As concerned as I am about American citizens it seems all our allies in Afghanistan have nationals trapped who are fearing for their lives. These nations have absolutely no leverage over the Taliban to help their citizens. In some cases there are thousands of people from allied nations trapped. Our allies begged Biden to extend the dead line and Biden refused. What a mess.

In 1842. the British pulled out of Kabul and 30,000 people, soldiers and citizens died at the hand of the Taliban then. That was almost 200 years ago and the lesson is still not learned.

The history of the Taliban is crucial in understanding their success now – and also what might...
A historian explains how the Taliban emerged out of the decades of chaos that followed the Saur Revolution in Afghanistan in 1978.

LTC David Brown - Most of the troops in 1842 were Indian in ethnicity, they were part of the British empire and so were called British troops....not so much though. Taliban are fundamentalists in their religious belief. 1842 the Afghans fighting the British were traditionalist and supported Persian rule. Additionally, that whole war was more against the tenets of the East Indian Trading Company more than anything else. Natives fought against same Company in the Carribean, it was horribly exploitive of native populations.

This is another extension of the Democrats "Win at all costs" political strategy which most saw at the time was a slippery slope. So now American lives are no longer above the bar of political costs to win the next election. Leave Americans behind in a hostile country if you have to win the next election with a political slogan has now become OK and a rational choice in view of some Democrats, including POTUS.

BS. Trump made the peace deal and did nothing for 6 months. Biden got out nearly 150,000 people. So, cry on your Trumpie Bear.

Well, one can pay the tax and be a second class citizen along with women. Or, submit to the religion of Submission. If one desires to flee, the river should take you to the border of Pakistan.
Make sure you purify your water. those folks dump sewage into that river.
