I know. I just can't stop thinking about it.

You are powerless. Thats not meant to be an insult. Don't add your mental state to the lost of casualties man.

21-year-old student Miles Routledge has fled Afghanistan on board a crowded British military plane after thanking God for helping him flee his holiday around Kabul

Lord Miles Routledge update (I missed it earlier)

Wish they would move to Afghanistan. I'm sure Afghanistan needs the extra help to enforce the new laws.

They are executing people all over the country. Reality might be hard to deal with it but thats reality. They are already marrying off women and killing men. The Taliban is as hard line as ever they are just more savvy in front of cameras.

---

According to whom? The only info I have seen is from neocons with a well known history of lying, leftists with a well known history of lying, the media with a well known history of lying, and clearly old videos not from this situation. What evidence is there that these things are happening?

---

Taliban videos have been available on liveleak for years. Shi$ i don't think even liveleak exists as a site anymore.
But you can find them if you look hard enough..

Or you can pretend otherwise.

The United States Ambassador to the UN just said "our friends and allies are not hanging off planes" and couldn't provide a response (besides laughing) when asked who she identifies as hanging off of planes.

Shameful administration.

Have a clip by chance?

I recorded it on my phone and will figure out how to upload it if it doesn't appear on Twitter soon. She was live on MSNBC a few minutes ago.

Awesome I appreciate it.

What the hell are you smoking that makes you believe anything the taliban says? They're more dishonest than our own government - and that's no easy feat.

---

He is Capitan Positivity....

He might even be right. Disagree that its obvious they are more dishonest than our govt run by the Dems.

Not least because at the moment, they do appear to be allowing the departures.

If they protest in Burkhas or hijabs like seems to be the case there, they just might, just might, win a few concessions or battles. If they outwardly conform, they will have some chance. Let's pray so.

While covered head to toe

They do have a point there. All these recent hyper-Left wing boasting about the military vs American conservatives if they wanted to fully impose socialism have completely, utterly, missed the lessons of the Mideast. One the Taliban has just taught again.

Power is nothing when you have self-serving cowards unwilling to sacrifice making the decisions. That put surviving politically above all other things.

The fact that we are getting significant numbers of people out is a win. Again, over the last day I've been very hopeful that Taliban statements would be honored for now, and so far they seem to have been. The problem with the Taliban as you have a bunch of unsophisticated goons running around who are not always going to follow directions.

Taliban leaders probably aren't going to be happy with people causing problems. Hurts their narrative.

---

They ARE the ****ing problem!! WTH is wrong with you??

---

Look, I've posted before that I've been awake for pretty much four days straight pacing around in circles and I've probably lost over 10 pounds. I can't put this down. I am absolutely devastated. I know what is happening to our Afghan allies. I'm going to take any good news I can right now. Don't really have much else of a choice. A lot of our people are getting out, at least in Kabul.

Very worried about the people outside of that area.

---

Turn off the news, get off social media, if necessary call your Primary Care Physician.

Not a thing up you can do so worrying and personal anxiety needs to end.

Something tells me the right in the USA does not have the will to endure suffering or inflict suffering like the taliban has.

I had no idea who that woman is. She's our UN Ambassador? Lord, help us!

My guess is the state department is offering some money and the commitment to recognizing the taliban as the rightful rulers in the near future. In exchange for not causing problems/attacking during the evacuation.

Biden administration is desperate.

---

Some money? They remember the pallets Iran got for essentially nothing. Slowing down and blocking the exodus of Americans by blockading entry points around the airport has to be worth more than what Iran got for a fake JPOA.

Oh maybe not. Maybe it is not worth that. Franklin may be right about that.

But the point is this assumption that if it did happen, it would be easy completely ignores the Mideast lessons.

There is an alternative view---- if the majority want socialism, than you may have to let them have it, dispose of the indissoluble myth, and a portion of the right go their own way and see what can accomplish. It really depends on what people with kids want and what they want them to grow up in.

Covering for the Taliban as an American should be embarrassing its clear to see who's actually been to Afghanistan and who hasn't.

The Taliban is going to be inclusive lol

---

Frustrating we get more accurate news from foreign sources

---

That has been the case for years now.

Did the Qatari Air Force fly the Taliban's leaders back to Afghanistan on their C-17? https://t.co/EW0FnbeShq
