Afghanistan Falls To The Taliban After US Withdrawal

[CountValentine]

In a letter to President Biden, New Jersey @GovMurphy says his state "stands ready" to "warmly welcome" Afghan refugees who risked their lives to help the United States military, along with their families. pic.twitter.com/FFXcqLCdUK

Hopefully every state will.

Who’s vetting them? How do we know the Taliban and other terrorist aren’t infiltrating?

So should we evacuate those with visas or not?

I think there can be some sort of landing ground where people will be out of immediate danger and can then be vetted before being allowed into my city.

Isn't that what they're doing?

You mean they were not vetted when they received their visa? So the last admin and this admin just gave them to anyone?

So new NBC poll shows Biden’s job approval falling from 53% in April to 49% today. Much smaller drop than many expected. And COVID resurge is as big or bigger factor in the slight decline than Afghanistan. BTW 49% was the highest rating Trump ever achieved in 4 years as POTUS.

I have never seen ABC and CNN quoted so much in this thread. You would think they are now the gold standard.

I think the latest polls show the trend better because Biden continues to get bad press. Reuters is -11 for Biden compared to 8/12

His numbers are going down as they should. Just think what his numbers will look like if they start taking Americans hostage.

Honestly, who cares about his numbers now?!

Taliban knows Iranians better than themselves:

Taliban spokesman: If US announces right now in any country in the world that its planes will take people to America, wouldn't people rush to get on board?
Iranian TV presenter: Iranians wouldn't do so.
Taliban: I'm sure they will. pic.twitter.com/VvyRSzkp0w
