Islamic terrorists are now calling the shots. Perhaps, though, I have this wrong. Are the Taliban no longer terrorists because China and Russia and perhaps another nation or two have reasons to be considering recognizing the Taliban as the legitimate occupiers of the helm of Afghanistan?
The Taliban today announced they will not extend the August 31 deadline for US withdrawal from Afghanistan. This from thegatewaypundit.com.
They are counting on Joe Biden and democrats leaving thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of US supporters in the country.
The #Taliban will not extend an Aug. 31 deadline for Western forces to leave #Afghanistan, two sources in the Islamist group told Reuters on Monday. This will complicate things considerably, if it maintains this position.https://t.co/aA4QEbxGyF

Reuters reported:
The Taliban will not extend an Aug. 31 deadline for Western forces to leave Afghanistan, two sources in the Islamist group told Reuters on Monday.
The sources, however, said no Western government or official had approached the Taliban to extend the deadline.
Here’s the scene from the airport on Sunday.

The Taliban is threatening the failed Biden regime.
Imagine the Taliban trying to issue Trump a redline. We know what kind of forceful response they would receive.
Suhail Shaheen, the Taliban’s spokesperson agreed to meet with Sky News in Doha and issued a stark warning. He has told Sky News there will be ‘consequences’ if the US delays their withdrawal from Afghanistan.
As of Monday, however, Biden had still not decided whether to take action to extend the deadline for removing all US troops from Afghanistan. This from gatewaypundit.com.
Several of the Biden’s advisers have advised against an extension, citing the security situation on the ground. Officials have spent recent days monitoring potential terrorist threats, citing “persistent” and credible information that the chaotic situation outside the airfield has created a target for ISIS-K and other organizations.
It seems Biden cannot simply extend the deadline without “consequences.” He may choose to leave troops in Afghanistan beyond Aug. 31, but that will likely also be a decision to fight.
And what about the thousands of Americans and those of other nationalities, and the Afghans who had been loyal to the Americans who are all seeking evacuation? What about the adage, ‘No one left behind’?
I don’t believe Biden should be making this decision and I also don’t believe the military operational planning should be left up to the current woke cadre occupying the pentagon.
God speed to those innocents caught up in this Biden blunder.
