The scramble to evacuate U.S. personnel as Taliban have entered Kabul. The Taliban have entered the Afghan capitol of Kabul and in a scene reminiscent of the evacuation of Saigon Vietnam in 1975 military helicopters are flying round the clock to evacuate personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.
The embassy reinforced with Marines and the Kabul airport surrounded by 1,000 U.S. troops the Biden administration is under immense pressure to get personnel out quickly and safely. In an epic failure of policy, the withdrawal of American Troops from Afghanistan has led to the blitzkrieg takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban terror group. The current Afghan president Ashraf Ghani has already fled the country. Can you blame him, he would most assuredly be executed by the Taliban if captured. All of this while our fearless leader is hiding out at Camp David on Vacation.
Reports of Taliban executing surrendering Afghan troops are circulating. One video from a few weeks back show the Taliban machine gunning Afghan Special Forces Soldiers after they surrender. Also in the minds of the Afghan people is reports of young girls being married off to Taliban fighters to basically become sex slaves. Anyone who knows what the Taliban are really like knows they consider livestock more valuable than the lives of women.
A Taliban spokesman issued a statement that they are awaiting the “peaceful transition of power”. The civilized world knows this is nothing but propaganda and a lie. They are going to tighten their grip and dispose of all opposition. Even as I write this article I switch to reading news articles and now I am seeing that it is being reported that the Kabul airport is now under fire from the Taliban terrorists. See coverage from multiple new sources on Google News. Did President Biden even have a plan. Now the U.S. has to scramble to evacuate U.S. personnel as Taliban have entered Kabul
Americans citizens and Afghan nationals scheduled to evacuate are now being told to shelter in place. Other countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy are scrambling as well to get their Soldiers and citizens out of the country as well. One has to wonder what the response will be, will those 5,000 Marines and Soldiers President Biden sent hold them back. I like to think they will take out as many of the terrorists as they can. When will the bombing runs start to protect the evacuating personnel. This is a really sad day for American on the world stage.
America has lost all credibility and the Biden Administration will probably scratch its head wondering why no one wants assistance or help from the United States. China and Russia are probably toasting Champagne at the utter failure and incompetence of President Biden and his administration. There are reports that China and Russia are ready to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Taliban as the new Afghan government.
