That will have some Trump fans howling in outrage Whistle Rolling with laughter
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Nah, they'll be too busy counting their bullets in their basements to notice stuff going on outside of Hicksville, USA. Rolling with laughter

Doesn’t count, unfortunately. Bases outside geographical United States do not count for citizenship. Neither does being born on an American operated flight, whether governmental or civilian. Similarly temporary presence in USA does not result in citizenship for the baby. This changed at some point in the semi-recent past.

Seems the terrorist warning at Kabul has come true. Sad Several fatalities reported.

Other reports of at least 11 people dead.

Afghanistan is going to turn in to a blood bath with the Taliban and IS fighting each other... Crying or Very sad

Taliban 2.0 are only interested in Afghanistan; ISIS-K are the extremist's extremists and there are no boundaries to their outlook - geographically or morally.

I think "200 aircraft" is way over any estimates I've seen elsewhere. Of the ones they did have, a lot of them went to Uzbekistan (where they will be pored over by the Russians / Chinese). I suppose the Afghans would just fill them in again but a few craters could still be made in those runways by runway-denial missiles or sappers making some large camouflets and opening-up the tops. Heck, A B-52 would do the same job.

The wig of he chap behind him fools nobody.

The aircraft left aren’t very interesting for anyone “advanced”. Brazilian Embraer super tucano ones for example.

Plus Blackhawks were out not far after the end of Vietnam war. OK, they’ll have some modern stuff in them but nothing the Chinese or Rooskies don’t have already, or what they consider obsolete. Thumbs Up

Of more interest, wonder where the Predators are based that are firing the Ninja Hellfires. Pakistan? Confused Confused

I see 800 ‘dogs and cats’ got out safely while human beings left behind and dying. Censored ridiculous

The dogs and cats were in the cargo-hold, not strapped into a seat in first-class. The flight was paid for by public donations. It was the Taliban who stopped people joining the flight.

Paid by private donations - so what!!!! Animals prioritised over people??? Are people really saying no people whatsoever could possibly have been taken or that the UK is somehow better for having 800 dogs patriated??? The world has gone mad…..
