Taliban Taking Over Afghanistan - Does anyone care?

[NorthDallas40]

I noticed on ADS-B Exchange that there was a B-52 in the area again last night. I've never seen more than one, and it's using GRIMM as the callsign. When it shows up, it's always at altitude in the gulf around or over Dubai, so no clue if it's been anywhere over Afghanistan.

I’d guessed it’s stuffed with JDAMs to be called in just in case.

This. Whether you agree with if we should have went into Afghanistan or not, it was in response to 9/11 and many of our allies came to our aid and put planes in the air, ships on the sea, and boots on the ground. If we get attacked again will they trust our government?

It's going to depend on who is in the WH. How anyone trusted Joe Biden's judgement, I have no clue. Well now they've been hit in the face with 16lb shot put ball. Ouch!

Yay!

Everything I’m hearing is the Taliban is wanting us to leave and letting it happen.

My guess is they probably realize now is not the time to poke the bear.

Poke the bear? With Biden in charge? Give me a break. Obummmers red line all over again.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Yay!

Grab your brain bucket airman!

Those would be charters I would LOVE to do. I can bring out 306 at a time.

Yeah… but you have to take the Afghans where they tell you to you aren’t allowed to improvise.

 

[BreatheUT]

Link?

He doesn't have one. Just trust him on it!

 

[BreatheUT]

Maybe it’s because Biden epically S the bed

Lol, it is as simple as this. I told you common sense or street smarts is not a strength for everyone.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken won't dispute U.S. has to ask Taliban for PERMISSION to evacuate Americans as he admits 'they are in control of Kabul – that is the reality'

Secretary of State Antony Blinken didn't deny on Sunday that the U.S. has to ask the Taliban for permission to get Americans out of Afghanistan as the developing situation in Kabul continues to present obstacles for evacuations.

'Someone in our audience might listen to you, Mr. Secretary, and say, 'Oh, so we have to ask the Taliban for permission for American citizens to leave.' True or not true?' CBS News' Face the Nation fill in host Major Garrett asked Blinken of the 'agreement' between the Islamic militant group and Washington.

Beta cuck syndrome has swept into the US military like a flash flood of pussification.
Ask for permission? For permission?
I guess you could ask… “Mr. Taliban leader, we are requesting permission to evacuate Americans from Afghanistan. If you choose to not grant us permission, we’ll unleash bloody hell upon you and kill your goats and camels.”
That might get their attention.

Posters, let's look at things big picture from a holistic POV. What we are seeing is a failure of progressive policy. It doesn't work. We are headed in the wrong direction as a country. That is why you see progressives fervently defending Biden, changing the topic, and running misdirection to blame Donald Trump. Unbelievable. If they would blame Trump for this, then they will blame him for anything. The bigger carrot dangling is the failure of progressive policies and ideology. It was inevitable it would be exposed once Trump left office based on how the democrats setup all the faux arguments over his term in office. Their last gasp is full takeover of society to prevent losing power now that they've been exposed again.

I absolutely am, and there are two guys I used to work with still at the embassy.

And just so we are all clear, activation of the CRAF puts a big ole bright blue exclamation mark on this whole fiasco. This is only the third time it has ever been activated.

An absolute clown show

Ridiculous. We weren't in Afg because of progressive policy. We didn't stay for a generation because of progressive policy

Croation Royal Air Force?

Civilian Reserve Air Fleet.

Civilian Reserve Air Fleet.

I got air correct.

Every counter move or reactionary move further illustrates the bad vision and judgement of the initial strategy.

Jimmy Carter is happy his name won't be the only one mentioned as a bad foreign policy POTUS.

 

[AM64]

Yay!

It's one way to get the airlines to pull planes out of storage ... maybe.

 

[Electric Orange]

No.

This is simple, stop making it so complicated.

If Trump were in the WH now he'd have done the same thing Biden did because they both trusted the bad advice they got that the Afghans could handle this and the Taliban were not as strong as it turns out they are.

You should change your name to whataboutismorangemanbadgator1

People are gonna forget Carter all together and he can leave this earth in peace knowing he wasn’t the worst US POTUS ever now. Good for Carter.

It's going to depend on who is in the WH. How anyone trusted Joe Biden's susan rice's judgement, I have no clue. Well now they've been hit in the face with 16lb shot put ball. Ouch!

Fixy

I wouldnt bank on how uniformly they think and behave. This is tribal world after all.

I know why we were in Afghanistan. Mission creep kept us there. I'm talking about Woke ideas in a number of areas. Progressives don't want to take this L without blaming some of it on Trump.
