Wait you have failed to fill me in

Okay let's discuss like matured people all sentiments and political affiliations aside two questions I'll love if you could give an answer.


1) do you support the evacuation if not, what do you support, give your theory and why you don't

2) what are you angry about, that you feel could have been din better and how.

Really love to hear.
They went to war with an enemy thinking they knew why the enemy was fighting them.

I can assure you that if a white person had stated that the reverse, stating he's glad white are now outnumbering blacks in the country, these three things would happen:

1. He'd be called out and he would be trending.
2. Twitter/Facebook/Instagram would suspend his account.
3.He'd be doxxed and lose his job due to petitions and his employers and sponsors openly denying him with press statements.
4. He'd go into hiding.

The woman whom a black man asked to leave Central Park for walking her dog just had to call the police on him and everything I stated above happened to her when she got canceled by race hustlers online.
https://nationalpost.com/news/central-park-karen-defends-her-actions-in-first-interview-since-fleeing-u-s

What Baba60+ stated would have been equated as supporting the "depopulation of people of colour and racism" if it were stated by a white person.

Same hypocrisy we keep going on about. Same way they term others "white cracker" and "rednecks" and "pale" but if you as much as refer to their skin colour in any way, you are canceled.
He insults me for being a conspiracist.

Its also funny they are rushing to house refugees but they don't know how many Americans are stranded. These refugees could also easily be Taliban operatives, some of them because they were not vetted or properly vetted.

This admin is a laughing stock globally.
Aljazeera has footage of demonstrators waving Afhhan flags in Jalalabad being shot by Taliban with 3 casualties.
Also has video of 20 plus patients in ICU shot during the airport rush.

The democrat are rushing to praise the Taliban for behaving nicely. Once a snake always a snake. The Talibans have not fought all those years and won only to be taught how to live in a sane society.



Deputy Secretary of State Wendy
Sherman on Wednesday accused the
Taliban of not following through on
their promises of allowing for safe
travels and access to Kabul airport.
“We have seen reports that the
Taliban, contrary to their public
statements and their commitments to
our government, are blocking Afghans
who wish to leave the country from
reaching the airport,” Wendy Sherman
said.

“Our military partners are engaging
directly with the Taliban to make clear
that we expect them to allow all
American citizens, all 3rd country
nationals and all Afghans who wish to
leave to do so safely and without
harassment,” she added.

These Afghans would eventually become citizens and the GQP would keep wondering why they keep bleeding voters of minorities descent or people of colour.
It only takes a few casualties to turn the tide. If the Taliban hold foreigners hostage , the negative sentiments against Biden will abate.
This is a sword that can cut two ways.As usual you only look at a situation that makes Republican lose face.
I doubt many democrats are happy with how the withdrawal was handled. And how Joe is vacationing while Rome burns. Sen Ted Cruz was lit up for vacationing in Cancum while Texas was out of power over winter. Joe Biden is vacationing during a very serious crisis, he has flown Marine1 18 times in one month alone, he refused to maintain 2500 troops as adviced by his top generals. Kamala Harris reportedly does not want that shit pinned on her.
Its embarrassing for NATO to admit that those leaving Afghan are only able because the Taliban let them leave .
Console yourself , but this whole situation makes Joe Biden look inept, out of touch and uncaring

They are here in droves once again, the brain dead conspiracy theorist ditching out their usual lies.
Which airport are these cultists referring to ?,
The Kabul international airport under the control of US army where planes lands and takes off every hour evacuating citizens and foreign citizens?
What are these people going to get from this disinformation??No single Afghan citizen has been killed or prevented not to talk of foreigners in their attempt to leave the country .
Na wa o … some people thrive in falsehoods just to appease their deluded minds.
the US Marine are in control of the airport? Correct.
To get to the airport you use the roads the Taliban are in control.

Biden has not spoken to a single world leader - not even the best of U.S allies - since the event of Taliban takeover of Afghanistan

Wow!!!
They know he does not know anything and is incapable of dealing with a situation his handlers have not prepared him for.
He went back to his vacation after his 16 minute speech. He took no questions from the media at this crisis time.
Aljazeera commented that even the Taliban are taking questions from the media.

The Taliban have formed a ring around their Airport, blocking exit from foreigners resident in Afghanistan. Most planes that arrive leave empty.

Now wait for it!!















The White house is trusting and hoping that the Taliban would somehow allow U.S citizens a "safe passage" to leave without harm.

This same Taliban that has been shouting "Death to America" shocked
And the taliban are checking phones and docs of afghans making their way to the airport to find out if they were cooperating with the coalition forces
Roughly more than 10k American citizens are still in Afghanistan.

I posted from Aljazeera which reported the transcript of the press conference. It's only fair that you post a truthful reporting too.
You play games.
I would like a list of which source not to quote
Because what Talibans say is more believable than Sean Hannity. Can we agree the taliban spokeman Mujahid XYZ is more believable than Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson?

[quote author=Tdotbluejays post=104908071][/quote] The rights of women in Afghanistan will be
respected "within the framework of Islamic
law", the Taliban say.
In the group's first news conference since
taking control of the country on Sunday, a
spokesman said women would be free to
work but gave little detail about other rules
and restrictions.
Zabihullah Mujahid repeated that all Afghans
must live "within the framework of Islam
"We are going to allow women to work and
study within our frameworks," he said.
"Women are going to be very active within our
society."
But he did not expand when asked about
dress codes and what roles women would be
able to have within the country's workforce.



See how media misreports. Same spokesperson reported differently. He is being openly vague, saying things media wanted to hear then.
The women can be free to work in their houses or in offices that are wionen only.For university they can be free to study online.

In the meantime the Taliban are blocking foreigners from leaving. My own understanding of the Taliban is that they won't let the foreigners leave until they are given foreign aid.

New Zealand is an island with few people. They can afford it. Most of their revenue is from agriculture. They can lock down and continue selling those products, meanwhile billionaires are buying their citizenship for this very reason - safety.
NZ .It took one nutcase killing 49 for semiautomatic weapons ban and mandatory buy back.
I thought that was overreaching 99.9 % punished because of a 0.1% is way too much.

Compare COVID-19 .First case in 6 months snd all are locked down.

Obama wanted Assad out. He armed moderate sunni militias who were infact radical jihadists who later became ISIS. Obana lied about it and called the IS a JV team that would seemingly go away.

The IS with weapons from Obama killed, raped, tortured and enslaved thousands of the Yazidi.

Thousands of reasons to love Obama. Im guessing the church story is fake.

I love President Obama not because he's a homeboy from Chitown but his rags to rich story is something everyone should be proud of. Here's a man whose father came from Kenya to study in US and met his mother and his father died young and so was his mother. He was raised by his white grandparents who did their best and he became a Law Professor and State Senator in Illinois before graduating to US Senator and pronto to the highest post in the land. That brother still enjoys wild popularity not only in America but the world. Compare that to the vile racist Pig known as Trump who is the biggest scammer more so than Bernie Mardoff in America's history. A Billionaire that constantly begs for money from his brainless Appalachian and Redneck supporters who are living on public dough.
Reasons to Love Obama with every fiber in your body .

Can you describe what happened at
Sinjar two years ago?
The attack was launched around 2
a.m. in the morning on Aug. 3.
Within a few hours isis seized
control of Sinjar district, a home to
about 350,000 Yazidis. They gave the
Yazidis one choice, convert or die.
They drove these choices from their
interpretation of Shari‘a law, as they
see Yazidis as “infidels.” Many men,
including some elderly and disabled
people who were unable to make
the escape to Mount Sinjar, were
killed. After killing the men, they
took women and children into
captivity. For the village of Kocho,
my village, we could not make the
escape and ISIS reached us in the
early hours of the morning. They
put the village under siege until Aug.
15. On that day they separated the
men and killed them, and they took
us, the women and children. I was
also, like every other women, girl,
or child from Kocho, taken into
captivity. There were about 1,100 of
us. These attacks happened suddenly
and in just a minute we have seen
ourselves powerless people within
hands of thousands of terrorists
when nobody had defended us.

What became of your friends and
family after ISIS attacked?
On Aug. 15, ISIS separated about 700
men and young boys from the
families and took them to the
outskirts of the village and
massacred them. Six of my brothers
were killed with the men. We
believe they were killed because
about 16 men from the village
survived the massacres and they
later told us that all men were
killed. After driving us from Kocho
to the Institute of Sinjar near Sinjar
city, they took my mother and
around 60 other women and killed
them too. ISIS was not interested in
enslaving them as they were old. We
were not sure of their death until
this area was recaptured and a mass
grave was found. All in all, 18
individuals from my family are
missing including my six brothers
and my mother, my brothers’ wives,
my nephews and nieces.


What happened to you after leaving
Sinjar?
I was taken with some 150 girls,
ranging in age from about 9 to 28
years old, to Mosul where we were
distributed from the distribution
centers. In these centers, ISIS
militants and others will come and
take us and use us for as long they
wished, then return us to the center.
I was like all other women and girls,
raped and tortured.

Taliban has officially asked all American troops out by Sep 11.

Taliban confirms islamic law shall guide the rights of women. No school, no going out uncovered,who knows what else. (Effeminate men bound to be happy about this.)

Taliban spokesman when asked about freedom of speech retorted * Go ask Facebook".

Do people go on lockdown each time a case is detected?
And they Aucklanders are not also sure its the Indian variant because tests do not reveal the Delta one. They were waiting for genome sequencing to confirm if its the delta variant.

This was not an agreement, it was a surrender. The US surrendered to the Taliban on February 29 2020 and effectively handed over Afghanistan to the Taliban.


The US released 5,000 Taliban fighters along with its leader. Shebi the US says they don't negotiate with terrorists?

See a screenshot of the agreement below with emphasis on the bolded section. You will see that it was a complete surrender, with the only Condition being that the Taliban guarantees that a Taliban controlled Afghanistan would not be used as a terrorist base from which to launch attacks on the U.S. and it allies.

How the US will enforce the guarantee once she withdraws all troops is a mystery to me.the the US population would definitely not support a return of US troops to Afghanistan should another Osama bin Laden take refuge in the countery.

Nothing Biden would have done to stop or reverse the process without huge political fall out. Biden's only fault was underestimating the strength of the Taliban and overestimating the strength of the US trained and equipped Afghan military.
Its hard living the life of a Trump hater. The agreement. takes care of terrorism support first, then moves on how the two should engage in dialogue.
At the time Afghan has 4 times more soldiers than Taliban and state of the art hardware .
How this amounts to surrender is stuff left wing media is pushing on guile minds.

The talks had started between the Taliban and govt in Doha

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-54255862

Clearly about how far Islamic laws should be implemented was a hot topic.

The agreement signed was premised o. the US pulling out within 14 months if the Taliban held up the agreement.

on this I would urge you to read Wikipedia, the leftist editors have nit slanted it as of now to malign Trump. Article sounds factual with no bias.

When he talks trash about me I prove him wrong. Like when he saw my car and his reaction, the jealousy and envy that manifest from him. He said I have not left Nigeria before and I showed him evidence of me in France and Scotland 1month apart. Everything we know about him we found out ourselves.

He is a millionaire but nothing about him says he is. His children are struggling but he wants to feed peoples generation or donate to charity but his daughter is on gofundme trying to bury her mother he used to secure his visa
i engage him just for kicks. He is a baby in a grown up's body. He has never contributed anything of substance ever . I seek to. learn nothing from him, for he has nothing
