Washington Examiner: US general tells British special forces: Stop rescuing people in Kabul, you're making us look bad 

I understand that the commanding general of the 82nd Airborne Division has told the commander of the British special forces at the Kabul airport to cease operations beyond the airport perimeter. 

Maj. Gen. Christopher Donahue has told his British Army counterpart, a high-ranking field-grade officer of the British army's 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, that British operations were embarrassing the United States military in the absence of similar U.S. military operations. 

I understand that the British officer firmly rejected the request.

WNU Editor: It is not the U.S. military that is being made to look bad by these British rescues. It is President Biden and his top officials who are looking bad.

Update: The Germans are now rescuing their citizens outside of the airport .... Germany Sending Special Ops Helicopters To Kabul To Rescue Evacuees Outside The Airport (Updated) (Warzone/The Drive).

It is the ultimate humiliation and betrayal.

Do you think these people would NOT steal an election, after lying to you for years and dividing you so they can get into office???

Of course they would and I think they did it.

10:44 +1,000

Suppose 10:44 is a foreign troll. What of it? Sometimes you can troll by telling the truth 100%.

At that point the problem lies not with the enemy so much, but with the system you live in.

Too bad Trump didn't fire a ton of the US generals. They really need to go bye bye. Biden too. I didn't know Biden had a stroke.

The USA is finished I fear. The damage that could be done to the states over the next few years might be irreparable. Perhaps some states might wish to succeed from the union. It's been tried before. After the way Biden pulled out of Afghanistan, without consultation or warning & dropping everybody in it, the USA cannot be trusted by any of its allies. Taiwan could be next to fall. Biden gave a hint the other day when he said that the US wouldn't get involved in other people's civil wars. Farewell Taiwan. The Europeans will have to fork out more of their own cash for defence. I wouldn't put it past European politicians to move closer to Moscow for safety. Keep ducking 🙈
