At least 4 armored Land Cruiser 200s abandoned
Those must be from contractors.

As this administration works through its plan to divert blame for the withdrawal disaster to Trump, remember that the Taliban broke the ceasefire only after Biden pushed out the May deadline, which was explicitly intended to make the withdrawal “his own” in order to claim credit.

The very fact that he moved the date of our withdrawal to September 11 illustrates the cheap political motive behind the change, which the Taliban used as its excuse to resume hostilities.

It’s true the country would eventually return to Taliban hands, but don’t kid yourselves. Trump’s withdrawal plan was condition-based, and the Taliban had an incentive to meet those conditions when we had a President who would MOAB them. This administration owns this disaster.

That's the kind of assumption that gets you killed with the quickness.

I can't imagine those are green personnel being used to aid in the withdrawal of the Alamo of Afghanistan. I'm pretty sure they've got an idea of what they're doing.

India has it's hands tied under Biden and India hating Kamala. This administration is more China and Paki friendly. When Trump was president they did whatever they wanted. Mainly because Trump looked the other way on any human rights violations i.e. curbing Islam. As well as getting into any kind of conflict with China over the northern border. Now they are forced to sit back in fear of possible sanctions.

Does it really matter at this point? No one is going to do anything about it. Hell, the media will be back to covid panic and Trump blaming by the end of the week

I remember the look on my roommate’s face after she got back from cutting the dead bodies of two soldiers out of an HMMWV that got blown up by an IED that I have always imagined was made with fertilizer from an opium farmer and detonated with a hundred thrown-out batteries.
Jesus. My cousin’s husband died toward the beginning of this mess when an ied was spotted on the side of the road and he grabbed his buddy. They both made it into the truck on their own and he didn’t have a scratch on him. They turned around to see him bc he wasn’t answering them and discovered he was dead. Something about the force of the explosion collapsing his insides. He had an open casket and looked like he died in his sleep.

But honestly, frick the EU. They hated Trump for telling them the brutal, honest truth and now they're seeing the reality of the guy they wanted to tell them what they wanted to hear.

President Biden Monday night directed Secretary of State Antony Blinken to use up to $500 million from the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund to help meet the "unexpected urgent refugee and migration needs of refugees, victims of conflict, and other persons at risk as a result of the situation in Afghanistan, including applicants for Special Immigrant Visas.''
Meanwhile, Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D, N.Y.) said in a statement that he spoke to White House and senior administration officials about evacuating Americans, Afghans and others who worked along with the U.S. "to ensure the United States is doing everything we can to get these people out quickly and safely.''

Because people actually listen to the media and believe every word they say.
The media is the enemy of the people. Maybe the dems will start to realize they are being lied to 24/7.
Pfffft who am I kidding. Yeah right.
