* DoD spokesman John Kirby said first of 3000 troops arrived in Kabul on Friday
* He said he was concerned with speed of the Taliban advance across Afghanistan
* The Afghan capital was not in an 'imminent threat environment,' he said, although it was clear insurgents were trying to isolate Kabul
* Reports suggest Afghan government forces have melted away in the face of some Taliban advances
* Kirby insisted the Afghan security force had the training, materiel and numbers to make a difference on the ground
* But he added that 'money can't buy you will' and said more leadership was needed among local troops
The Pentagon said on Friday it did not believe Kabul was under imminent threat from the rapid Taliban advance, as the first of 3000 U.S. troops arrived in the Afghan capital to protect embassy staff.
Earlier Taliban fighters seized the country's second and third biggest cities, and their fighters closed to within 50 miles of Kabul.
The speed of their advance has sent Western nations scrambling to bring home civilian staff. And a defense official told the Associated Press that an attack on Kabul could come within days.
Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby declined to say whether officials were surprised by the way Afghan forces had failed to slow the advance.

WNU Editor: With each passing day DoD spokesman John Kirby is looking more and more foolish.

The plan of every corrupt, thieving government thugs right now, today:
1. Steal and rob the population blind over deacdes
2. Import massive numbers of immigrants to deplace the population you have stolen from
3. Then call them racist when they complain and repeat with the next generation
We are governed by thugs who are financed and manipulated by demonic vampires.
They have been doing this for now more than 100 years and are going for more and more.
We must stop them
Step 2 is important so that the people who could hold you to account are displaced, literally eradicated, for the only purpose so you can get away with it over and over again
Our systems are completely broken, trust in government is at about 15-20% on a good day.
In a few weeks we will see millions of protesters
And then...
either freedom and a new system WE define together, OR slavery in which those who robbed us blind, caused senseless wars, in essence held back humanity for so long and killed scores and scores, will yet again get away with it, because we cannot see it for what it is. the oldest game.
I never imagine our administration could be in a so denying way. I'm devastated. American's deserve better.
John Kirby will be in psych books. His stuttering have been attributed to cognitive dissonance. He knows he is telling the institutions lies and it bothers him. this the cognitive dissonance and stutters.
In the great tradition of Baghdad Bob.
Current administration is semi-communist.
In all departments...
Baghdad Bob!
To those who think the government doesn't lie... And to those who think of taking unsafe drugs the same government pushes... trust your fellow man, not the media or government.... the biggest murderers and liars on this planet
HEY! isn't Trump to get into the white house today and the real president? where is he? what happened?
who lied to us?
Looks like Baghdad Bob,
LOL!
If embassies & consulates are burning secret & confidential documents & destroying information systems, Kabul is close to falling. Keep ducking 🙉
8:14 no matter what side you're on, no matter even the country, this out of control, treasonous, fascist government is targeting you too in the coming system (great reset). Don't be a fool and close your eyes to what's going on around you. They're purposefully destroying the economy, completely enslaving you in the new medical tyranny system.
You may not notice it yet, they're doing it slowly and in stages, just keep your mind open to what's happening. And I didn't vote for trump, nor do I care about him just fyi.. if we don't manage to come together, they'll enslave us all
Sir--
I am not sure who "they" are. Can you be more specific, please, ie, unions, bankers, gop, democratic party, Trump people, Biden, military, etc
1254,
There are public groups and public officials that push for the great reset - without asking the people, ie they dictate and the social contract will have terms you only accept because they locked you down and enslaved you prior, so when they release you, this new deal under the great reset won't feel so bad--
The Davos group, Rockefeller group, the Rothschilds, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Klaus Schwab, Biden, Trudeau, Macron, Johnson etc
Sir--
(blah) (blah) (blah)
signed Parrot
is parrot alive? Hope he is alright after taking the vaccine.
Jac, how are you doing, mate? Any side effects?
look to your own life and mend that first
mend ur own life 1st before opining or voting
So parrot should refrain form voting until he mends his own life?
Speaking of mending, hey Lapides how's that trophy wife of yours doing?
Since I'm not actually on the ground there right now, I do not "know" what is actually happening there right now. The media does seem giddy about this situation. Perhaps this situation has been oversold.
Based upon what people who've served there have told me the Afghans have everything they need to defeat the Taliban. It's up to them to defend their country. Team Biden is absolutely correct to make this clear. Failure to protect their freedom is entirely on them. It is NOT our fault should they not choose to do so.
Perhaps the Afghans will pull this out. What does seem clear is the American people who made tremendous sacrifices for the Afghans even to the point of endangering our own people will not receive any thanks for this even though many of our people bled and died for them.
