U.S. Ambassador to U.N.: ‘Our Friends and Allies Are Not Hanging off Planes’ – Afghanistan Situation ‘Not an Unplanned Situation’

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield denied parallels between the situation in Afghanistan and the fall of Saigon by stating that “this is not 1975. This is 2021. We are in a different world. We have planned and we are responding. This is not an unplanned situation that we are in.” Thomas-Greenfield also said, “our friends and allies are not hanging off planes.”

Thomas-Greenfield said, “I think this is not 1975. This is 2021. We are in a different world. We have planned and we are responding. This is not an unplanned situation that we are in. It’s difficult. I am absolutely not denying how difficult the situation is. But we are in a process of trying to get people out and our friends and allies are not hanging off planes. Our friends and allies are getting the support of the U.S. government, and we’re working around the clock to get people out.”

Host Nicolle Wallace then asked, “I just don’t want to misunderstand you. Who do you identify as hanging off the planes at the airport in Kabul?”

Thomas-Greenfield responded, “I don’t know. You said people were hanging off planes, and I did see the one report where there were so — hundreds of people at the airport, and all of those people we want to assist and we recognize that, but what we’re trying to do is provide an orderly path for Afghans and others to leave the country, and we’re working around the clock to do that.”

Thomas-Greenfield added, “[W]e’re getting out planes every hour on the hour, and we will continue to do that until we finish the job.”

No matter how much the fall of Saigon looks just like the fall of Afghanistan, you must NOT believe your eyes, but rather the lies Biden and his stooges tell you.  Biden and DNC, Bagdad Bob news......

The nerve!  After we saw the live pictures of people hanging on airplanes?  Trying to get away?  I don't know if it was the Taliban.
None can be trusted.

Some fell off, some froze there, strapped to the plane. At least one caused a landing gear malfunction and a re-route (glad I didn't have to clean that up). Apparently they are either so desperate or just don't understand the cold up there.

But yes, accounts say people are  dying in an attempt to get out.

Biden like Obama couldn't turn an American army over to radical jihadist fast enough.  Military betrayed, both American and allies betrayed, civilians, both Americans and western allies betrayed,.  America's reputation on a world/global scale in taters. tens of thousands of peoples fates Biden turned over to the Taliban on  Bidens trust and faith in the Talibans 'good will'.  Biden took the democrats contempt and hatred of the democrat party towards America and used to to betray the nation.  Biden has then proceeded to declare its no big deal what he did. Our allies, rightfully so are deeply angry America could so betray them, and they have a right to be.  With their people now held hostage, and needlessly so, by Bidens trust in our enemies, and betrayal of our allies.  Of course as last elections massive fraud didn't matter, what difference does this betrayal matter either?  Just as important what other betrayals of our nation or our allies does Biden have planned in the near future?

They can't effing read or write...so where's the mystery about them being ignorant of the temperature differences in altitude?

Afghanistan is pretty mountainous in places. Just the terrain would tell them it gets colder as you go up. (average altitude 4000 ft., ranges from about 1500 ft. to over 20,000 ft. Desert gets cold in winter, too. I have seen subzero temps in Nevada in desert at 7000 ft. You don't need a thermometer to tell you stuff freezes faster as you go up in altitude.

Had this been done in winter, the Taliban would have had a much harder time assembling because of the weather in the higher elevations and mountain passes. Naturally, Biden's Bozos pull out in late summer when travel isn't affected.
