What’s up with transport planes shown on fox dropping countermeasure flares at take off. That is not a good look if they really believe that they have to deploy countermeasures to get away from the runway safely.

Have y’all talked to anyone about this? Because seems like most people never looked at it from the get go.

Only thing I can think of is China invading Taiwan or Russia invading Ukraine, and neither of them are ready for that yet.


I am not one to be a conspiracy theorist, but i believe that both have been ready for a long time, and this was the push needed to make it happen - what better time is there?

Russia could take Ukraine in a few days if they wanted.

Completely agree…I’m just wondering why she’s sitting back and not taking advantage of this. She could completely destroy him with one press conference. Meanwhile, she’s headed to Vietnam and Joe’s headed to Delaware. It’s like this was planned and she’s just playing her part.

Im stunned at how little people know about this. Was talking to a friend of mine last night. He's the type of guy that shares anti-Biden stuff on Facebook several times a day. He had no idea there were this many Americans over there. He really didnt know much about it at all.

The only thing ive seen people post on FB are images of people falling from planes and the Taliban dancing to Drake. And I could count the number of posts on two hands.

Correct. Sadly that is what I fear. I think China taking Taiwan is more likely of the two

I just saw a video that may have been an Afghan child dying inside the Kabul airport. I'm not posting the link until I see if the video makes rne rounds and it is verified in some way. It was a girl and the father was carrying her.
Per Jake Tapper Twitter (SIAP):

I’m so glad to tell you that the sick little baby girl, an American citizen, who was stuck outside the Kabul airport, has finally gotten into the airport and is getting medical care. Thank you and God bless everyone who worked on this

Yikes. This was the same call.

So Austin tells House members the Taliban is beating Americans and preventing them from getting to the airport.

And Pelosi basically says “ok great everything sounds good let’s move on.”

Per my prediction, Joe has less than 58 days left in office. Harris is being kept away from this as much as possible so when Joe steps down it will appear as if fresh leadership has arrived.
