Joe is dancing to the tune of the Taliban, rather than doing all that’s necessary to protect Americans. Carter might have failed with Iran, but, at least he tried
First US troops have started leaving Afghanistan as Biden decides not to extend withdrawal deadline
Several hundred US troops have left Afghanistan, on the same day President Joe Biden decided not to extend the August 31 evacuation deadline, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby confirmed Tuesday evening.
“These troops represent a mix of headquarters staff, maintenance and other enabling functions that were scheduled to leave and whose mission at the airport was complete. Their departure represents prudent and efficient force management. It will have no impact on the mission at hand,” Kirby said in a statement, confirming CNN’s earlier reporting from two defense officials that the US’ troop withdrawal from Afghanistan had kicked off.
The fact that a small number of American troops have already left underlines how quickly the situation is moving. The pace of evacuations has rapidly ramped up in recent days but with a week until Biden’s deadline, the US military will soon be forced to switch from transporting Americans and Afghans out to concentrating on safely moving all the troops out and winding down the security operation at the airport.
They’re in the military, right? They can pick up a weapon and protect the airport, protect Americans. Of course, Team Joe won’t let them go and bring Americans to the airport

They may have recalled it, but, that’s what they mean. Americans are on their own
Boris Johnson today pleaded with the Taliban to allow people to leave Afghanistan after the US has completed its withdrawal on August 31.
Mr Johnson, Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel used a G7 summit to urge Joe Biden to extend the deadline to provide more time for airlifts from Kabul airport to take place.
But the entreaties appear to have fallen on deaf ears with the Mr Biden expected to stick to his exit date for US forces.
A humiliated Mr Johnson said after the summit that the UK will continue to conduct airlifts from the country ‘right up until the last moment’ as he called on the Taliban to guarantee ‘safe passage’ for anyone who wants to leave after August 31.
The Taliban today repeated blood-curdling warnings of consequences if there was an attempt to extend the deadline as the group said no-one would be permitted to leave.
‘All people should be removed prior to that date,’ a spokesman told a press conference in the capital. ‘After that we do not allow them. We will take a different stance.’
According to Reuters, the Pentagon told Mr Biden the risks to American forces are too high if they defy the Taliban.
First, it would be great if there was a leak on the conference call Johnson, Merkel, and Macron surely had after talking with Surrender Joe. It would surely be brutal. Especially on how they can no longer depend on Joe. We already know they’re turning to Russia for help. Second, isn’t that the job of American forces, to safeguard Americans? Especially when the US government created the danger for the citizens?
Even Canada is trying to stay in Afghanistan to rescue people. Not #SurrenderJoe https://t.co/v19UrFlcgn

Justin Trudeau has more cajones than Biden, and seems concerned with protecting Canadian citizens.
Trump after releasing 5000 Taliban prisoners first promised to remove all troops by Christmas then extended it to last May
If the troops are not out the 30000 plus Taliban may attack and close tge airport
You seem to have forgotten that it was Trump who surrendered and freed those 5000 Taliban
Should we expect the Taliban to treat any captured Americans better than we treated them while they were our Prisoners?
This fiasco is all on Saigon Joey.
Trump has nothing to do with it.
Back to your bong.
Bwaha! Lolgf
“Should we expect the Taliban to treat any captured Americans better than we treated them while they were our Prisoners?”
Do you lay awake at night trying to dream up your dumbest question ever or do they just come naturally?
Again, did we treat the captured Taliban poorly? And if for some reason you believe we did do you believe we treated them worse than the Taliban treats any prisoners? Usually the Taliban just cuts their hands and/or their heads off or in the case of women an fags rapes/stones them or throws them off buildings. Did we do that to our prisoners cause I remember when a few morons put a leash on them and was drummed out of the service. No blood was shed and a big ado about dunking them in water.
