I think its just because it sounds good and pulls at the strings of people's sympathy.



Wait, isn’t this the admin that goes apeshit if someone “mid genders”? Are they assuming the gender of all these people?

It just further shows what absolute horseshite these people are. They believe in NOTHING but their own power. All their purse clutching over mean words was the biggest bullshite ever.

At minimum he is ill equipped to handle this. I still cannot understand what the frick he was thinking. How did this happen? How do you forget to get our people and weapons/gear out before you pack up? I deeply dislike Trump and cannot see even him fricking up this epically. Biden has lost the faith of even him most staunch supporters.

When you see the way they were boarding that plane (assuming it was the same plane) it’s hard to fathom they had any clue who was on board. I think they had to take off because the situation was dangerous, not because they had orderly boarded 670 vetted passengers. #contingencyplan

The way they’re talking right now are basically saying they’re on their own. The Press Secretary for the Pentagon said on repeat that they’ll protect US citizens AT THE AIRPORT, and then when asked about American citizens outside of the airport he then confirms that they’ll be protected ONCE THEY GET TO THE AIRPORT. Not giving American citizens any guidance on how to get to the airport. Yesterday they only evacuated 165 American citizens. If they keep up that rate, what’s going to happen to US citizens after August 31st? A massacre is definitely on the table right now.



Why can’t they negotiate (pay) for guaranteed safe passage of Americans to the airport. Seriously, they can just leave them on their own. That’s outrageous.

In the very least this wouldn’t be happening since Trump is quick to anger, doesn’t take being threatened, and is unpredictable. There’d be drones and bombings as we speak if he was in office

They are being kind to us. Sadly, not joking. They could do it if they wanted to.

Great! I wonder what the updated estimated death toll for Americans is right now that Milley is reading between chapters of White Fragility.

At this point in time, it is against the Tsliban's best interests to try to take the airport.

As of a day or so ago, there wasn’t a large contingent of Taliban in Kabul. More were on the way and may be there now. However, doing something that forces US retaliation is the last thing they want right now as the US is voluntarily leaving and losing credibility on the world stage in the process.
