Damaging US cables reveal staff working at the American Embassy in Kabul are 'deeply disheartened' by the Biden Administration's withdrawal, with some even saying 'it would be better to die under the Taliban's bullet' than attempt to flee to safety. The jarring statement was part of a diplomatic cable from Afghan US Embassy staff, who said they've been separated from their children, according to NBC News, which obtained the message.'Happy to die here, but with dignity and pride,' another embassy staffer said, while a third accused the U.S. of prioritizing Afghan government elites with vast wealth and the connections to safely flee.

It would seem that Pollyanna Xiden's information was...uh...a little optimistic this afternoon.
What does 'delusional' mean?

The American people have been betrayed by all our government. They have turned against us. If they think they have a future, they should rethink that.

I just am at a loss for words as I look at the photos in this article. How could this country allow a situation to deteriorate like this? I hope every judge who denied President Trump an opportunity to present evidence of fraud in their courtroom, is shamed for their lack of courage. Furthermore, I hope that the FBI understands that they by their unwillingness to investigate so many irregularities that we had on video specifically, those workers who pulled those ballots out from under tables in Georgia and put them through the tabulators multiple times understand that they bear responsible for this tragedy we see unfolding from Afghanistan. Everyone in the media who mocked and rebuffed any talk of a stolen election are also directly responsible for putting this bumbling fool in office. Those who put into place this rolling coup d’etat have much to answer for. They unleashed on this country and now the world a disastrous cabal whose only goal is the self-preservation of a monstrous ideology that is literally killing people and aiding and abetting our enemies.
Hopefully, this fiasco will be the straw that finally breaks the camel’s back. We have had a run up to this disaster of one domestic policy after another, but I pray this heinous display we are witnessing being played out in real time on the world’s stage will allow everyone to realize that the democrat party is beyond redemption and this heart wrenching debacle will shine a light on the incompetent and dangerous democrat party once and for all. This party consists of godless, corrupt, compassion less, anti-American ideologues who will commit any crime, tell any lie, destroy the reputation of anyone who gets in their way, defang the United States military with wokeism, and sacrifice thousands of lives at their altar of totalitarian progressivism. The debacle playing out in Afghanistan and here at home is unbelievably part of the democrat strategy of Cloward and Piven which is to orchestrate crisis so government can solve it. Democrats should pay a very high price for what they have done. The timing would be impeccable if Arizona’s audit results were soon released. However, democrats will orchestrate, God forbid, a tragic end in Afghanistan which will overshadow the revelation. They will abandon Old Joe rather than be exposed as the cheats they are. Democrats know they have screwed up everything and when the American people have proof they stole the 2020 election, it’s over for them. They believe they can jettison Biden and survive. I don’t see how that is possible, but I am sure that is the plan.

thank you #3. Well said. I worked under six presidents and I NEVER saw anything like this before. I'm still in shock and can't believe that this country did this to our allies, citizens and fellow Afghans that helped us. Women and children will be tortured by the Taliban animals. The only thing that I can see is to DESTROY all the equipment left behind so that the Taliban can not use it.
The one question that I'm asking is what are they hiding to create such a disaster like this?

Of course they were betrayed, but Biden is clearly not running the show. This whole withdrawal was such a complete disaster that it's hard to believe it was not intentional. The deep state thrives on chaos, hates America, and would love to arm our enemies with billions in US military hardware.
There are diabolical murky characters controlling the highest levels of the US government, including The Supreme Court. We've all been betrayed.

The Democrat/Socialists plus the MSM own this. They put Biden and Harris on the ticket and then stole the election with the blessings and help from the MSM. It is time for the American people to kick them all out in the next two elections.

It is not America that betrayed them, it is the DEMOCRATS, who are UNAmerican,
and in many cases inhuman haters.

I would just ask the embassy staff who they voted for and remind them elections have consequences. We had 8 years of consequences when Obola was in office but thankfully none so dire as what we have seen since January. Democrats, GOPe and the media own every piece of this.

#7, it’s the term for a communication and was used before we had email. I used to be a communications officer for State back in the 80’s and that’s what they were called. Seems that State still uses the term.
So, while children are dying of dehydration around Kabul, the left is agonizing about the poor children swarming across our border. We didn’t do that to the border brats - they came here on their own. Meanwhile, the kids around Kabul are at the mercy of Xiden and his idiocy through no fault of their own.

These people were not betrayed by America. They were betrayed by Biden and his Administration.

Betrayed by America or betrayed by the democrats? The democrat party has a history of betraying our soldiers and our diplomats on foreign soil......think Benghazi. This is why the left should never be trusted with political power.

If I had one wish after viewing those images it would be that Biden and his family be thrown into the carnage we see that he created so he could 'enjoy' it too. Biden is napping now without a care in his empty vegetable head clueless but still mean as a snake to all people but himself. Please consider buying some art work from Hunter Biden we could make him famous and help the Biden family out.

Re #11 - The AFGHAN embassy staff are Afghan nationals who help support the American Embassy staff. At most US embassies, locals nationals are hired for various jobs because they speak the language and dialects, know the country, etc. They are not eligible to vote in US elections. Now the US Embassy staff - that's another story. I worked at State for almost five years ( 1999-2004) and 99% of its employees, both the civil servants and the foreign service officers aka the career diplomats, were/are lefty Dems.

If the Afghans were betrayed, they can look in the mirror to see who did it. One overlooks a $6.7 TRILLION investment, not to mention 3000 soldiers' lives, that over 20 years went ultimately for naught in creating a competent security force and government. This, folks, is Afghanistan. Despite fully knowing who the Taliban are and the anticipated reestablishment of an Islamic state, complete with Sharia law and daily violence, the Afghan preferred to stack arms and run. It's very sad. It's the way things are. Get the Americans out, and let the "freedom loving" Afghans deal with their fate. In effect, the 20 years of fraud on their part is paying off for them now.

Never attempt to negotiate with an Islamic country or political party. Their regulations are strictly enforced. "Join us, or pay a very high taxation, or we kill you." Will someone please tell that dimwit in the White House.
