This is a very good point.
You see Australia and Germany have planes ready and available on the tarmac ready to depart. You and your American family are forced to sit back and watch those planes depart with less than 3 dozen passengers combined. WTF?

I’ve held out expressing my opinion on all of this until I hear as much fact as I can but now it is abundantly clear to me that this is a Royal frickup. Biden, who said that “the buck stops with me” has made one of the most horrific international missteps ever made by this country.
Getting out of Afghanistan is not the issue. It’s “How” it’s been done. They completely blew it. Left thousands of lives at stake with no protection to one of the most ruthless groups on the planet, the head of which, spent years in gitmo and now sits in the Kings chair making all of the calls. Add to that the fact that our VP is a female! Anyone who thinks this guy will have mercy on Americans is tragically naive. Biden is one of those people.
Biden is stupid. Plain and simple- the guy is stupid

Terrified Biden Wanders Around The White House Wondering Where Obama Went
WASHINGTON, D.C.—According to anonymous sources, Biden was seen wandering the White House grounds this morning, desperately looking for President Obama.
"Barack! Barack! Where are ya, you ol' devil?" Biden yelled as he shuffled through the hallways in his bathrobe and slippers. "You can't hide from me, I know all the best hiding spots around here, you know that! Barack? Helloooo?"
After several minutes of fruitless searching, Biden got more agitated and uncooperative, aides say. At one point he bumped into Kamala Harris and asked for her help. "Michelle! Where's your husband Michelle? I need him real quick. Important meeting."
Amid increased calls for Democrats to show some humanity and help Biden step down and live out his remaining years peacefully, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said to the press: "Statements by these anonymous sources are completely false. The President is in perfect health and also has a fully functional brain."
"Also, there is no crisis at the border," she added. "But if there is, it's totally Trump's fault. No further questions at this time."

Not sure if it’s already known, but Afghani President Ghani’s daughter lives in a lavish apartment in NYC. Glad to see our tax dollars being laundered to her so she can live better than most Americans.

Pretty soon the Democrats will start claiming the 2020 election was fraudulent and Trump really won.
Nobody is going to want to admit that they were responsible for putting these idiots in power. I’m going to tell every single democrat “you own this”. Everyone one with eyes knew that Biden was deficient during the campaign. They still voted for him.

Yep. The military was more focused on Critical Race Theory than safely evacuating American citizens, allies, and Afghani translators.

I've seen some unverified reports from the UK that A LOT of US/Afghan equipment has been moved to Pakistan.

He is spot on. It's rather sad listening to our NATO allies come to the realization that they can no longer rely on the United States...for anything.

Dan Bongino was saying even if the Taliban can't figure out how to use the equipment they scooped up, the Pakistani ISI will sure help.

Honestly the Taliban by the end of the month could have more hostages than Hannibal did after the Battle of Cannae. This is unbelievable that we have no clue how many Americans are there in that country.

When we start counting them by public beheadings when all this comes to fruition, maybe the rest of the country will finally take notice.

CNN reporters are describing a pretty grim situation, saying it is virtually impossible for an American to even make to the airport to escape.

They don't have to rely on Pakistan for most of it. The biometric stuff, which inexplicably was allowed to be "seized" will need the ISI help, but the rest can be managed by the scores of US-trained Afghans who flipped sides and are now working with the Taliban.
