Damn dude, we should bomb the Taliban? And then they'd all flee and the country will take care of itself?

If only someone had thought of this at any point in the last two decades

Foolproof

Honestly, the leaders of the GWOT would think he's a goddamn genius

No one has been killed by the peaceful, changed Taliban Joe says....



?
Translated tweet with video of the police chief that appears to be from after he was captured by the Taliban. This would be another example of what is going on away from Kabul.

I love the fact that our Government has straight up said "We don't know how many Americans are in the country".

So, the Taliban could start kidnapping folks and we leave without even knowing Americans are in the hands of the Taliban.

Gotta love the propaganda! If the media won't spin for you, just spin yourself.

Compare this image released by our military leaders to others that have been posted here.

Mother frickers… so they got 2,000 out of Afghanistan yesterday. How many of them were American…… LESS THAN 300 and almost all male. Get your fricking shite together Pentagon! There’s over 10,000 Americans over there, and if we keep up at this rate, we’ll evacuate less than 3,900. Get your arse in that city and go find them!




The military may be out playing Biden on this one. We will stay for Americans but leave everyone else behind on the last American out.

By getting the 'terps and other helpers out first we don't leave anyone behind.

I've been harping on that for three days now. Our State Department, even prior to this shitshow, has/had no frickimg idea how many American citizens were in the capital city of a country that is an active war zone. On a good day, that is inexcusable.

This was by design which is why we are cutting and running on the 31st. There will be a lot of Americans who just "disappeared" or what the Biden Administration will classify as those who didn't want to leave Afghanistan.

The taliban will run like crazy if we do that which will help us get our people out. Then let that country take care of itself… I don’t think you understand what dropping a bomb there would mean.

How do you suggest we drop bombs on the Taliban without killing Americans? They're quite literally working side by side. You drop a bomb on Hadji and you drop it on Joe.

Anyone else feel like this is the spark that opens the gates for China invading Taiwan? I feel like shite is about to hit the fan.

When the US State Dept says come to the Airport if you want to leave but doesn't really tell you about the gauntlet you will have to run to get there. Russian photos from yesterday

There’s no way they are letting him have this, and even if they do there’s no way the window licker would be able to figure out how to use it

That's a risky game. Definitely would be a chess move though. I just don't trust Biden to hold up his end on that.
