Are the Taliban holding Americans in Afghanistan as hostages ? Biden Era

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.56pm post the following, " The Taliban are preventing US citizens who are sitting in airplanes in Afghanistan from leaving the country, according to a senior Republican...He has accused the Taliban of "holding them hostage". "

Lets Get Real:

If this is true, then the Biden Oval has a problem on its hands, could the Taliban wanting an exchange, American Citizens for the frozen assets of the previous Government, ,the Americans are on planes at Mazar-e-Sharif airport, why hold the planes if not to get something back.  One will be interesting to see how the liberal media that got Biden in to OFFICE, deal with issue if it is a real issue.  The American voter will not take kindly to another hostage crisis, for some the Carter Presidency was a disaster that only finished when Reagan won the election in 1980. Interesting few days ahead. 

The Taliban have TOTAL CONTROL of Afghanistan - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.13pm post the following, " The Times' war correspondent Anthony Loyd has told the BBC that the final holdout against Taliban rule in the valley has effectively fallen.  "

Lets Get Real:

The West in the shape of the US and the UK must not accept the Taliban as the government in Afghanistan in till they allow all Western citizens to leave, and also allow Afghan allies who have the right to go to the West to leave Afghanistan.  Also that the Taliban allow women, girls to carry on with their education and to be allowed to work.  One hopes that MI6 and the CIA have agents in place to keep an eye on the Taliban, the Western news media will lose interest in Afghanistan as they do not have news teams there, it is to risky for the reporters.  Thus the News media will have to place their trust in local reporters to feed them stories as to what is going in Afghanistan. The answer to the problems in Afghanistan is NOT THE TALIBAN.
