President Biden deserves to be credited with having the cojones to stand up to the MIC.

Today's State Dept televised briefing.

 

Americans?

 

Americans and American assets.

 

American assets? How much of the some $90 billion in military supplies (including 20 helicopters) do you suppose were lifted out of Afghan? I'll do you a favor by telling you that 0 worth of asset supplies were recovered.

 

Good news - especially if it is 27,000 Americans.

 

Hey Now, where did you hear/see this? I was trying to find some numbers earlier today and all I got was something about there being 1,000-2,000 Americans and Y allies. That seemed significantly lower than what I was expecting which is why I didn't post it.

I know they said a bunch of people are being trampled at the airports and our soldiers are guarding them but there wasn't any info about the head counts. I know it's hard to know until everyone is out of immediate danger but if Biden is sticking to the "out by" 8/31 date, it would help to know where we are in the process.

 

Human assets.

 

It not specifically Americans, it's people, sorry, my bad, it's a thread posted by Bluesguy:

Now it looks like the general count is up to 48,000 as of the 23rd:

Irony DOUBLE DOWN!

 

The military ALWAYS abandons assets when it withdraws...but not at all surprised that the extreme right do NOT know this.
