The embassy would hold them for safety. That seems reasonable. Except that everything was burned. |
Yup. Even here in US I hand over my passport, sometimes for months, to embassies when I need a visa for all sorts if travel. |
I have only voted Dem in my whole life and I hate us being forever mired in the Middle East. However I object to the humanitarian crisis that is spiraling out of control because of this pull out. We have to help the women and children. I don't know how. But I can't see just abandoning these people to the Taliban. |
There was a humanitarian crisis already going on in Afghanistan while we were there. Were you aware of it? |
Of course billions aren't sitting under a mattress. The USA overspent and overloaded the mission in Afghanistan. We look at that grossly oversized Embassy as a comp to politically inspired local bond projects that were not needed. Iran? It was mentioned as some private citizens and possible govt money. Do I care? I care about our money flowing. After the mess at the airport and everything including lives we have poured into that country ... FYI now they are even complaining that we are evacuating our service dogs. Highly trained and weigh about 75 pounds apiece. They are living equipment. https://twitter.com/RichardEngel?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor |
LOL and that's just the money you see. The real money you'll never see - the money the U.S. spent funding, training and arming the Taliban. |
No one else knows how either. If you can figure it out, I will nominate you for a Nobel. |
There is no way for you to help the Afghan women or children so it is best that you stop concerning yourself with them. There were women and children in Afghanistan before the Taliban, during and after them. Life goes on. |
Prescient:
Q: Your own intelligence community has assessed that the Afghan government will likely collapse. BIDEN: That is not true, they did not reach that conclusion… There is going to be no circumstance where you see people lifted off the roof of an embassy… The likelihood that you’re going to see the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely. |
Did you read the thread from the DAB governor? |
Hopefully you keep scans or digits images of it! |
As I said, it was not the embassy roof. It was the Zen Garden, a completely different circumstance. Next question. |
I don’t know how many passports we are talking a out but even if it was a thousand seems like they could have put them in a box and put them on a plane so at least it would help with refugee processing or to somehow get back into country. |
Why don’t you step up? Do you have any sons or daughters you would like to volunteer to fight for these Afghanistan? How about yourself? I am sure you can go down to the local recruiting center? |
