Interesting to note that the Taliban still (already) have one American bargaining chip hostage.

Sad to say I’m happy they have some skin in this game. This shouldn’t be shuffled to the back of the deck after a couple days.

Actually meant to ask you about this earlier. Why was he not included in the negotiations for safe exit? They got 5000 of their prisoners back.

How long is the Taliban content to lay back and wait for the US to leave? You’d think after awhile a trigger happy Taliban soldier would try something.

Yep. They have been petitioning/begging the White House for help all day.

I don't know. You'd think he would have been.

Honestly, it’s even worse if Biden wasn’t on vacation and has been dialed in in this nonstop since Friday.
Thats a terrifying thought.

Yeah, this may put my Ides of August plans a bit on hold (not by much) because everyone is so shocked by this. Beyond almost any worst case scenarios. They left that many people in Afghanistan over this is simply ridiculous.

AC-130 back from Afghanistan. A lot of firepower is orbiting Kabul's airport




There’s also a surprising amount of smaller private aircraft using the Kabul airport

It's scary how much the Aemerican left and the Taliban have in common.

Legit concern. Biden doesn’t care. This could be a very bad situation soon.
