Liberals are melting down on Twitter with the mainstream media criticizing what is happening over there. I think this is the first time they have ever heard criticism from inside their echo chamber.

I doubt it’s legit at this point, so I’m taking down the link. People can find it on Twitter if interested.

That video doesn’t show a human hanging on. It appears to be a dead body being held against a plane by g forces and ragdolling around.

India should be one of our biggest allies in the region. They should start pulling their weight in the world.

Probably a combo of better security by our troops and the tightening of Taliban roadblocks and such.


I’m just not sure if this is actually a good sign. They don’t want to have shite to do with 6,000 troops, so instead they may be foraging and doing all sorts of horrific shite through the city.

They're in the thick of it, too, to an extent. I've seen a few flights posted from them, but haven't posted them.

Yea, I saw some Brits bitching about Dominic Raab being in Cyprus on vacation.

I’m not sure why, but in all of the horror, the video of terrorists playing bumper cars just gets me

Unless, it was only flying about 60 mph and at an altitude of about 1000 feet.
Otherwise, there is no oxygen and the outside air temperature is around -40.


Here’s also the thing though: most of these people don’t actually understand planes, wind resistance, or atmospheric pressure. Some of these morons hanging onto the edge of a plane think it’s just going to be like hanging onto the side of a bus for an hour or two.

Maybe they can form some kind of treaty organization with the Contras, the Republic of Vietnam, and this guy from my old apartment complex who swears he's a Romanov.

I would think air speed like that would rip a flailing body up pretty quickly. There’s also a reply that says there’s no windows like that on a C-17, no clue if that’s true or not though


The thing is a lot of these people have not been in a vehicle going more than 60 miles an hour. I don’t think it registers to them that the wind can rip your body apart.

Maybe, not really sure what that has to do with my post though

Clearly it’s not a guy hanging on a plane.
Honestly I don’t really think they expected to ride a plane out of the country by holding onto it, they just freeze up when it starts moving too fast or takes off quick and are stuck before they know it. The wheel well guys make more sense.

This one bitch called Afghanistan a distraction and said Biden needs to be focusing on Covid killing Americans at home.
