Afghanistan updates: Chaos at Kabul airport, world responds:

#ABCNews #Afghanistan #Taliban #Biden
Listening to this, I’m angered by the sheer idiocy of the Biden Afghanistan exit.
When asked ‘Can you get the remaining Americans and Afghanistan interpreters out of Afghanistan at this point?’, the response is ‘We believe we can…’. I’m sorry but that’s just not good enough. In a crisis of your own making, ‘we believe’ is just unacceptable. What idiots!
its because buden cut off their funding. The Afghanistan army had no money. Would you fight if you had no money?
I like how they phrase it (we gave lists to the Taliban for groups of people so they can travel to the airport). Well? Groups technicality means everyone. Not just the people on the buss. Because as they said just show up with a passport and you can get on the plane. In order to do that the Taliban would need the full list. Right? Since they were controlling who got in.
Dismissing Afghan army after taking away their reconnaissance, intelligence and air support. That’s a good look indeed 🙄
National Security Advisor ???? His age alone is absurd.
wtf was expected when there was no strategy in place to make up for a loss in reinforcements as result of American troops pulling out
ATTENTION: FAKE NEWS MEDIA STATIONS AND DEMOCRATIC VOTERS – MANY OR THE LARGE MAJORITY OF YOU VOTED AGAINST TRUMP, YOU ATTACKED HIM 24/7, YOU DID NOT GIVE HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW HOW MUCH MORE HE WAS GOING TO DO IN HIS 2ND TERM AND YOU DECIDED TO LISTEN AND PROTECT AT ALL COSTS THE CORRUPTION OF THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS WHO ARE AMONG THE WORST EVER ASSEMBLED OR SEEN IN AMERICAN POLITICS. YOU ALL WANTED AND DECIDED TO PLAY STUPID TO ALL THE WRONG DOING OF THESE MORON DEMOCRATIC LEADERS AND NOW WE ARE ALL PAYING FOR THOSE MISTAKES THAT YOU MADE. I HOPE THAT NOW YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU NEED TO HAVE VERY SMART, PREPARED AND COMPETENT LEADERS LEADING OUR COUNTRY LIKE TRUMP INSTEAD OF THESE DEMOCRATIC MORONS WHO ARE NOT FIT TO LEAD. IF YOU DON'T LIKE TRUMP, JUST DON'T LISTEN TO HIM BUT SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES HOW SMART HE IS WHEN LEADING OUR COUNTRY, KEEP LAW AND ORDER AND PRODUCE RESULTS. I HOPE YOU ALL TAKE THIS IN CONSIDERATION IF YOU WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR AMERICA.
The Taliban's takeover in Afghanistan is to blame on Afghan political leaders who fled the country and the unwillingness of the US-trained Afghan army to fight the militant group.
The problem of Biden (usa) is all "bussines" that him and her family have with china, I will not be surprised if china was blackmail him, threatening to expose all her "businnes"
More lies and coverup for Biden, obvious! I’d hate to have this guy’s job and lie like this, totally humiliating! Be a man and stand up for truth! Good reporting finally from ABC!
Joe n his whole team r a joke 😂😂🤦ðŸÂ¿â€Â♂ï¸Â
Oh look the guy screamed Russia Russia for four years . Atlantic : " in 2010, he ( Biden) told Richard Holbrooke, Obama's special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan ,that the U.S.had to leave Afghanistan regardless of the consequences for women or any one else..when he asked about American obligation to Afghans like the girl in the Kabul schools ,Biden replied with a history lesson from the final u.s. withdrawal from southeast Asia in 1973 : F*** that , we don't have to worry about that .We did it in Vietnam , Nixon and Kissinger got away with it "
I really like George's hair.
ðŸâ€Â§
Biden & his team always are chirping about a insignificant threat…. Russia, Russia, Russia. In their obsession with Russia, they have screwed up badly in Afghanistan. Looks like Biden prefers hosting the Taliban chief rather than Putin in the White House.
Sullivan is a baby 👶, a child. He can't live up to the standards set by former NSAs like Condolezza Rice.
ABC has no credibility like Biden. George is a Clinton operative.
During the recent Quad Summit :
Australia: “ China giving nuclear threatsâ€Â
Japan : “ China creating tensions in South China Seaâ€Â
India : “ Taliban making rapid progress in Afghanistan threatening our assetsâ€Â
SLEEPY JOE : “LET’S TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE…â€Â
Blinks 5 times and Blinken says my diapers are wet daddy 😂😂😂
Part of the problem with politics is all these advisors everyone talks about what prestigious college they went to what degrees they got what companies they blah blah blah these people are idiots if you want to get the country back on track you should start getting advisors that are people that are like I don't know 45-year-old construction workers who have been working their ass off their whole life and still have nothing to show for it because of the way the system works these people would be able to give you some good solid advice
Well don't I feel stupid I been blaming this on Biden my bad I didn't know he was getting advice from idiots like this
There can be no beating around the bush. This was an INTELLIGENCE FAILURE of Epic proportion. While it was being reported that the Taliban was about to surround Kabul, these scoundrels were already in Kabul and deeply embedded in the population. They then appear as from nowhere to take over the city with hardly a shot being fired. Taliban are no Houdini. They must have gotten help from outside, and with the passing of time, the World will know Who.
"National Security Advisor". Lol.
Unbelievable. Total incompetence. From the top down.
This callow youth has helped bring about the worst strategic disaster since the Civil War, which may eventually lead to war with China. Academic life today, particularly in Ivy League puzzle palaces of the 2000s run by Marxists, subtracts from any bright boy or girl’s ability to evaluate real world risks that could lead to war. Biden’s epochal stupidity combined with this kid’s lack of life experience is a recipe for disaster.
This is why the government should not take citizens guns. If guns are gone the citizens will be helpless.
Hey national security guy…how about closing the southern border..Biden is again placing all Americans in harms way..close the border now before you allow more terror cells to establish in our country…George..you are a communist tool. Your bias is placing All Americans in harms way deplorable..you should be ashamed of the lies you are telling the American people
Dude is a total lizard
The Biden Administration- a complete dereliction of duty and catastrophe of epic proportions.
May result in the worst “non planned Evacuation in historyâ€Â
This administration, not just Biden but all his Liberal idiot minions need to be removed and jailed.
Equipment is of no use. What Afghanistan needs the will to fight. Is it common sense?
Buhbidenstan
Well at least we successfully built the world's largest terrorist organization, gave them hundreds of billions of dollars worth of cutting edge military weapons and equipment, and inspired more of them to fight us. They went from a few old radicals hiding in caves to a giant army succeeding at a national takeover. At least now the enemy has drones and helicopters and tanks to strike us with, and at least now they can continue sawing women's heads off and throwing gays off buildings without any consequence. At least now the enemy is equipped to fight an even war with us, so that next time we invade them it will be a fair fight. We always come back, and it's worse every time. In 20-30 years when they are fighting us with these weapons we left for them, no one will hardly remember any of this. It's a scam. It's seriously just a deliberate plot to build an enemy, so that we have a war to stimulate the economy in the future. What a joke, we aren't stupid.
This idiot is a drone!
Why are we accepting the impotence of the American Military.
They are acting like little girls.
Any Democrat up for midterm re-election avoiding Biden like the plague. Biden so toxic.
This national security advisor has Biden’s ass on his lips
Its nice ole joe trust the taliban so much he gave them all the firepower to protect themselfs from the the us army
55000 Afghanistan's have died fighting the Taliban since 2014. Biden screwed them by pulling Air support and our mechanics. 0 combat deaths of US military in the last 18 months. What a disaster that didn't need to happen.
You’re going down too now Jake!
I guess that Gay Pride flag that the U.S. Embassy flew last month did not go to well with the Afghan people..
Should have followed Trump's plan. Gen Milley and Biden failed.
I don't get, why were there so many American still over in Afghanistan. If I knew that we had a hard date set to leave, I would have been out of there way before time.
So many dislikes
It all could have gone smoothly. The military should have been there until everyone was out. The allies could have assisted. Then the military leaves. The Taliban would have stood down. So simple.
This was Biden mess and he should be impeached The days of terrorism and stoning woman are back on the Menu
Are you happy with Biden? You can’t just be against Trump; you actually have to be for a competent candidate. The get him out at all costs mentality has got us to this outcome.
Of course you spend trillions to trillions dollars in Afghanistan
Us steal our everything gold diamond
Local afghan not allowed where gold diamonds aluminium
Us play double gam in Afghanistan
Us giving money to create taliban
Stop killing Afgan
One fool playing footsies with another fool
Let's break down Afghanistan and Taiwan comparison.
Afghanistan:
– Export Opium to the world
– Extremely high illiteracy rate
– New government that suppresses the rights of women and girls
– Taliban, no nuclear missiles and no match for the US
– Disregard International Rules
– US abandon Afghanistan and wants nothing to do with them now in terms of standing up to their government
Taiwan:
– World semi-conductor exporter, China export high technology and engineers to the world
– Illiteracy rate is lower than the US for both Taiwan and China
– China, a Nuclear state adversary of ours, capable of turning our country and allies to dust
– Taiwanese and Chinese have the same DNA
– Taiwanese and Chinese women have the same rights as men
– US will never abandon Taiwan, we are willing to risk WW3 to defend Taiwan?
Conclusion:
– Our moral compass is a little off here if we choose to defend Taiwan should China ever try to reclaim Taiwan
– Same goes for any other our light-minded allies like India, Australia and Japan with Democratic values after they too turned their back on Afghanistan
– It's obvious that we only use Taiwan to contain China and willing to start WW3 if we choose to go to war with China over Taiwan
– We gave up on the Taliban Government but we choose to fight a nation who eliminated extreme poverty, #1 in 5G, leads in solar energy, electric vehicles, drones, space program including space wars and has their space station, # 1 in world population, leads in quantum physic and computers, leader in high speed rails, 2nd in GDP soon to over take US, largest Navy in the world, largest arm forces in the world, has their own GPS System(Beidou), leads in digital currency, leader in robotic, has the most engineers and leader in biotech and many other areas.
Our objective is clear as Americans if we choose to defend Taiwan. We will never relinquish our position as #1 in the world. We will end humankind to retain our #1 position if China threaten our position. US and our light-minded nations also include Japan, Australia and India that will risk WW3 to stop a conflict between 2 states of the same people with the same DNA, who are we kidding?
I love this great country of ours but perhaps we let China and Taiwan sort out their differences. We need to prioritize our objectives for our own citizens in education, innovation, science and engineering, focus on giving ALL of our citizens the opportunity to better themselves and not just the selected few who are born with privileges. If we fail the majority of our citizens I'm afraid it's going to be a long road for us as a nation and a reality we do not want to face.
