So we left behind more US citizens than died on sept 11, 2001 which is the reason fir being there in the first place?
This has to be the biggest foreign policy disaster in history.

The embassy, which is now operating out of the Kabul airport, instructed US citizens in the capital to shelter in place.
Wow. They basically just handed down death sentences to those people.
Un-fricking-believable.

Why do I get the feeling Biden is going to hand over loads of cash for American hostages?

Pretty much sums up this administration's policy on this situation.

Update 14. Joe Biden has decided to take a 2 week vacation starting today.
Can you imagine what the media would do if Trump did this?

It won't take hostages, but they will likely be the cover. This administration has already laid the groundwork for Taliban aid. We will, almost certainly, be funding the Taliban as well as the remnants of the Afghan Army at the same damn time.

About what? I’m trying to focus on finding out what’s happening to US citizens. There are plenty of other threads to go back and forth about the politics of the situation.
As soon as they shut down the airport, that talk needed to be squashed until the situation is over.
If you can’t see that then you need to step away from everything and gain some perspective.

7.8 million Vets that served in Iraq and Afghanistan are having to witness this, and the President is nowhere to be found.

The politics of the situation is dictating the situation.
The politics of the situation caused the situation.

The Squad will demand that we supply the Taliban the parts needed for their newly acquired MRAPs
