I doubt he’s getting out
Ex-marine stuck with 173 dogs and cats at Kabul airport in desperate bid to flee
‘We’ve got hours now before animals start dying’, ex-marine warns
I don't understand what he thinks he gains from this? Its like taking on Rashford over free meals for hungry kids all over again.
And as with that once it was highlighted on social media and eventually into mainstream press instead of getting things sorted out ASAP to at least look vaguely competent and compassionate he's tried to double down and keeps coming out with clear rubbish. Even the MOD have contradicted what he's been saying as they don't want the blame placed on them.
The fact he's still going on about pet rescue and animals being prioritised over humans just shows him to be completely clueless. They aren't pets and its a private charter being paid for by public donations. The animals will go in the cargo hold where its not possible to transport humans and the spare capacity on the plane is being made available to whoever the authorities wish to get out of there.
NothingReports now that "multiple US soldiers" have been killed. Fuck. What will Biden do now?
Atleast 10 US soldiers killed
Never mind Joe is having his afternoon nap bless him
He's such a tragic prick

So basically , they are a global power militarily now .
Wow. If that's true there's going to be a whole lot of shit going down.
Why have the Taliban been allowed to take over again?
Trump signed a deal in 2020 and Biden is going to seeing through by hook or by crook.
Biden claims he cant renege on it but these attacks will actually allow him to do that but he won't.
Whatever comes next, expect the usual suspects to profit massively, (Erik Prince charging 6.5k fora seat out of there as we speak).

When the Washington post issues this you know it’s damning of the president
His Covid response says otherwise. Worth pointing out that under Trumps deal they should have been out by may. In a sense them still being there is going back in.just sit back doing nothing.
The parallels with Vietnam are very stark. Read last week that the Taliban were already selling American hardware on line. The writing was on the wall before we invaded. America’s involvement in Afghanistan dates to when Russia invaded. They trained and armed many militias in Afghanistan including the Taliban because they wanted to give Russia their Vietnam.The same thing happened in Vietnam...

I seem to remember Trump saying if there were issues they would go back in.
Just to clarify I'm not trying to support either one of them in this, but love him or loathe him, I don't think he would take what happened today and just sit back doing nothing.
No he wouldn't. But I'd fear he'd go too far the other way and massively over retaliate leading to an international incident.
I don't think you should let political feelings blind you. If you were in charge right now, what would you do? If I was a leader of a country and 10+ of my soilders trying to save lives were killed, I would be absolutely fuming.
The attacks were carried out by Isis, not by the Taliban. The Taliban have actually been fighting with ISIS also. And intelligence is suggesting they have actually stopped a number of other attacks. So using this as an excuse to renege would be a hard sell.
However, there are many more legitimate reasons that he could renege mind you. But you are right that he won't do that.
Although as a serving member of the armed forces I find it rather sickening that our own government isn't being given far more pressure, we pulled out most of troops over 7 years ago, and yet we are chastising the Americans for doing the same? We have just as much a moral responsibility to help these people as the Americans do. And we can do far far more than we are. (Not aimed at you CVD this part just rather than creating a separate post!)
Yes, I know it was ISIS, (ISIS K to be precise, as I stated in an earlier post), , but part of the deal was that they do not allow jihadist groups to flourish in Afghanistan. That clause is out the window already.
And the Taliban don't have counter terrorist capabilities anyway. I think the thwarted attacks may have been down to the now defunct Afghan army but you maybe right.
I suspect they'll needto be supported in this endeavour by some obscenely paid private contractors.
