The Hill: Reports " Secretary of State Antony Blinken said officials believe that between 100 and 200 Americans seeking to leave the country remain there and were not evacuated on military flights out of Kabul "
Lets Get Real:
The US/UK control if the new Taliban terror regime gets any of the former Afghan's governments assets that have been frozen since KABUL fell to the Taliban. The West wants the Taliban to allow US/UK and Western passport holders to fly from the Kabul Airport, but they also want Afghan Allies of the West to be allowed to leave. If the Taliban were really stupid they could take American hostages, if your old enough you remember the Iran hostage crisis, from 1979 to 1981, in that event the Islamic Students under the ORDERS of the new hard line Islamic regime in Tehran, IRAN took 52 US diplomatic hostages, and that lasted in till 1981and the Inauguration of Ronald Reagan, in those years the Carter Administration did a deal to un - freeze the Assets of the previous regime as the part of the deal for the return of their hostages. The hostage crisis lead to the defeat of Jimmy Carter in 1980. Even terrorists one thinks would work out that would be a BIG MISTAKE, Biden would be forced to take action against them, even invade again!! One can see a back room deal, the Taliban allow Western passport holders and Afghan Allies to leave and in return they get the assets of the former regime. Of course thus does not even cover the civil rights of girls and women to go to school and to work, will that also be a condition of any un - freezing of assets, so far the Biden Administration has not shown enough that it cares, Biden wants to move to the domestic front and the Mid Terms in 2022 and then the general election in 2024. The Biden OVAL must hope that the American voter will not care about Afghanistan after a few years and the domestic Spending by the Biden and the Democratic Congress will get them over the line when it comes to votes.
