This dude is getting grilled, and he shouldn’t be. Biden should be answering these questions.

Reporter: "Do you have a plan for the equipment that has fallen into the hands of the Taliban?"

Sullivan: "We don't have a complete view of where every asset is at. We don't have a sense that the Taliban will be handing over US equipment at the airport"

Everyone agrees with the choice God damn it! Everyone also agrees whoever designed and planned it, fricked it up so terribly bad that America is now an international laughing stock.


Hey all you people that think trump hurt our international standing, what do you think now?

I do not envy this job. When you don’t have a sympathetic media it’s fricking hard.

U.S. Army Major General Hank Taylor says there will be more than 4,000 Americans troops on the ground in Kabul by the end of Tuesday. He says flights through the night lifted about 700 to 800 people, including 165 American citizens

Nat Sec Adviser Jake Sullivan says he's "not going to comment on hypotheticals" about what U.S. troops will do if all Americans + Afghan allies aren't out by Biden's August 31 deadline. “So you can't commit to bringing back every American?"

This fricking guy just said we’re working and coordinating with the Taliban to get people to the airport.

“Oh yes sir…right this way into this unmarked vehicle…”

“Wait…why are we headed away from the airport?”

Anyone watching flight traffic around Kabul online?

Have a USAF plane circling for an hour all around Kabul. Assuming it’s taking high resolution photos.

It appears to be a dead zone now. Nothing coming in for a ways out. Some aircraft appear to be heading out a ways out already.

Because those are the most pressing issues of the day! I can't believe the shite this administration gets away with because of a lapdog press.

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.

The incompetence and complete lack of giving a shite by Biden is mind blowing.
Maybe? It's kind of not surprising given their agenda seems mostly focused on Jan 06 and battling "white supremacy".

Holy shite. Sullivan just said that Biden hasn't talked to one leader up to this point. Only his cabinet members have.

Yikes. But those few posters assured us last night that Biden was NOT on a vacation and that they were positive he had talked to our allies. They said he was on top of EVERYTHING

Should have never left Bagram. Could have been extracting people off rooftops for the last five days. Now thousands of Americans are at the mercy of the Taliban. If ONE American dies this administration will completely implode.

There was a Qatari C17 that just took off from Kabul, but it disappeared.

I wonder if they are turning stuff off to not be tracked.
