So not only will they not use US troops to save US citizens (who Biden put in danger by his idiocy- he told them two weeks ago they were not in danger), they are saying it would be "foolish"!
So who will be foolish when the Taliban takes US citizens hostage?
You have this information? When is this scheduled to happen, the hostage taking that you speak of?
Another shocker. The British army, without fanfare or excuses saying that extraction of its citizens is not possible, simply do their jobs and take their citizens out of harms way.
Meanwhile, the confused and weak Biden says that the US military cannot help those stranded in Kabul and that they "are on their own" to make it to the airport and he "cannot guarantee their safety". There was never a question as to whether the soldiers from the UK or its leaders would neglect their own citizens in harms way.
The clown the pretends to be the president is becoming more and more of an embarrassment every day. What is considered "impossible" by him are routine, uneventful tasks by other nations.
No wonder the border is in chaos, inflation rising, crime is rising, and our enemies are pressing their advantage everywhere. Biden is "shown up" by other nations simply performing routine, expected tasks. We must remember, however, that routine tasks DO become challenging to demented patients.
This is no different from Benghazi, in this regard. Obama and Hillary had no contingency plan to deal with the possibility that the Benghazi mission might come under attack, even though it had been bombed and attacked in the past.
Anyone with a brain, watching TV, saw that the Taliban were slowly and surely taking over the entire country. Biden even evacuated Bagram air base back in July. They knew full well that the Taliban surrounding Kabul was not only a possibility, but a certainty. And yet they had no contingency plan to deal with it. Geez, talk about refusing to learn from history, Miley and all those fools need to be fired, or forced to resign.
Actually I think the withdrawal from Afghanistan started back when the American Embassy at Kabul was closed on January 30, 1989, due to concerns that the new regime would not be able to maintain security and protect diplomats following the final departure of Soviet forces from the country.
You have no idea how pist off the Brits are right now at the US.
I mean, they are really, really, pist. Along with other nations of course, but we’re supposed to be bro’s with the UK and we totally ephed up.
The UK is a has been. Especially since they left the EU. They have Zero influence in Europe. We don't need the UK, they are not useful to us anymore.
Yet the negotiations that will matter at the climate talks will be between the US and the EU, and then with China and India. The UK has become a bystander. As for trade, Mr Johnson will have to wait his turn behind Brussels. The EU27 provides a market for about 16 per cent of US exports. The UK takes less than 5 per cent.

So yeah, she's way off.
The new US Embassy in Kabul was finally completed in July 2016 at a cost of $792 Billion.
Because the British Army, the RAF, the Royal Navy, SAS, Marines, etc are true fighting MEN. Not Woke, overly political, corrupted FIGHTING FORCE. God bless them.
How many would the Brits and French rescue if 5000 American troops hadn't taken over the airport?
Complete deflection ignoring the Biden created crisis and his refusal to help Americans HE placed in peril.
That is conjecture that assumes the Brits and French would have just abandoned their citizens if US troops were not at the airport- unlikely- they are committed to remove their citizens, come hell or high water.
YOU MISSED THE ENTIRE POINTS HERE:
1. There is a crisis of stranded US civilians due to Biden's incompetency
a. two weeks ago he assured american citizens they were in no danger
b. Biden ignored the advice of his military advisors and removed troops PRIOR TO ASSURING THE SAFETY OF US CIVILIANS.
2. The US COULD extract US civilians in Kabul, as other nations are doing, but CHOOSE to abandon them
a. there are far more US troops than British or UK troops to extract US civilians
b. The US told US citizens they "could not guarantee their safety", abandoning them.
c. Biden and the dems on the Armed Services Committe say it is "FOOLISH" to attempt to save US citizens
3. Biden has ASSUMED the Taliban is allowing US citizens through checkpoints to the airport
a. there is no evidence at all that The Taliban is allowing US citizens through checkpoints
b. The Taliban has no intention of cooperating with the Biden admin- they gain nothing.
c. There IS EVIDENCE that the Taliban is PREVENTING people (Americans, Europeans, Afghans) from reaching the airport.
