So lets see our small number of troops are surrounded by 20,000 Taliban who are heavily armed with the US weapons that they took possession of. As Biden just left them behind. I have heard that it could be a blood bath for our troops and those from Britain. Does anyone think that this would have happened under Trump?

Whomever is puling the strings for Biden is the one authorizing the troop buildup, not Biden. He is so senile he cannot find his butt with both hands.

Yet the news media keeps saying..”Biden Authorizes troops blah blah blah!”

Extraordinary scenes of #Afghanistan’s military fleeing to #Iran with advanced equipment, likely supplied by US. Iran’s defense industries will want to get their hands on that equipment

Good job Joe, we literally just gave Iran our weapons

I’m getting some news on this. 3,000 from the 82nd are in country + 1,000 other were already on the ground, mostly Marines, some of which arrived yesterday. There are others from the 82nd boarding planes as I write this. I will not disclose their current location, but it is not Kuwait as previous reported, and the number aligns to the current news.

If we had a commander in chief and flag officers of the type we should have it would end with 20,000 dead Taliban.

so much news flying out of there (no pun intended) it’s tough to tell what exactly is true... but it appears the Taliban may already in the city.. if that’s the case.. Kabul falls within 24 hours. Biden’s troops will show up to a fight that’s already happened.

I’m surprised Rivera is broadcasting our exact movements.

I'm just shocked that our diversity didn't win. I though diversity was our strength. How did their non-diversity beat our diversity?— Big Dada Amin (@BigDadaAmin) August 14, 2021

I reckon we need about 25,000 to do the job right.

Only the troops, AKA Cannon fodder, singled out as "conservatives" I'm sure.
