Alphabet Inc’s YouTube said it bans accounts that are believed to be owned and operated by the Taliban, Reuters reports.
Separately, the Financial Times reported that Facebook Inc’s WhatsApp messaging service has shut down a complaints helpline set up by the Taliban after it took control of the Afghan capital Kabul.

Germany had a fairly substantial Bundeswehr presence there and just their employees could fill those planes if all the Bundeswehr personnel have left. Anyone who wasn't on the payrole but associated with them may be SOL.

They're doing better than they were yesterday when mass confusion caused an evac plane to leave the airport with seven people on board.

Maybe this fiasco was engineered to get Biden to step down…

It took our Prez 3 days to come forward with a 10 minute presser and was worthless. Then he chose to return to CD rather than remain at his office in the WH working round the clock to get our people out of that hell hole.


Because he doesn't give a shite, and neither do his voters.

If he does and Harris becomes President, what do you think the typical reaction would be?

Reporter (paraphrased): Does Biden take responsibility for bloodshed that could happen and how this has played out?


Sullivan (paraphrased): Everyone (all leaders of US Govt) takes on responsibilities... Good decisions...uhh...uhhh...uhhh decisions that haven't had the best outcomes.


Lol he wouldn't say bad decisions.

This is the part that many people miss. When Biden took the troops out in the dead of night that started this shite, not only did he not tell the Afghanis, he also didn't tell any of our other allies who had troops there, like Germany.

Biden didn't only frick the US and Afghanistan, he fricked over a whole host of countries.

And they're all seriously pissed off right now because they're having to scramble to try and get their citizens out of there.

The incompetence and complete lack of giving a shite by Biden is mind blowing.

What fricking President just gives a canned ten minute speech, after three fricking days of silence, then turns right around, refuses questions, and goes back on vacation while this shitshow is still happening?

How the frick cany ANYONE support this fricking failure at this point?

Agreed 110%

His past employment

quote:

He was previously a senior policy advisor to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential election campaign and deputy chief of staff at the Department of State. Sullivan was also a senior advisor to the U.S. government for the Iran nuclear negotiations and a visiting professor at Yale Law School.

Sullivan worked in the Obama administration as deputy assistant to the president and the vice president's national security advisor, when Biden was U.S. Vice President. He also served as the Director of Policy Planning at the Department of State, and as deputy chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.



Also, how can you sit here and say that they looked at every contingency but yet apparently there wasn't one for a mass evac within a short period of time.

I thought about it, but the MIC hates Kamala way more than they dislike Joe.

Biden spent 8 years in Senate voting for this, and never heard him once, make any noise about ending the war. Not to mention the 8 years as VP and Obama’s foreign policy guy. His fingerprints are ALL OVER this. He’s not some guy who just got to D.C. He is the face of Washington D.C. foreign policy the last 50 years.
