The new Taliban special forcea raises lots of concerns about their wider goals in the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia. American equipment, American uniforms, and a bloodthirsty apatite.
These guys has a sense of humor too mocking the USA.
America*s allies and former allies should realize when woke liberals come to power all mutual agreements are canceled. The world should reevaluate friendsship with woke liberal political hacks.
I just have a few questions:
Weren’t American citizens in other cities and other places in Afghanistan, not just in Kabul? How does Biden expect them to get to the airport in Kabul? Does he really believe they can get in their car and drive there? Why does the media focus just on Kabul? Why don’t they say anything about how ANY American citizen in other place in Afghanistan can get, or is getting, to safety? Why not? Are all those Americans hostages already?
Yes. It looks like the US military is just starting to extract Americans in Kabul, and Biden is agreeing with Taliban demands to withdraw US forces by August 31. Even Democrats are admitting there is no reasonable way to get everyone out by that date.
Once the airport closes, the only reasonable land routes are probably northwards into Uzbekistan or other former Soviet republics.
How many billions has the Biden administration allocated for the coming ransom demands?
For now the only way out appears to be through Kabul airport. People living near the northern border might be able to escape by land. Attempting to head south through the Pashto areas of Pakistan or east through Iran would be extremely dangerous.
There is the possibility that the US has at least temporary bases in Central Asia that may be able to allow helicopter evacuations:
fwiw- I have what’s referred to as highly functioning autism. While my quirks do allow me to excel in my field it does make communication difficult (especially written)
