So the Luftwaffe sent an Airbus A400M (The big fuck off Tactical Transport Plane Tom Cruise was hanging off in Mission Impossible : Rogue Nation) to Kabul last night. It ended up circling the Airport for several hours due to the chaos on the ground.


The Embassy staff, assuming that the plane wouldn't get in before the Airport Closed didn't send any extra staff to the Airport.

It left with 7 passengers on board.

the more i think about it we trained the wrong people in afghanistan should have trained the women to fight christ if they had been half as good as the Kurdish women they would have defeated the taliban in days

seeing the vid of taliban fighters in the gym and in that theme park yesterday they are not the hardened battle troops we thought they were

As usual Boris comes up short with refugee numbers 5,000 in the first year and 20,000 over five years

what the actual fuck !! guessing he is hoping the taliban get them all before they can get them out so its not his fault

I would wager the EU are not doing their bit and claim it is not their problem and "it is a Briitsh problem"

Didn't we and the Americans back the Mujadeen against the Soviets? That I think is when we probably made our first mistake with the region

I think the speech by MP Tom Tugenhat says it all.

It was a NATO Operation from day 1 and therefore, with the exception of 6 countries it is most definitely an EU problem.

Anyone who worked with UK Forces would be welcome and I would also include Female Police Officers who will be at risk in spite of the Taliban PR operation. However under no circumstances should we take any random single men.

We should follow the example set by the UAE who have welcomed Afghan Refugees into their country....The former President and his family with their suitcases full of stolen cash.

yeah if they were all rich boris would be opening the floodgates for them

I see Fox news are going full racist on the prospect of Afghan refugees arriving in the USA. “Invaded by Afghans” dredging up any example of an Afghan refugee committing crimes in Europe and all the while giving airtime for Trump to rewrite history with his claims of what a great deal he did with the Taliban.
