The 1 pm remarks by President Biden on Afghanistan are not happening at 1... No new time announced by White House.


so our President, Chief of Staff, Press Secretary, and Vice President are all refusing to acknowledge or address the situation. This is fine.

Biden going back to Delaware to rest up this weekend?

They reported they changed their minds on that, but I'm sure they can change right back.

Do these typically get left out in daylight? Obviously some stuff is being hidden but I assumed we kept these sort of secret

OK so this is insane. Here is part of why the crowd is so out of control -

Twitter

The State Department sent out uncontrolled documents that look like Visas but without serial numbers for SIV requestors to print. They could print as many of them as they want and hand them out!

Damn, who started cutting onions.

I assume that's one of the children that we saw lifted over the wall.

just saw this come across.

REUTERS: "The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result."


I wonder if this gets swept under the rug or brought up to hide Afghani shitshow.

Assume that’s why they’re covering it up in the pic. I bet the hangars are full of SOAR birds and Pandurs

That MFer is about to rape them for every gram of lithium, copper, and rare earth metals. You think they’d be hesitant to trust Russia but the new Taliban appears to be a little less medieval

About a month ago, Afghanistan's ministry of defence posted on social media photographs of seven brand new helicopters arriving in Kabul delivered by the United States.


quote:

"They'll continue to see a steady drumbeat of that kind of support, going forward," US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters a few days later at the Pentagon.

In a matter of weeks, however, the Taliban had seized most of the country, as well as any weapons and equipment left behind by fleeing Afghan forces.



quote:

Another official said that while there are no definitive numbers yet, the current intelligence assessment was that the Taliban are believed to control more than 2,000 armoured vehicles, including US Humvees, and up to 40 aircraft potentially including UH-60 Black Hawks, scout attack helicopters, and ScanEagle military drones.

I’d love to hear the case that Biden shouldn’t be thrown out of office in the next five seconds.
