Biden charging Americans $2,000 to be evacuated from Afghanistan

[colfax_m]

Because of people like you, apparently, who advocate leaving our fellow citizens behind to potentially be raped or tortured.

I have the utmost respect for those that honorably serve our country. I am indebted to them, as they enable me to earn my living and raise my family in a relatively safe society.

Like you, the Biden Admin seems to not care about the safety of our own citizens when in potentially life-threatening circumstances and makes them all fend for themselves.

And this never had to happen. They could have been evacuated before the haphazard withdrawal, but Biden flipped a coin and made a deliberate and tragically-flawed impeachable decision to give a bunch of American hostages to enemy forces.

Ah. So now conservatives are in favor of government handouts.

Cool.

The Pentagon announced during a press conference on Thursday that they do not have an estimate on the number of Americans currently stranded in Kabul.

While thousands have been fortunate enough to escape the sabotaged city in Afghanistan, the concern with the American public has been how many are left to rescue and what the U.S. is proactively doing to ensure their safety. The Biden administration has been mum on the firm action the Taliban have promised to take against Americans, and with no estimate on citizens present in the capital city, some fear that not all Americans will be rescued.

Though it doesn’t know how many Americans remain in Kabul, the government does know the estimated fee that it will charge each one who is fortunate enough to catch a repatriation flight back home.

According to the DC Examiner‘s Jerry Dunleavy, a statement from the State Department’s Overseas Security Advisory Council claims that each American rescued from Kabul will be charged $2,000 for the United States’ services. The clause reads:

Under pressure, State Dept. scraps plan to bill Kabul evacuees $2K for flights​

WASHINGTON — The State Department was forced to scrap a widely excoriated plan to bill US citizens $2,000 or more for their evacuation flights from Kabul.

The hefty price tag drew social media outrage Thursday after it gained public notice.

“In these unique circumstances, we have no intention of seeking any reimbursement from those fleeing Afghanistan,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement provided to The Post.

The cost was publicly posted to a State Department website on Saturday but went largely unnoticed before it was highlighted by Politico’s military-focused newsletter Thursday.

An unnamed State Department spokesman initially stood by the charge, telling Politico that “U.S. law requires that evacuation assistance to private U.S. citizens or third country nationals be provided ‘on a reimbursable basis to the maximum extent practicable.’”

Is this a clear cut case of the INSANITY COMING FROM THE XIDEN REGIME.... EVEN XI HIMSELF, WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME EXPLAINING THIS, if it really was NOT COVERED by the MSM!

Nothing surprises me any more

Great! This way they will return at least some of the lost money...
"...In August, the EU Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrel, said that maintaining the regime in Afghanistan cost the West millions of dollars. According to him, the United States alone has spent about $ 300 million a day on this over the past 20 years."

How the US wasted billions in Afghanistan with bungled projects

The rapid collapse of Afghan armed forces may have surprised President Biden but dozens of reports from a federal watchdog revealed how the U.S. bungled efforts to shore up the country.

In Afghanistan, budget billions were really stolen, - an indisputable fact. It's a foreign country, the laws don't mean anything, a lot of money comes from the center. Yes, you can think of a million ways to steal them on the spot! Where are the American anti-corruption fighters? Are they investigating Lukashenka's "crimes" in Belarus?
I think that if there are such people, they will quickly commit suicide. With two shots to the head

Nothing like monetizing the withdraw. Don't forget the Big Guy's 10%.

Report: Biden Admin Charging Americans Up to $2000 Per Evacuation

The State Department is charging Americans stranded in Afghanistan to be evacuated from Kabul's chief airport, according to a report.

www.breitbart.com

President Joe Biden’s State Department is said to be charging Americans stranded in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to be evacuated from Kabul’s chief airport.

Politico reports:


The report comes as global outrage continues over Biden’s botched withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan. The administration has been hit with blistering condemnation because of its inability to pin down the exact number or Americans stranded in the war-torn country or guarantee their safety as they attempt to make their way to the airport for evacuation.

You're wrong again and that is not what was said. Furthermore, you are having another childish swing at his perceived incompetence.

Here is what the doco says. No one should enter the country from there without correct documents etc. We don't want to import Taliban but you wouldn't think of that.

Flight Costs: Repatriation flights are not free, and passengers will be required to sign a promissory loan agreement and may not be eligible to renew their U.S. passports until the loan is repaid. The cost may be $2,000USD or more per person. Travel Documents: All passengers should have valid travel documents required for entry into the United States (e.g. U.S. passports or visas) Assistance:

Not it says may be? Of course you didn't.

People go there to work. Why should the government subsidize their ride home? Why shouldn't the business be on the hook for bringing their employees home?

It is $2k donated to the democrats.....

Then we will fly you home....

Because the Government of Afghanistan fell and it military ran away from the Taliban, so this has become a humanitarian effort to rescue as many as possible, so charging them has gone out the window for now.

Now after the deadline then yeah those people need to pony up the money because they knew it was time to leave.

Oh STFU, The Biden administration knew this would happen, and knew it from day one.
Biden chose to ignore it. EVERYONE on the ground knew the Afghan Army would abandon ship immediately.
Dozens and dozens of reports show it, repeatedly told the Administration this - as well as French/British/Canadian/German intelligence also repeated.
This absolute BULLSHIT "we didn't know" is a farce. And everyone who has one ounce of objectivity knows it.
What does that say about you?

Get them out. I'm not saying they should pay up front but if we have to send a companies employee's home, why shouldn't they pay?

Why should we again be subsidizing the costs of private businesses?

Everyone knew it would happen and knew it for years which is why you don't do things like the 20 year war in Afghanistan.

Will we learn? It's doubtful.

do you feel that way about healthcare and all the other things the government subsidizes???

Those like yourself bitch and moan about "socialism" but have no problem with the government forcing taxpayers to pick up the costs of private businesses.

Businesses that are the reason for the war in the first place.

No, I do not have a problem with health care for the people. Yes, I have a problem with stupid wars which get us into massive debt so that those like yourself will complain that we can't afford health care.

No... that is false.
I don't believe in our history, except perhaps Jimmy Carter, would an American President give an order to abandon an occupation with absolutely no plan or preparation to evacuate our folks.
Biden lied, on air, in his first delayed appearance after hiding for 4 days, that they "told people to leave and they didn't want to" we have now a number of interviews of Americans there that, though they were registered with the Embassy, they received no word that the American withdraw was imminent. You have to remember, Biden is the 3rd President that said we were leaving. Obama ran on a platform of leaving Afghanistan, but instead greatly increased the war instead. These folks have been hearing "we're leaving" for YEARS.
The Biden administration did not inform people of an actual withdraw. But he lied and said they did.
Just like he lies when he says "The Taliban is not interfering with evacuations" when we have dozens of global reports showing that is, in fact, absolutely not true.
