Q Mr. President — do you trust the Taliban, Mr. President?
Q Is a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan now inevitable?
THE PRESIDENT: No, it is not.
Q Why?
THE PRESIDENT: Because you — the Afghan troops have 300,000 well-equipped — as well-equipped as any army in the world — and an air force against something like 75,000 Taliban. It is not inevitable.

Holy shite. Is that true?
It would match with the videos from earlier of the people hanging off the side of a military jet heading down the runway for takeoff.

Hiding in your basement during your campaign is one thing. Doing it as president is... shameful.
Anyone trying to gaslight it being acceptable are not far behind
PREACH

More reports of door-to-door searching which the Taliban, Russia, china, etc. say isn't happening.

Many say family members have already gone into hiding as the Taliban searches house-by-house for American collaborators

Desperate and defeated, Naqibullah Laghmanai was calling everyone he could think of Monday morning in Houston, trying to get his family out of Afghanistan. He was on hold with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for at least the 10th time in recent weeks, he said.
He was crafting a plea to the Canadian Embassy, though his family never worked for the Canadians. He was calling members of Congress.
On Monday, after the Taliban took Kabul, Taliban fighters searched his aunt and uncle’s home, looking for the men of the family, his mother told him.
“Their only hope is on me to get them out and I can’t,” Mr. Laghmanai, 31, said of his parents and siblings.

Fact. He seems obsessed with Q and Trump in a thread 8 months after Biden assumed office.

I’ve seen it reported by multiple people on Twitter, but I can’t say for certain. Seems to be true.
One C-17 was carrying a reported 800 people on board. One SAM hit and that's a pretty catastrophic day.

Gutfeld (who sucks arse) with the jab. He said something like:
Well, Lori Lightfoot can rejoice. She no longer has the most dangerous city in the world.

And you are surprised? CIA has foretold this exact event for at least 10 years. Army keep saying we are winning and the agency would say not the way we see it.
We gave that shite to the Afghan Army, the Taliban was always gonna get it.
I could just as easily blame trump, do you want to see the videos of his deal with Taliban, or Obama, didn’t do shite, or Bush, maybe could have done it right in beginning.
This was the ducking defense industrial complex and its captive Army shite show. We probably could have given every kid in America that wanted it free college during this shite show. I get Iraqi, we wanted their oil reserves, but there isn’t shite in Afghanistan but opium.
This withdrawal fiasco is on Biden, he needs to get our people and people that helped us out.
Then nuke the shithole or at least the airport. Let them eat opium

The source and another U.S. official told Reuters that the administration so badly misjudged the situation that the State Department flew a regular rotation of diplomats into Kabul last Tuesday even as the Taliban advanced toward the capital.
