I don’t think China has to seize Taiwan. It just has to close the sea lanes and starve them out.

Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip? -was Eminem in the Taliban?
Packed and unready, sardines, plane is heavy,
Somebody strapped onto the wing is dead-y, leg spaghetti,
Unnerving, that we’re swerving dropping men like confetti,
It’s a rout, without a doubt, pudding brain forgetting…
What to say, took 3 days, to wheel him out,
Platitudes, headed back to, camp David now,
And he’s napping now, pants crapping now,
Taliban surrounds afghans just laughing now,
And they can’t get out, situation frantic now

Completely agree. Just think we ought to focus on the specific threat from China to south Asian sea lanes.
The entire Marine Corps is already being reorganized for that exact purpose.

“U.S. citizens wanting assistance in departing the country should register for any option that might be identified to return to the United States, and must complete this Repatriation Assistance Request for each traveler in their group,” the embassy notice said.
From the state department
But let’s talk about that sieve of a boarder with Mexico these are US citizens this country is a joke! It’s time
“Spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens in Afghanistan who are awaiting immigrant visas should also complete this form if they wish to depart. Please do so as soon as possible. You must complete this form even if you’ve previously submitted your information to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul,”

I’ll believe that when I see stories of people in safe houses making it out of the country. I agree that they are trying to avoid conflict with us but I don’t think they fear Biden.

Has anyone confirmed the legitimacy of that video? I deleted a link to it last night over concerns it wasn’t legit/related to Afghanistan.

I don’t know, it looks pretty valid to me.

Standard prog responses to things they know nothing about.

Thought about that alot as these images have been rolling in...I gotta imagine the people holding onto planes as they took off are super uneducated and have no idea how fast and high planes go. In their minds they were probably holding onto a train in the sky

Reminds me of Pinball in the movie Con Air.

I’m not being a smart arse, just trying to get some corroboration.

I'm thinking that most are uneducated ... Bongino stated some % yesterday of Afghan men that can't even spell their name. It was a HIGH number. His point was they can't spell their name or read English ... HOW are they going to use American equipment and manuals once we left??

They’ve never looked up once while military jets were filling the sky for their entire lifetime?

Does the c-17 even have windows other than the cockpit?
