The virtual call is scheduled for 930am. This post is scheduled for 1030am. Will anything change by then? Will Biden listen? Will he be receptive? Will he be lucid?
Ministers have dismissed hopes that Joe Biden will extend the August 31 deadline for withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan as the UK, France and Germany prepare to make a last-ditch plea in G7 talks today.
Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel are set to push the case for keeping the evacuation operation in place longer with thousands of desperate people still flocking to Kabul airport.
However, Mr Biden is still defying international and domestic pressure to prolong the airlift, even though it means troops might have to start focusing on their own exit plan within 24 hours.
A call with Mr Johnson last night failed to make any progress, while the Taliban has warned of ‘consequences’ if there is an attempt to cling on.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace conceded this morning it is ‘unlikely’ the deadline will be extended, after the RAF extracted another 2,000 people in the past 24 hours.
‘I think it is unlikely. Not only because of what the Taliban has said but if you look at the public statements of President Biden I think it is unlikely,’ Mr Wallace said.
Remember when Biden and his supporters said that he was Mr. Experience and was a foreign policy wizard and would bring America back to the international community? I bet France, Germany, and the UK are wishing Trump was still around, because, for all his mean tweets and bombastic rhetoric, they knew they could depend on him doing everything to protect U.S. citizens and those of allies
Tory MP Tom Tugendhat – who served as an Army officer in Afghanistan – said all the UK could do was ‘ask the Americans if they’re willing to stand with us’.
He added: ‘If they’re not then we can’t secure the perimeter and we can’t manage air traffic control, so if the Americans decide to go now I’m afraid that is it. But we can ask.’
There’s no telling what Dementia Joe might do. Neither he nor his advisors know what they’re doing. They blew the operation, pulling out the military before the civilians. They’re lying and diverting all over the place, instead of owning the issue and fixing it. This is what we get

Afghan Fallout: Biden Blows Up His Entire Case For Being President
Fo r most of the past week, in the fires of the worst foreign policy crisis of his young administration, the president who won the White House on a promise of competence and compassion has had trouble demonstrating much of either.â€
That’s not us saying that. This is how the New York Times described the Afghanistan debacle, which is as sure a sign as any of how much trouble President Joe Biden is in right now. (snip)
In a July 2020 speech, Biden declared that his “foreign policy agenda will place America back at the head of the table, working with our allies and partners – to mobilize global action on global threats.â€
Is that so?
The Washington Post reports that U.S. allies are complaining “that they were not fully consulted on a policy decision that potentially puts their own national security interests at risk – in contravention of President Biden’s promises to recommit to global engagement†and that “many around the world are wondering whether they could rely on the United States to fulfill long-standing security commitments stretching from Europe to East Asia.â€
And now we await the fallout from the virtual meeting (will Joe make it on time?). Does he cut and run? Or help our allies?

The UK, France and Germany are absolutely free to invade Afghanistan with their own troops.
The US invasion of Afghanistan has cost thousands of American lives, 20 years and trillions of taxpayer dollars. The “stable” Afghan government lasted less than two weeks.
President tRump, supported by his “America First” base negotiated an exit date with the Taliban.
Does TEACH NOW support the US military staying in Afghanistan?
Not one American has lost their life in Afghanistan since the announcement. Thousands of Americans have died during that time from Covid.
And the US does not take orders from the UK, France or Germany.
Did they not believe tRump when he made the deal to cut and run by May 31? Why weren’t the UK, France or Germany prepared?
Whiny titty babies…
Why would they believe the last administration when the current administration ran on a platform of erasing the previous one? In any case, they have had since Bidens April announcement to get things together.

I am quite sure that the 5000 Takiban prisoners ordered released by Trump will treat Americans trapped in Kabul no worse than they were treated for decades in Kabul prisons
He released those prisoners as part of a Peace Deal back in Feb. 2020. What has that to do with the current mess? Or is that your not-so-subtle way of trying to take focus off THE WORST ASSHOLE EVER TO CLAIM THE PRESIDENCY? Face it, biden is a fuk-up and a failure. But at least there’s no MEAN TWEETS to upset the snowflakes on the radical disgusting left.
We all know he’s the most malevolent sociopath that comments here. If he could the would have every Trump supporter executed. He’s the quintessential Nazi. He’s the type that would take great joy standing at the Death Camp gate and deciding who lives and dies then go have Lobster and Crystal at Nazi Pelousey’s vineyard while wearing no mask and berating the colored staff.
Trump released 5000 Taliban who hD been held in Kabul prisons for decades
Should we expect the Taliban to treat their prisoners better than we treated them?
“Should we expect the Taliban to treat their prisoners better than we treated them?”
Are you stating that we treated them poorly? were they starved? Beaten? Deprived of human rights? Enslaved? Tortured? Executed?
You know very well how the Taliban treats prisoners so don’t try and play coy while once again siding with America’s enemies.

It’s too late for that discussion. The USA has no more cards in the deck that don’t include murdering thousands of random brown people.
The european “leaders” were joyful that biden won the election because he was supposed to keep the party going. Bed. Made.

That’s how communists and fascists operate. By the time they reach their goal of total American capitulation and total civilian compliance (Elwood’s goal) they make sure there are no rules other than those they stipulate at any given time.
A society without rules is anarchy.
