Do ISIS and the Taliban get along?



ISIS is a terrorist network that has cells over several countries in the middle east. The Taliban is strictly Afghanistan to keep "foreign invaders" out. Both are Sunni, but Taliban and ISIS have fought each other in Afghanistan.

You think that’s bad? Give it a few days and heads will literally be rolling.


If you are willing to grab on to the outside of a JET about to fly at hundreds of miles an hour, thousands of feet in the air…what does that say about what you are trying to get away from?

Wasn't it the same in Vietnam? We've all seen the famous videos of the people rushing the departing planes.

What concessions are there to make outside of ransoms?

Biden has clearly shown that he intends to 100% be out of Afghanistan completely.

Not really. Have you seen how they treat women? They simply do not value them. IT's sad.

People are so desperate they are trying to hold onto our planes as they take off.

In this video, you can see two people fall to their deaths.

Nothing up close but you can see two bodies fall from pretty high after take-off.

Sort of graphic

So sad how bad this administration has failed the people of Afghanistan after the investment (both monetarily and by many American soldiers) the last 20 years.

This is a shite show. People trying fly out hanging onto planes and the president can’t even give us a recorded statement?

His administration is on vacation. They'll circle back around to it when they get back in a couple weeks.

The Biden administration has embarrassed this country. They have shown the world they are incompetent leaders and are not willing to face the country in a time of chaos.

What a disaster. This is what happens when you are worried about social justice, feelings, gender, unicorn farts and rainbows.

If there was any justice in this world, he would answer for lying to the American people and the generals who went along with this would be court martialed

They were probably the ones helping the US/Allies. They will probably be killed.

This. It was now known over a month ago that Afghan Army was changing sides in large numbers.
