If Dan Bongino is right, thr Taliban have biometric data on Afghanis that helped us. Abandoning Bagram AFB was an idiotic thing to do. Even Stevie Wonder could have sense the stupidity in it. This is going to be a slaughterhouse |

Per NBC
As many as 15,000 Americans remain in Afghanistan after the Taliban's takeover of the country, Biden administration officials told Senate staffers Tuesday, two aides said. Two Senate aides confirmed that they were given that figure in a briefing led by national security and defense officials. The Washington Post first reported that the staffers were told that 10,000 to 15,000 U.S. citizens remain in the country. |

Unicef and organizations like that are full of Americans who are there by choice. The taliban invited them to stay and promised them protection so they're going to stay.

I also don't think the lowly taliban "private", or any other Afghan male, for that matter, gives a flying fuck about optics and would have no problem raping the shit out of some unicef karen. They won't be nearly as safe there as they have been, even if the taliban leadership will let them stay. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Guy I work with called a buddy who just left Kabul (probably knows hoody actually), and he said all the contractors and gov types are gone. If anyone is left they're not associated with the embassy, cia, or any other gov org. This is mostly true. There is a huge American presence outside of the official uncle sugar channels. Everyone thinks of contractors as being the type for KBR, and hired guns but on the flip side there was a fuck ton of us living out in the city. We still did .gov shit but we had our own compounds, security, etc. An example would be what I was doing there. I was making around $1000/day to go to Afg work sites for the .mil and be the US Certified electrician on site. Looking back it was pretty dumb because I drove and was driven all over that shithole in a Surf without much more than a handgun most of the time. I had a clearance so I was able to get Into some really cool secret squirrel locations though. The only way I finally got an LOA and CAC card was because I fixed the access control on the TOC at Camp Phoenix since Fluor kept fucking them around. Getting to finally eat in a DFAC in Afg after being there for well over a year was kinda a nice victory.

I believe the TB are going to smile for the cameras while all the attention is there. There going to let US citizens go and “ others”.
Others is kinda like the southern border. Once things calm down with the news and they move on to something else, say 6 months it will be game on by the TB with hardline rule. |

I think the important number is how many Americans are in Afghanistan and were not advised to leave before now?
My guess is that the NGOs, private citizens, contractors, journalists, and so forth were all advised by the U.S. State Department to leave Afghanistan or at least made aware of the impending withdrawal of U.S. military forces. I mean not to sound like a jerk, but when the USA pulled out of Bagram Airbase that should have been a clue that it was time to maybe leave Afghanistan for a bit and at least wait for things to stabilize. I have to imagine anyone of any intelligence knew that there could be an elevated risk following the turn over of Bagram to the ANA. |

We're going to wind up with dead Americans as a direct result of Joe Biden's incompetence.
I mean, directly as a result. With pictures and everything. We'll probably never have an exact body count on this disaster, either. |
