He has his boss (China) telling him what to do .... Sarcasm used entirely in this post.

U.S. Embassy tells Americans NOT to go to Kabul airport due to 'security threats from ISIS': Warning comes as Pentagon again contradicts Biden's claim there's 'no indication' the Taliban is stopping citizens

  • The U.S. Embassy told Americans on Saturday not to go to Kabul airport because of 'security threats' outside its gates - reportedly coming from ISIS
The U.S. Embassy issued a stern warning to Americans on Saturday not to go to Kabul airport because of 'security threats' outside its gates - reportedly coming from ISIS - a day after President Joe Biden vowed to bring citizens and Afghan allies home.

U.S. officials said the most serious threat to the airport is Afghanistan’s branch of the Islamic State, which would hurt Americans in the country and challenge the Taliban's control, The New York Times and Associated Press reported.

'Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so,' the Embassy warning says.

No worries, Janet Yellen has sanctioned them too and Biden has been given pinky promises.
 
How many of the 9/11 hijackers were Afghani?

What percentage of the Al-Qaeda in Iraq and Syria were Afghani?

I know this is difficult for you but it was formed by fighters in the Afghan war directly in response to their victory over the Soviets. Where they were born originally is irrelevant. If there had been no Afghan war there wouldn’t be an Al Qaeda and there wouldn’t be a Taliban.

Hundreds of Released Gitmo Detainees Back To Killing Americans

guantanamo-main.jpg


Twenty years after the 9/11 attacks, U.S. intelligence documents reveal 229 “rehabbed” former Gitmo detainees have returned to terrorism and killing Americans — and an alarming 66% of them have not been recaptured and are still at large.

Meanwhile, President Biden is quietly freeing more of these terrorist suspects from the Guantanamo Bay prison, all to fulfill his old boss’ pledge to permanently close the facility in Cuba.

Shortly after taking office, Biden reversed President Trump’s executive order to keep Gitmo open and is lining up inmates to transfer out of the prison with the goal of emptying it and shuttering it — even though the remaining prisoners have long been classified by military intelligence as the worst of the worst and too dangerous to release.

Thanks, Joe. Maybe one of those will find his way to the WH & thank-you for it personally.
 
Oh, they warned Blinken? Now it makes sense why this has gone so poorly.

View attachment 388445

Blinken is like Kuschner..black suit and all.
And a man that is of Eurocentric French persuasion. Maybe that is why the French embassy was evacuated before US citizens.


IOW.....creep
 
Ramstein Air Base in Germany prepares to house Afghanistan evacuees

A U.S. air base in Germany was preparing to house evacuees arriving from Afghanistan, Air Force officials said Friday.

"Ramstein Airmen have been preparing around-the-clock to provide support, such as temporary lodging, as the base receives aircraft carrying evacuees in the coming days," Ramstein Air Base tweeted.

Hundreds who fled Kabul after the Taliban takeover, including many Afghan families, were scheduled to arrive at the base from Qatar, Stars and Stripes reported.

The base can house up to 5,000 evacuees who will eventually be removed to more permanent housing, the U.S. Embassy in Berlin said without specifying where, according to Stars and Stripes.

Where does the Taliban get its Money and who's funding the militant group in Afghanistan?

Afghanistan, among poorest nations in the world, is heavily dependent on American aid

The Taliban, on the heels of a steady, monthslong military blitz, retook control of Afghanistan last week, just four months after President Biden announced he would withdraw U.S. troops from the embattled nation and nearly 20 years after the militant group was first ousted.

Afghanistan, already one of the poorest countries in the world, is heavily dependent on American aid. About 80% of the nation's budget is funded by the U.S. and other international donors, according to John Sopko, the special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction.

Within days of the Taliban consolidating power in Kabul, the Treasury Department froze Afghan government reserves stored in U.S. banks, depriving the group of billions of dollars in aid.

"They're awash with cash," Gretchen Peters, executive director of the Center on Illicit Networks and Transnational Organized Crime, told NPR. "The Taliban has been earning far more from trafficking drugs and other illicit activity, ranging from extortion rackets to timber trafficking, artisanal mining, kidnapping schemes, for almost two decades now."

What was formed in Afghanistan? The Taliban or Al-Qaeda?

Hopefully we are going to leave all of the Afghans in Europe since they are so big on wanting immigrants, especially Germany and we have our hands full with the southern border.

I can't wait for some of these Arab countries to take in refugees... or Israel for that matter.

It's a better fit for the Arab countries to take these refugees in than it is to dump them in the US. Mass dumping of broken countries refugees into the US hasn't exactly worked out too well for the US. Look at the Somalis in Minnesota. They turned a once peaceful and tranquil part of the country into a s***hole.
