The only thing a left winger enjoys better than abandoning a fellow countryman is stabbing him in the back. Leftists are horrid creatures

Exactly how in the frick are we supposed to have all our people out within the next two weeks if we cannot even provide security for our citizens to even get to the fricking airport? And to answer your stupid fricking question, No you are not supposed to be angry about this, you should be enraged and fricking disgusted with such blatant incompetence.

So are yall wanting the military to go door to door countrywide and track people down and bring them to Kabul or the airport? That ship sailed days to weeks ago.

Just trying to understand what you all are expecting to be done at this point. Given all the failures to happen thus far, I don't understand the additional outrage over stating that we can't guarantee military assistance after our deadline to pull out our forces.

The Pentagon has already said they expect to be capable of 5,000-9,000 evacuations per day now that the airport is under control.


But they can’t get our citizens to the airport, you fricking retard. I’m not playing this game. Right now on the table is a possibility that more Americans will lose their lives to this evacuation than 9/11 and the war combined, so shut the frick up. This is some serious shite, and we’re in no mood for these bullshite games.

Are you always an emotional puddle? Or is it just China and (now, apparently) Afghanistan that does it to you?

STFU! You are an absolute imbecile. The Pentagon just said the United States military HAS NO PLANS TO HELP AMERICANS that are stuck outside the airport perimeter get to safety. The Pentagon also just said their mission IS NOT EQUIPPED OR READY for that.


Military shouldn't even really be there right now, that's the elephant in the room.

The military has no plans because the military was ordered by the President to GTFO.

I am disgusting at the entire situation. This specific directive doesn't get my hackles any more raised though.

They have said pretty much the same thing for days. There is no help for anyone outside of the airport, and its been that way since Saturday.

There’s 11,000 Americans left in addition to the 10’s of thousands of afghani translators and their families…2 weeks isn’t enough time. Not to mention some of these people aren’t even in Kabul. They’re not moving fast enough to make this a reality.

This explains a lot. When you don’t understand a situation, you should sit down and shut up. Your responses are embarrassing…AOC level embarrassing….Tlaib type is more fitting.

Can we just ban this moron for the next two weeks? I’m in no mood doing bullshite when 10,000 American lives are on the line, not to mention our allies, the Afghani translators, and the women and children about to be put back in sex slavery. This isn’t fricking funny or minor.

These citizens got left behind enemy lines because our government fricked up so badly that they couldn’t tell them to get our.

In fact, they were telling them to hunker down rather than head to the embassy.


Leaving these people behind after such a horrible failure is consigning them to death or worse because a bunch of bureaucrats thought they were smarter than everyone else.

But they were then told to GTFin after this went to hell if you’re sending more troops in, why stop now?

You are going to give yourself a stroke. There is nothing anyone typing on the internet can do to alleviate the situation at this time.

Good grief. The FIRST thing a person in power should NOT do is take options OFF the table. This is more telegraphing weakness. The US has explicity, and publicly, told the Taliban they can wait it out and have 10,000 hostages if they want them.

We're doing everything but sending Biden over there to take a knee. Maybe he'll go when he's done with his vacation?

That is absolutely what we should have done months ago. Sadly, it isn't in the cards anymore.
