A Taliban Hostage Crisis Will Make the Iran Hostage Crisis Look Like a Little Kid's Birthday Party.

Imagine 5200 hostages instead of 52. In a land-locked country surrounded by nations either hostile to us or not very friendly.

Not to mention the NATO Forces and their civilians trapped by the middle-of-the-night abandonment of the country by sippy-cup biden, without even a phone call to the countries of the forces incountry

@sunsporter1649 Sippy-cup Hidin' Insurrectionist Baby-trump once said he would go in alone to save the kids from a school shooting. I'm sure he would move his fat frame to Afghanistan to rescue the hostages. And, imagine the mileage you could get from that meme.

As you know, I was against the pull-out.

But keep in mind, this was a bi-partisan abandonment of the Afghan people.

@beckyromero As long as you believe that....

@beckyromero Could be a terrorist actor.

@beckyromero Sad that you think President Trump would have left in the middle of the night and left 10,000 Americans behind

Biden has to deal and own the chaotic final pullout.

But Trump birthed the withdrawal. He owns it.

@beckyromero You really think President Trump would have left in the middle of the night and said to hell with you 10,000 Americans? Sad

@sunsporter1649 You're joking, right?

@sunsporter1649 Democrats are busy trying to dodge responsibility for this utter fiasco that they own.

Of course he would have. He left his own vice president to a mob of seditionists bent on hanging him.

Now, me? I wouldn't have pulled out to begin with.

But an agreement to do so at minimum:

- should have specified that the Taliban could not enter Kabul and a few other named cities until a certain date

- should have INCREASED American troop level to ensure a more orderly withdrawal of U.S. and other civilians, including Afghan allies

- should have insured that we took with us all our equipment

@beckyromero And you think President Trump would have just left in the middle of the night. Sad
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@sunsporter1649 And, you think sippy-cup Hidin' Insurrectionist Baby-trump is helping these fools...

Yes, I do.

In fact, he'd have probably invited the Taliban to a going away dinner party.

@beckyromero ... at the White House.

@MarkPaul

On the anniversary of 9/11.

This is what it would have looked like:

@sunsporter1649

Don't you recall that I was against the Iran nuclear deal?
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@sunsporter1649 Of course he would have. Though I'm having a tough time understanding what those Americans left in Kabul were doing there in the first place.

You had to seriously not be paying attention to be surprised by the American pullout and the Taliban advance. We all knew about it on this side of the world.
@sunsporter1649 No warning at all for NATO forces, not even a call, that's what you believe??? Really? So when Trump said he'd pull out in Jan and then made a deal for May 2021 that was all kept secret somehow, right Sporty?
