Fine , we have evacuated thousands of people from Afghanistan.
Why can’t we evacuate our own American citizens from one of our states ?
They are more rapid , trained and experienced.

How much $ have you donated to Relief efforts. At $19.00 their probably not covering costs.

Stop the politics. Take care of the people and animals. Oh, let’s see how the mega-rich participate in donating time, talents, and financial contributions to the island.

Why isn't the AF sending in C-17's and C-5's to get these people to the mainland like LAX and SFO. In my 20 years as a Loadmaster I participated in numerous humanitarian missions, this is no different. Thats Biden for you

While I agree the AF could be evacuating people using cargo aircraft, jumping directly to blaming Biden is bullish!t. I seem to remember one Donald Trump throwing paper towels to hurricane victims. So suck it up buttercup, Biden is the president, he may or may not be working with DoD to determine IF evac help is needed, and if they say it is I have faith he will send in the troops.

Nice way to make a disaster political........ that is how conservatives work; say the opposite of reality and keep everyone hating each other and on a spiteful path........ seriously we have problems as the culture we are.
