The crisis unfolding at the international airport in Kabul has reached horrific levels. Afghan nationals are swarming the airport in an effort to escape the onslaught, as Taliban fighters go door-to-door looking for people who have assisted the United States during the 20 year war.
At least seven people were killed at the airport, many fell to their deaths as they clung to the outside of U.S. C-17 transport planes. Horrific videos have surfaced showing desperation amid the humanitarian crisis. The AFP is reporting:
KABUL – […] Residents raced to Kabul’s international airport, where the “civilian side” was closed until further notice, according to Afghanistan’s Civil Aviation Authority. The U.S. military and other Western forces continued to organize evacuations.
Videos circulating on social media showed hundreds of people running across the tarmac as U.S. troops fired warning shots in the air. One showed a crowd pushing and shoving its way up a staircase, trying to board a plane, with some people hanging off the railings.
In another video, hundreds of people could be seen running alongside a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane as it moved down a runway. Some clung to the side of the jet just before takeoff. Another video showed several falling through the air as the airplane rapidly gained altitude over the city.
Senior military officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing operation, told The Associated Press that the chaos left seven dead, including several who fell from the flight. (read more)

Insurrection! Send the Capital Police to restore order. Fanone can wear his uniform again, I want to see him cry again once he gets surrounded.
As bad as our Generals are at being Generals, they would make even worse parents.
Listen up kids.
In case of some kind of disaster: hurricane, tornadoes, fire, Zombie Apocalypse, etc., our family will need an evacuation plan.
So this is the brilliant evacuation plan your mother and I have come up with – If and when we ever need an evacuation plan, we will come up with an evacuation plan..
They are the Washington Generals.
This group of ass*ole military leadership coming out of the service academies in the modern age are worse than the Detroit Lions coaching staff.
So please, for the love of God, stop putting the Army Navy football game on a pedestal.
Biden. Nero without the fiddle. What a sick, cruel joke the stolen election has begat.
Be sure to tell everyone every dumbass that voted for Biden for “normality”, that THIS IS THEIR FAULT.
THEY VOTED FOR THIS SCHITTSHOW.
Take notice of every car with a Biden sticker and every house with a Biden poster.
We need to know where the enemy lives and what they drive.
Remember that it was barry who purged the Officer ranks of those Qualified with combat experience.
Clinton got that stone rolling. Purged over 5k … Onigg was just mop up
Why didn’t Vind man and the other peach mint whistle blowers give a heads up cuz national security?
Vindman was busy eating donuts
Because they are loyal to their “mother (f-ing) country” and don’t give a f about mine, the USA, except as a fat corpse they can feast on.
US intelligence sources? They are in lockstep with the Biden regime, there’s no gap there.
They are air gapped.
CYA
Just MY first thought.
Wow. experts fleeing the sinking ship. deja Vu all over again.. Remember the WMD? there are two setof report. One with WMD and other NO WMD.
Resign, please.
I thought the Armed Forces and (not so) Intelligent Agencies were busy with their Number 1 Priority of hunting down American White Supremists, silencing Doubters of Government Propaganda, and rounding up subversives who don’t want their DNA spliced with some altered DNA vaccine.
The USA has, in less than 1 generation, fallen from the top of the heap to a dangerous dirt nap. Selling internal division, pliable morality and paper values.
Use Afghanistan as the blueprint of what is coming on the Homefront. Slowly, slowly, then so fast it snaps your neck.
You put it all on the table. I agree!
They are Commie Dems or worse. I don’t believe anything coming from the American IC.
Or maybe they were incorrect and are now in CYA mode.
How are they going to get our military out of there?
Maybe that white supremacist military purge has something to do with it?
They were sent there on purpose? Trump supporters?
I am wondering that and now he is even sending more there.
We know FOR SURE the woke generals were looking for Trump supporters in the military. They probably found them and have a list.
Sounds like Alex Jones stuff, I know, but at least doesn’t sound like CNN. So it may sound crazy but that’s because we live in crazy times. The reality is crazy.
It sounds really crazy, but wasn’t it the marines who recently refused to force their troops to take the shot?
I read 5000 of our most precious sons and daughters.
PLUS another 1,000. I hate that jackass for this.
Welp, I remember the horrible Saigon evacuation, and it put our country off war, rightly so. Then, the globalist neocon Bush “vanquished” the reticence we held for foreign war, by starting war in Panama and in the Persian Gulf. War became fun again, according to the neocons. So in coming years, we buried ourselves in wars everywhere, and we had the likes of Madeliene Albright lamenting the fact that she couldn’t use the military as her playtoy around the globe, for every NWO scheme she had. Obama clinched it with personal declarations of war on Libya and Syria, ignoring the Constitution, and McConnell and his paymasters whooped with glee.
Today, we have come full circle. We’re back in Saigon, 46 years ago. War is a horrible drain. You go to war to destroy a threatening enemy, not fulfill a neocon globalist wetdream.
Yet, another domino falls
Perhaps the ChiComs will be better world policemen.
Well, they’ll certainly be more, how do you say, “effective” at the world police shtick.
Putin is howling with laughter – and rightly so.
What is not funny is all of the dead and maimed that is the legacy of the US military. In Iraq and in Afghanistan. I’m sick to death of the military worship started off by Bush and Schwartzkopf, continued by Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump. Remember how proud he was dropping that horrible bomb?
Maybe we will be thanking Biden, years form now, for returning this military to its proper place in the minds of Americans (at least).
Leave Trump out of your equation. He didn’t start any wars.
All orchestrated by the hook-nosed filth in the photos w the president.
This one with the coded “white Xmas” song & the chaos that ensued as the SVA got angry that the Americans are abandoning them so they surrounded the airport to block all traffic, thus Chinooking to embassy grounds was the only way in/out…?
It’s tragic what’s happening but even more tragic will be if the same people who caused all of this stay in power.
I pray that our soldiers will take over the gov and send these hippies(pentagon included) running for their lives.
This is a good opportunity to get rid of the commies.
And who from the military will take over General Milley or SEc. Austin.. that is not reassuring..
This is not your father’s military! I’m afraid the Marxist left has taken over all our major institutions including our military!
It’s the ONLY reason they give a shit about our “institutions” …
To paraphrase the Clinton Admin. … it’s OUR military now.
The good soldiers have been sent to Afghanistan.
The military is part of the rot. That people on the right still refuse to see this is sad.
Reminds me a lot of 6 Jan 2021, when the same people abandoned Americans who came to peacefully protest the theft of America.
I pray for peace for all of us.
Thread title can be tweaked from Afgans to Afghans for searchability
Moral of the story is the US govt cannot be trusted by anyone…foreign or domestic. Not one single word.
They have zero credibility world wide. They are the biggest joke ever.
The whole world is watching and making their plans accordingly.
Take your vaccine!!
Exactly!
The Biden shit show is just getting started.
.
And have you heard? They are going to awaken him from his ‘surgery-induced slumber’ right at 3:oopm in order to freshen him up a bit, change his diaper, and prop him in front of his teleprompter so that he can address the situation . . .
What’s the over-under for how many times he speaks of the “Former Administrations Plans”?
.
I am betting that 3/5 of his address is incoherent . . .
The only coherent part will be his blaming his predecessor the problem…
.
He’ll say it 5 times, and only two of those times will his message be underwhelming . . .
And to wake him in time to apply the “vision” contact lenses, which make the blue eyes go almost black.
.
The ‘black pupils’ is the AI machine in his stead . . .
What will be left of us if this continues to 2024?
For some reason … I’ve always thought I’d somehow experience the End Times. It appears as though “the thief in the night” … just showed up
Matthew 24:42-44
“Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man [Jesus] is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
Our troops may be in the process of being abandoned. Where will the new troops land? On a runway covered with Afghans?
I’m not sure a landing C-47 would even notice the bodies under its wheels …
They are paratroopers. They can jump in, but they can not jump out
Never let a crisis go to waste, #121,981,321
Blame Trump – only on days ending in ‘y’
Provoke former military to speak up – label them as extremists, increase surveillance, repeat calls for gun “regulation”
Decline in enlistment – weaken American defense
Welcome a flood of “refugees” via airplane transports – let terrorists disperse around the country and go into hiding
What, oh what, do they have in store?
Here are the WH Afghanistan talking points Pelosi’s office just sent around. They are not good:
“The Administration knew that there was a distinct possibility that Kabul would fall to the Taliban. It was not an inevitability. It was a possibility.”
Richard Grenell@RichardGrenell
·
America First means demanding our allies pay their fair share and meet their obligations.
Why does the Biden White House talking points dismiss the Trump/NATO agreement to have 5,000 @nato
troops along side the 2,500 American troops?
pelosi covering her @**
So…that was the meeting Pelosi was attending…the planning of the fall of Afghanistan…instead of going to the Obama Birthday Bash eh?
I saw photos of her on Martha’s Vineyard—- they claimed Nancy was part of the cut list.
Obama had just 600 of his closest friends.
Suddenly, the WH refuses to release Biden visitor’s log while in Delaware.
.
It’s the same (picture) occasion . . .
I suspect that Nancy is being given the boot – retiring soon. Biden is out for medical
reasons; Kamala becomes president and then who will the speaker be? One of Obama’s
choosing, no matter which party wins in 2022.
Damn.
Well,…. call me captain obvious…. but why were U.S. military posting pictures of Afghan regulars months after President Trump told everyone we had negotiated an exit?
Not US Military, he’s in the Royal Marines.
Was the photo posted previously or did it appear for the first time on Aug. 15, 2021 with the executions taking place the prior Thursday?
I do believe the US dollar will fall.
Hyperinflation a possibility.
I truly believe that.
Nahhhh … we can just print more $$$. It’s “new” monetary theory. You sound so old fashioned. /s
Treasury is cutting out Primary Dealers, which means no more bond selling, eventually…Direct money printing, as in Weimar.
Dollar’s value is tied to our credibility.
This is the fault of the US Military.
Milley and a whole lot of others in the woke and witless US Military should be court martialed for Dereliction of Duty for failing to plan for even a remotely proper evacuation, if they even had any plan at all..
They should also be court martialed for so many years of telling congress hyper-gross lies about the reliability and loyalty of the Afghan Army.
Want to take a guess who is responsible for them when they control the centralized promotion system of Flag Officers?
.
And where were they getting this disinformation?
From the Afghani ‘friendliest’ that they want to export here for ‘safekeeping’ . . .?
There’s a reason the enlisted men hate the “lifers”.
My fear has shifted from images of the Fall of Saigon to Dien Bien Phu
Odoacre and the fall of Rome…..
The first thing the Taliban is doing after they kill the collaborators is taking weapons from citizens. This always the first step to subjugating a population. I’m sure they don’t want Kabul to turn into Chicago.
OBummer behind all of it? CCP giving orders? Purposefully planned to create massive distraction from audits, Wuhan lab leak, injection disaster, Bidan family scandals? No idea really. But this doesn’t look like a purely ‘organic’ mess.
Prepping Kamala?
If Congress does not begin impeachment proceedings of both POTUS and Vice over this there is nothing that will bring them to the conclusion they need to come to. Worse yet, if these two WERE impeached the real insanity would resume power.
https://twitter.com/CrescentPatriot/status/1426978352670281730?s=20
“concerned” indeed, are you, Nancy? Please back that up with a self-paid-for-trip to the ‘zone’ and protect those ‘concerns’… thanks… knew you would…
Yet our border remains wide open…..and we start bringing in Afghanis by the 10s of thousands.
By “terror threat increasing” he means more Americans are questioning the 2020 election results and the “science” used to justify C-19 mandates.
The terror is this Woke Commie Dem and his like are our military leaders.
No sheet Sherlock!
Code word for we are going to step-up surveillance.
Spy spy spy.
Hopefully that will keep them busy for a while and leave us alone. Like a laser pointer + cat.
Infinitely worse than our abandonment of Vietnam.
Yes, the * of the United States as well as the Vice-* should both resign their posts in shame, and we should re-do the elections instead of letting Pelosi have the spot. They have done more damage to the USA and to her position in the world in eight months than happened in the last fifty. And, as long as they remain in grasp of the positions that they illegitimately seized, there is no end in sight.
The American People must take back control of their own futures – peacefully(!), but very decisively. (Begin by reading a famous “Letter From A Birmingham Jail.”)
I think a FOIA request to learn how well equipped they are now would be appropriate:

Destabilizing the U.S. with “Covid” was key before the planned destabilization of Afghanistan and we will see more countries fall like domino’s now you can bet and Americans will die because of Obama once again.
Extortion 17 and the fake video should be the key to Osama and Hillary yard arm visit.
how can the MSM spin this to ?look like unicorns and cotton candy for Biden
How much is “the big mans” cut for giving Taliban free reign?
He’ll get a share of the ransom we’ll soon be paying to get our thousands of hostages freed.
In dollars or in Opium?

Suggested “light” reading… The Scale of Humiliationby Mark Steyn
The Fall of Kabul
August 15, 2021
column on his website “Steyn Online”
Excellent column by Mark Steyn,
He is right when saying that America is now risks being seen as “harmless as an enemy and treacherous as a friend”.
And many American citizens are beginning to realize this clearly now that we are being treated as criminals and our God given rights as American citizens are taken from us by our own government and given to illegal invaders.
The whole wide world, including America’s citizens needs to consider the American Government now as “treacherous”.
On the BBC YT, @3:00, UNICEF rep has stated that the Taliban has requested they stay in Afghanistan.
Globalist Taliban?
Want their money.
It has started now where many globalist groups will begin to declare the violent, vicious war lords of the Taliban as freedom fighters and Patriots of Afghanistan.
The stories of the Taliban’s rape, torture, murder and violence will be suppressed and America will be portrayed as an evil invading country that had no business being in Afghanistan and any mis-step by American forces or any American at all in the country over the last 20 years will be broadcast and touted like we have raped, tortured, and stolen all of the wonderful treasures this hell hole of a country had.
That is why poor poor poor Afghanistan is in the condition it is in now, it is Americas fault.
And the UN will be there to collect and broadcast all of the lies.

Islamic Jihad hails ‘liberation’ of Afghanistan after Taliban conquestBy AARON BOXERMAN
Palestinian Islamic Jihad congratulates the Taliban on their conquest of Afghanistan, which the Palestinian terror group calls “the liberation of [Afghani] land from the Western and American occupation.”
“It has been the Muslim people which has performed the greatest jihadist heroics against all invaders over the course of their honorable history,” Islamic Jihad says in a statement.
“We pray to God Almighty to grant the Afghan people security, safety, might and peace, and to make them one, as they declare God’s oneness, under the banner of Islam,” the terror group adds.
I should have read on down to you post dogsmaw.
I just put something up about the Taliban bragging about this and how much of the liberal press in the world will go along.
We will see how well this goes over with people who have half a brain.
Allah is not “God.” Please remember and edit accordingly. It’s like calling Satan “God.”
Interesting….For the 1st time ever, Twit is trying to force me to sign up to read comments to posts.
Looks like they’re taking a censorship lesson fr/ Gab.
When the narrative don’t fit, you must make it difficult
I noticed this morning that every time I click on a tweet I get the “better on the app” box, but so far can close and ignore it.
Suspect this is a prelude to not having access without an account.
Good time for those still hanging on to Twitter (and I don’t blame them, Twitter is still far and away the most visible platform to be on) to find a new home.
Difficult, because Telegram, Gab, and Gettr are all competing for the disenfranchised Twitter-ites.
Noticed the same thing today.
One can view the twitter feed but can no longer follow individual threads
when you click on the thread, grab the url at the top and copy/paste into new window
And, just like that, the 2020 election audits are wiped from the news.
You have to wonder at this point, if the thoughts going through those troops sent to Kabul is that they are on a suicide mission with little, to no, hope of getting out of there alive.
There’s a long but excellent documentary called “Last Days in Vietnam.” Towards the end the last American military personnel left in Saigon discuss their feelings as they realize a) they themselves might be left behind and b) that if they do get out, they’ll be leaving behind friends and co-workers who will be condemned as traitors by the NVA. There’s also the perspective of the pilots who realize they can’t rescue everyone.
I strongly recommend this documentary to get sense of what people trapped in Kabul are experiencing, as I imagine there is not much difference in being on a Saigon rooftop and a Kabul tarmac.
I was working for Pan Am in those days, and participated in the event of Saigon.
Two-story high heavy chain link fencing with 5 ft razor wire at the top, completely covered with humans scaling the fence to get in and run for a plane on the tarmac. Getting the station manager out at the last minute.
1000 people on a 747 meant for 450. Guys with heavy canvass jackets with interior slots for gold taels hidden inside.
Getting out thousands of infants whose parents gave them away to take to the US.
Knowing that millions would be slaughtered after we left, last flight out.
Horrible.
I can only imagine the sense of despair, hopelessness and betrayal “keeler”.
The Biden administration has a LOT to answer for as does a lot of people who are responsible for America being in Afghanistan in the first place.
Twenty years, 2 trillion dollars and over 2500 American lives down the drain in no time at all.
But I understand the Embassy in Kabul had a rea nice Pride Month Party last June.
The total number of months that have passed from the time that Saigon was evacuated to the time Kabul was evacuated:
five five five point five. That number will haunt me when I think of this.
Military could have easily done this on Trumps watch a year ago.. Why didn’t they? Seems curious, even if to get Biden out and VP in, the stain is still there on the office, the party, and the country. And especially the upper parts of the military. I don’t think there has been anything this embarrassing in decades. Maybe Vietnam. The first soldier that is killed in this is going to be quite martyred.
Yes, I know we were decades past being there if at all, but I’m sure Trumps ongoing peace efforts and engagement would have had several countries in the region working to become policemen in their backyard.
“Military could have easily done this on Trumps watch a year ago.. Why didn’t they?”
Maybe just to avoid giving Trump the PR victory. They were trying to get him out of office as well.
He threatened the pig trough. Gotta keep feeding the war machine.
Pig Trough!
I was thinking about the photos of the leaders of the military of the Soviet Union during the 1960s a few weeks ago.
How they were all old, stocky guys with grey crew cuts, looking a bit over weight and bulky in their uniforms.
They usually sported lots of medals splayed out across their chests and stomachs.
And I started noticing that a lot of our own military are starting to look the same.
Bulky, jowly, slightly over weight stocky men with grey short hair.
Politburo-like with lots and lots of medals all across their chunky chests.
They are all well fed and well watered in more ways than one.
Because is time consuming to plan a coup against POTUS and that’s all they had time for.
Run little piggies, run…..
Joe and the wokesters will try and blame Trump for their incompetence and the tech oligarchs and LSM will go right along with the next BIG LIE.
They have to use the tech oligarchs because nobody trusts the government anymore….and now nobody trusts big tech.
US strikes deal with the Taliban to “allow” the evacuation to continue
“…what sort of a “deal” was made? We already heard over the weekend that rumors have been circulating about billions of dollars being promised to the Taliban in exchange for “allowing” us to evacuate. And those aren’t random water-cooler musings. Congresswoman Elise Stefanik tried (unsuccessfully) to raise the issue with Nancy Pelosi during a conference call with the Secretary of State yesterday. Is this the “deconfliction mechanism” being discussed? Did we have to bribe our way into getting our people out? Defense Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters today that he would not be discussing any details of the deal that McKenzie. It seems to me that if it was that great of a bargain they would be letting us know.”
https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2021/08/16/us-strikes-deal-with-the-taliban-to-allow-the-evacuation-to-continue-n409225
The deal, I believe, involves not destroying the military equipment left behind by air strikes
Wait until all the “friendly” Afghans who only know tribal warfare are moved to a neighborhood near you…
Probably be Americans who get left behind and become hostages while our great “friends” who weren’t friend enough to bring to the US earlier make it here.
What a sick joke.
Saigon II….SHAME
THREAD—Important context to grasp the gravity of the geopolitical blunder now unfolding: America went to war in Afghanistan after the 9/11 hijackers were awarded U.S. visas by the State Department and then murdered almost 3,000 Americans, felled the Twin Towers & set Pentagon ablaze. The states rationale for staying all these years was “fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here.” No one ever explained why a better solution wasn’t to deny entry to jihadists or their ideological sympathizers around the world.Strangely, many in the foreign policy establishment opposed Pres Trump’s travel bans & visa curbs to keep violent extremists & their supporters from gaining entry to United States—including of course Pres Biden who has terminated those curbs & restrictions on high-risk entry. It’s now an inevitability, after Biden’s staggeringly incompetent exit, that an exodus will try to leave Afghanistan—eventually millions. Most will have never worked for US government or fought the Taliban. Like Syrians, Somalis, many will end up in regional UN refugee camps.The State Department, using Biden’s debacle as pretext, will try to being as many of the UN-selected refugees to the U.S as possible (instead of regional placement. This will persist for decades. Somali resettlement dominated US refugee program decades after black hawk down Because State Dept does not have ideological screen, and because records will be sparse to non-existent, meaningful security checks will be impossible. Once the diaspora is relocated here, chain migration kicks in as opposed to theoretically more rigorous refugee screening.As France has experienced from its own military misadventures, the picture then becomes complex. Some arrivals don’t assimilate. Others hold more extreme beliefs. Some blame host country for what happened to their home. Sometimes 2nd or 3rd generation becomes radicalized. Bottom line: if we are not careful, all we could have to show for 20 years in Afghanistan is a failed terror state, a humanitarian catastrophe, and an immigration policy that has brought the threat of jihadism inside our shores. If we want to safely and effectively assist the *millions* of people likely leaving Afghanistan, the focus must be on regional resettlement—not mass relocation inside the United States.
but, but, but my teacher said diversity = strength. That’s not true?
Afghan was never really a State or a Nation.
It was a collection of tribes who fought each other and had a lose collection of alliances with one another that changes as often as the wind.
The Taliban is now referring to Afghanistan as an “Emirates” or as a collection or group of tribes.
The UAE is the United Arab Emirates, a collection of very small Arab countries which really are tribes but have some how managed to become a “country”.
I wonder how long it will be before this new Emirate is able to scoop up money and free stuff from dumb ass countries, including us.
The thing that sucks is it’s pretty obvious being careful isn’t an option here. This is less an if as opposed to an inevitability at this point.
Well, this didn’t age well:
RONALD REAGAN
40th President of the United States: 1981 ‐ 1989
Message on the Observance of Afghanistan Day
March 21, 1983
https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/message-the-observance-afghanistan-day
Excerpt:
Today, March 21st, is New Years Day in much of the Moslem world. New years, of course, should be an occasion for celebration. But for the Moslem people of Afghanistan, whose country was attacked and is occupied by the Soviet Army, it is a bitter reminder of a national calamity that befell their nation more than 3 years ago. To focus the world’s attention on this crime against an innocent and brave nation, we observe today the second annual Afghanistan Day.
In Afghanistan, tens of thousands of people have been killed, millions have lost their homes and their livelihood. Others have been subjected to torture and other atrocities, and many have been victims of the grisly chemical and biological weapons, including yellow rain—weapons the Soviets have used in violation of solemn international agreements. The consequences of this calamity extend to Pakistan, which has assumed the burden of sheltering and feeding nearly 3 million refugees.
Yet, while we condemn what has happened in Afghanistan, we are not without hope. To watch the courageous Afghan freedom fighters battle modern arsenals with simple hand-held weapons is an inspiration to those who love freedom. Their courage teaches us a great lesson—that there are things in this world worth defending.
To the Afghan people, I say on behalf of all Americans that we admire your heroism, your devotion to freedom, and your relentless struggle against your oppressors.
Hmmmm. Devotion to freedom? Nope. Relentless struggle against oppressors? Nope, unless “oppressors” are American or Soviet.
This was a disgraceful display by United States military leadership. Not the boots on the ground or the junior officers, but leadership. Generals. The ones who are supposed to know how to plan.
Bagram air base should have been the LAST to close. The last American military person turns off the lights at Bagram, gets on a plane, and NO American is left after him.
But no. Bagram was closed in July. American military bugged out and left American citizens and Afghanis to fend for themselves at a civilian airport. Either betrayal was the plan, or they failed to develop a Plan B in the event everything went to hell.
The next ones out the door were the American ambassador and all the embassy personnel, the ones needed to process American citizens and Afghanis. “Shelter in place” was their parting instruction to stranded American citizens as the ambassador and his crew fled over the weekend. In other words, the word from the generals and our State Department to stranded American citizens was “We’re outa here. You’re on your own. Go hide.”
Duty, honor, loyalty, commitment, all just so much bull shit to these people.
Such dishonorable behavior by ANY American should be unthinkable. But the US State Department? The US military? Generals should be court martialed for this … this … there are no words strong enough to describe this abject betrayal of their own countrymen.
Amen!!!
You are so right on about everything, Trapper. Thank you for your post.
This is very typical of what the Biden administration is doing to all of us here in the States by allowing the invasion of diseased illegals over our wide open southern border.
Then they double down on our misery by transporting these invaders to all 50 states.
We come last every single time.
The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, congratulated the Taliban on Monday for their “victory” in returning to power in Afghanistan.
Hamas, which seized power in Gaza in 2007, wished “the Afghan Muslim people and its leadership success in achieving unity, stability and prosperity”.
The end of the US presence in Afghanistan proves “that the resistance of the peoples, foremost of which is our struggling Palestinian people, is destined for victory”, it said.

When you take into consideration………
The Trump Russian Collusion fraud
The Impeachment 1 & 2 fraud
The General Flynn Fraud
The Election fraud
The debacle at the border
And now Afghanistan
So, if we learn next that Ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine were purposely kept from Americans in 2020 and 2021 as a therapuetic treatment and/or that there is more to the story on the jab and those spike proteins than we have been told…….
At that point can we possibly bypass impeachment and go directly to Nuremberg Trials for potential crimes against humanity?
Public executions?
You know what is really sad? They expect us to save them, when they should be saving themselves. These are weak people who are not willing to stand up for their own country. Do you think they would ever stand up for our? Crazy.
Where were the Afghan’s when our Presidential election was stolen?
Where was the Afghan military that we the American taxpayer funded and trained when their own country was being taken over.
2 Trillion dollars spent on these guys and they cut and run and leave the women and children behind.
But of course America and American’s are the bad guys here as usual.
It is very sad TwoLaine.
And I noticed that most of those in the crowd trying to leave were males.
Males running away and leaving the women and children to the hands of the brutal, vicious Taliban.
And this is only the start of the Atrocities that will follow! America Will Never have any credibility again ! The Fault lies with The Democratic Socialist Party leadership who don’t know a Damn thing!
The blood of every dead civilian at Kabul airport is on the hands of President Obama, his Avatar Sock Puppet Joe and their bobble head Generals. In fact, it was premeditated murder, all to generate video clips for the media.
Remember 4 weeks ago the secured US Airbases in Afghanistan, with defended perimeters, were abandoned. That left only the wide open, undefended Kabul Airport as the ONLY point of exit.
Then there is the fact that only operational US and Afghan operated air support flew from those bases. It does not take a military genius to see this was a set up.
