It took us and allies how many years to "secure" Afghanistan? How many days or weeks will it take for Taliban to take it all back.

Question: Why is it we are so focused on evacuating civilian afghans and not the U.S. Citizens stuck in country?

Seems kinda Un American don't it, to put the safety and well being of the Afghans ahead of our own citizens!

This sh!t is getting crazy!

If Pelosi quits then a new speaker of the house will be voted in, what's the bet on who the next speaker/ potus to be?

According to CNN: "Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat (is) widely seen as her likely heir apparent..."

But it doesn't sound like she's planning to resign, just that she won't run again. So she'd still be Speaker till 1/23.

Oklahoma mom of 11 rescues members of Afghan all-girls robotics team

https://nypost.com/2021/08/19/oklahoma-mom-rescues-members-of-afghan-all-girls-robotics-team/






"She flew into Qatar on Aug. 9 after making a "Hail Mary" call to a former roommate at the US Embassy there to help get the girls from the advancing Taliban, known for their oppressive treatment of women.
"She said she "couldn't shake" the feeling that the girls were in danger while watching the news of the advancing insurgent army in early August.






"The girls were taken to a secure location in the U.S. and will pursue higher education, Reneau said.

" According to NBC, Reneau is still working to get 25 more girls from the team to safety.

In Oregon alone, we have thousands of homeless American citizens living on the streets.

Why the hell is Brown and the democrat flakes begging Biden to accept thousands of Afghani refugees?

Shouldn't we take care of our own first?

We should.
Our bureaucrats don't have our best interests at heart.

 

[Ura-Ki]

It's the same MO over there, the U.S. is spending far more time, effort, and resources on rescuing afghans then Americans, so why would we expect any different here in Oregon!

Austin contradicts Biden, says Americans have been ‘beaten’ by the Taliban

The President said Friday that the U.S. was not aware of Americans having trouble getting to the airport in Kabul.

From a Taliban point of view...
It all makes sense.

What is an M18 assault weapon? Am I just dumb, or is that a non-real thing that doesn't exist?

 

[ma96782]

From Wikipedia.

Firearms and military equipment[edit]

• M18 Claymore mine, an American anti-personnel landmine
• M18 Hellcat, an American tank destroyer used in World War II
• M18 smoke grenade, a colored smoke grenade
• M18 recoilless rifle, a late-World War II recoilless rifle
• SIG Sauer M18 pistol, a compact, carry sized SIG Sauer P320 used by the United States armed forces

Me thinks.....M18 = Sig 320 in this case.

Why call it an "assault weapon". It's semi-automatic, magazine fed and carries a hi-cap magazine. EVIL sounding. Rrrrright?

Probably NOT the old M18 recoilless rifle. As ammo would probably be hard to find.

It is similar to an AR-14, pure evil.
