Look, I know this is an emotional thing, but can I just share this. If we are talking about the handling of the case we can’t just focus on one thing, we need to remember these people too, those who helped us. They can’t get out like he can attempt to, they just have to survive it as long as they can. My sympathies are with pen of course, but they are also with these people.
Thing is that a lot of the equipment (especially air based) will require training that the Taliban likely do not have, so a lot of it is useless
Daaaamn, they ducked up big time! I bet it will be buried though and newspapers won’t report on it.
No one has said there isn’t? I’ve not said that only Pen needs help or forgotten that we have majorly let down every Afghan who put their life on the line for us.
it’s undoubtedly within the public interest so deffo should be reported!! It won’t be though.
I don't disagree. I've read reports that a lot of the vehicles/helicopters etc are redundant as they don't have the engineers or knowledge to operate them - however, the fact it's all just been abandoned and a lot of the equipment can be used is just terrifying.
No, but to be fair that has been the focus of a lot of post today, and people have been saying the def sec should go for it etc. And whilst it’s not one or the other, it does feel like the people we wanted to help are being left behind.
What an earth has gone on for this to have happened.
The pentagon has said that they have processed over 104,000+ people through the airport. The suicide bomber at the gate was being searched.
Here is an approximate breakdown by country
Afghanistan: How many people have been evacuated by each country?
Several countries have wound up their evacuation operations already ahead of US forces pulling out at the end of August.news.sky.com
honestly I really hope that this has a lasting impact on US on the international stage. There’s probably a lot of people affected by US calling the shots at the airport in general
Get our boys out! Biden also for that matter
We have UK citizens who has been let down we need to regroup on that Biden is a joker... I know some people might think dogs ain't worth it but they are and Ben blood will be on your hands if you stand back and let this happen I'm.an emotion mess tonight life is a cruel and all we can do atm is pray we have Biden playing with our woman and men's lifes and we are going to leave children there baby's for these idiots nah they should have a plan fuxking bcde for all this and I will be emailing my lovely mp tomorrow JOE FUCKIKG BIDEN YOU ARE twit CHANGING THE RULES OUR THE WHOLE TEAM WOULD BE IN THR AIRPORT AND THRO BUT BEN MY MAN IV NOT FORGOTABOUT YOU YOU PLAYED ABOUT FOR DAYS THEU COULD LF BEEN HOME BY NOW
I know both rescues have
He made it inside but jor Biden changed the rules without telling anyone
I just meant that he is unlikely to make it back to the airport now with all the unrest. His staff are telling him to go but we will see what he decides.Totally agree.
