence of this obvious strategic mistake.
the question then becomes:
WHY would the us foreign policy not include eradicating the heroin trade in Afghanistan?
now let’s examine this through a different lens, half the globe away:
why would the CURRENT administration not take aggressive counter drug operations along the border with military power to enforce it?
when you sniff around, you will find that Washington DC has a drug problem…the type that creates enormous wealth.
We are all much less safe since the establishment overthrew our vote and installed this imposter as head at the bequest of the CCP. Time to take our country back?
This entire administration, sets new standards of incompetence on a daily basis. Blinken is not qualified to run an ice cream stand, and can’t even fake being a fake Secretary of State. He was made to look like a complete imbecile, in talks with Chinese officials. And now with Afghanistan, you can see the look of utter confusion and cluelessness on his face. Meanwhile the potted plant is on vacation. This administration wouldn’t be able
to govern Haiti, even that that would be beyond their capabilities.
The Blinkening.
Like Nero as Rome burned Soy-boi Blinken is busy plucking his guitar while Afghanistan falls.
IMO, this was not a mistake. I feel sure the American commanders knew and advised this would happen quickly without air support. Who would want it to happen this way, against the orders of our military? Obama, of course. Now the Muslims are in control again. Something he wanted a long time ago. He doesn’t get blamed. Hiden’ Biden does. And he would never answer questions from the media- the few members that would actually ask a question like this.
Yes, there is little doubt where Obama’s allegiance lies.
Why is it I seem to find lines from classic movies for situations like this. Land war in Asia?
and there it is..
I hope we booby-trapped the government palaces and spiked Kabul’s water supply with estrogen. I guess that Vietnam-era tactic of having widespread FOBs and then sending out undermanned patrols who then lose 1-3 guys each outing to a single zealot sniper who hopes to die based on a group-sex paradise sex fantasy really did not work out. Or training illiterate afghans whom you could not tell if were “loyal” or taliban who run at the first sign of battle for 20 years did not work out either. A co-worker’s husband about 8 years ago was commanded by his Marine command to “dine” with a local Afghan checkpoint commanding colonel at their camp and was shot to death while seated at the table along with 2 other Marines by the same colonel who then fled into the mountains never to be seen again. Of course our multiple commanders from Petraeus to McCrystal and Dunford and McKeirnan and Jones bent over backwards to kiss islamic butt if a single soldier (falsely) was accused of mis-handling a single koran (which most of the populace could not read one). Of course, it would have been nice to emphasize the Bible in whatever outreach literacy classes we did set up. It would have been wise to bury deep under Kabul and Khandar a nice sized nuke that could be detonated from the US via satellite so as to use it if the reconquering Talibs go all cocky….. then blame Pakistan for smuggling in nukes from their poorly-guarded arsenal.
No our gov would only do those things to the American people whom they despise.
Sad…
Army recruiters must be quitting in droves. How are those poor souls supposed to do their job anymore?
That is also part of the plan.
Yes Obama HATES our military. That’s why they were forced to go woke. Total humiliation and demoralization.
Who need army recruiters when you have pantifa-blm?
We need militia recruiters standing in front of the recruiting offices, lol.
Since Kabul has fallen, where are the 5,000 U.S. Troops Joe inc. sent ?
I think in… Kwait?
Kabul Has Fallen, Afghan President Ghani Flees, U.S. Embassy Being Evacuated, Airport Under Siege, Biden on VacationWashington DC Has Fallen, Fraud President Biden Flees, Congress Being Evacuated, Pentagon Under Siege, Trump Returns To Finish His Second Term.
from your lips to God’s ears
If it were only true…
The POTUS is no where to be heard ftom
He has made a few statements:
Posted on Telegram:
AUGUST 15, 2021
Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
What Joe Biden has done with Afghanistan is legendary. It will go down as one of the greatest defeats in American history!

It was posted on the Presidential Thread.
He also made a very critical statement last night.
If DoD wants enlistment numbers to plummet, then this is the way to do it. Who wants to join a woke military with failed leaders? It’s as if we have imposter syndrome and aren’t actually a superpower – absurd, I know.
Good, it will make things easier for us. This can’t go on very long with this rapid economic decline. The country will go bankrupt soon if this continues.
From Daily Mail comments section:
“I could sure use some mean tweets, two dollar gas and relative peace in the Middle East and Afghanistan right about now.”
I believe that was Lauren Boebert’s tweet.
Dementia told them to burn their American flags at the embassy. Didn’t hear anything about this one
U.S. Embassy Kabul
@USEmbassyKabul
The month of June is recognized as (LGBTI) Pride Month. The United States respects the dignity & equality of LGBTI people & celebrates their contributions to the society. We remain committed to supporting civil rights of minorities, including LGBTI persons. #Pride2021 #PrideMonth
I hope the Ambassador remembered to grab the LGBTI Pride Flag, before he closed the Embassy.
I don’t. One may infer you meant this in jest?
There also is the complicating vision of how the Taliban Warfighters coming out of their caves are going to adapt to taking over , and residing in our abandoned military bases. Will they adhere to the respect of our “gender neutral mens/ladies/ trans gender bathrooms? Will they understand our instuctional rules and signs respecting non-descrimination and inclusive racial and gender military guidelines recently ordered by our Pentagon. Can they realize these changes that a REAL army must follow………..or will they just laugh as they drink our beer.?
There’s a good chance they’ll ban their fighters from wearing red pumps.
A dark day.
Our president posted his party’s ideology over Afghanistan soil. Swell. LGBTI’s to the front lines against tens of thousands who pledged to slaughter and desecrate LGBTI’s. Obama’s immaturity flaunting his personal morals. He established that new *norm* during his presidential term. (SEE – D’Sousa’s film: “The Trump Card”, live interview with Larry telling D’Sousa the details of his relationship with Obama; you decide)
“Biden administration spent 6 months flying LGBTQ flags at embassies, hiring diversity officers & lecturing us on our sins. Now, Taliban flags flying in Kabul & Afghan women & kids will be enslaved by medieval tyrants. Virtue signaling doesn’t defeat evil. Only brave people can.”
