Also the White House called a lid for today. Not a single thing coming out of their mouths. This is how empires fall.

I love how they called January 6th the biggest crisis and threat to this country since the Civil War. We probably haven’t even reached the point of the year, because that’s when China invades Taiwan.

This is like one of those train wrecks that is too catastrophic to look away from.

Prepare to get even more fricking pissed off. It just gets worse… these evil mother frickers!



They’re trying to get people killed at this point. Any of these Afghan refugees have $2,000 to spar? I’m willing to bet they don’t.

Apparently the Biden administration came out and said they are aware of congestion at the airport… they’re acting as if someone just got a flat tire on the interstate.


They are negotiating with AAA and State Farm to help clear the congestion on the roadways right now in DOHA.

It looks like Biden's team has given up. They aren't even trying to make him appear, presidential anymore. I mean, DAMN !

And making Americans pay for their own flights. Don’t have 2K in the bank? Then frick off! And let’s not forget about the Covid tests either while we’re at it.

Then, keeping the volatile situation in mind, I discussed with my first officer that if we had to we would depart the aircraft without clearance, keeping in mind my responsibilities towards my passengers, company and my country.

In my mind I was thinking god forbid if we are caught or kept in Afghanistan, we could be used as hostages and I was worried for the safety of my passengers and crew.

My first officer agreed with me and we decided that approved or not we were departing, as we could not stay where we were.

After an hour or so of waiting for clearance, Kabul ATC said they were are shutting down and that the airfield was now uncontrolled.

I could see lots of military aircraft departing and I made the decision to take off. I had to avoid military traffic helicopters and troop carriers on the departure, but fortunately the visibility was clear. If it had been cloudy, I don't know how we would have done that.


How do you say, "Let's get the frick out of here" in Punjabi?

Yea, that's the fricked up thing.

From my understanding, the civilian side is still on their own. They don't have ATC help because US Military basically owns and manages all of that.

If you're a civilian trying to get out on a civilian jet. Have fun getting past Taliban, approval by Taliban, and hope you have visibility

They're sick of putting lipstick on the old geezer. At some point you just gotta let a man hang himself.

It's a shame he's the face of this nation.

Holy shite. This reads like satire.

Yeah, let's charge people trying to escape being beheaded $2000. Meanwhile, let's also increase the food stamp allocation to fatass poors who spend it on crab legs and steaks.

This is SOP. This is nothing new. I outlined it in one of my posts in this thread. They always charge Americans for evacuations.

This money isn't going to be up-front. For Americans, if they don't pay it will be part of their taxes. For these Afghanis, I'm sure it will be the same.

This is what happens when no one is in charge:

STUNNING: Woke General Milley Claims Taliban Is Not Interfering at Kabul Airport as White House Lashes Out at Taliban for Interfering at Airport


quote:

At the same time the White House was lashing out at the Taliban for breaking their word on safe passage, General Mark Milley was telling reporters the exact opposite was happening.



quote:

General Milley: ‘The Taliban are in and around Kabul right now but they are not interfering with our operations.”


quote:

At his Wednesday press conference with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Milley insisted that the Taliban was not interfering. This is just crazy.
They have no idea what is going on or how to fix it.
