I’m sure that America has satellites making note of where the strong points of the Taliban are and if they attack us after the deadline they will be vaporized
Thanks politicians sleepy Joe and orange
What a load of BS journalism. ‘Threat from ISIS’?? What Taliban said was fair and part of the deal. Stop making up fear mongering stories

Whole Afghan is under Taliban, no problem but Only Kabul airport is under USA N NATO soldiers???
Even they’re killing civilian.
