I was providing real-time info earlier during that WH Briefing but to confirm re: Biden hasn't talked to any World leaders since Kabul fell. Here is proof from The Guardian:

quote:

US President Joe Biden has not spoken with any of his fellow world leaders since Kabul fell to the Taliban, the White House said.
“He has not yet spoken with any other world leaders,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters. “Myself, Secretary (Antony) Blinken, several other senior members of the team have been engaged on a regular basis with foreign counterparts and we intend to do so in the coming days,” he added. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters that the administration’s focus was currently on the tense evacuation process for thousands of Americans and Afghan allies from Kabul, AFP reports.

Not in any way to detract from your sentiment but i think the Taliban partially formed in protest to this practice. They made it punishable by death...although they sometimes killed the boy.

They could hijack planes and fly them into buildings. They could sneak across the southern border and make a car bomb, plant it at a busy intersection during rush hour. The could literally do just about anything you dipshit

Taliban Leaders Used Twitter and WhatsApp to Help Capture Kabul


quote:

On Monday, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid tweeted that residents welcomed the Taliban and that "the situation in Kabul is under control." The jihadist group used WhatsApp to disseminate a similar message to Kabul residents as it entered the city. In recent days, Taliban leaders have circulated WhatsApp numbers that Afghan regime officials or soldiers could call to negotiate their surrender.

Interesting. There was an independent thinking moderate Tennessee fan in here yesterday saying Camp David was the best place for secret meetings and negotiations, and we couldn't know if Joe was working the case from behind the scenes.

Surely he's keeping himself busy with the work of our country in other ways.

But were their tweets and messages "mean"?

The taliban spokesman has a Twitter account but trump does not. That makes sense.

bullshite. I would have wanted Trump removed and I feel the same about Biden. Abandoning people is wrong regardless of political party.

That's been the trend on most days. It has been fairly civil today, even with Peej hanging around.

ETA: But Peej did doom us all, unfortunately.

Reports say that 670 Afghans who hadn't served #US #mission were #evacuated the the night before last night in the 1st flight who are now in the US.


Now that is the type of leadership and forward-thinking we expected from this Administration.

At this point, how can Twitter bigshots claim they are not actively working against National Security interests? Their decisions literally make it easier for the current enemy to communicate.

Color me shocked that the U.S. is evacuating more Afghans with no ties to the U.S. rather than actual U.S. citizens.

Close to 10,000 American citizens on the ground. Taliban have control over the city. Taliban has complete control.
