Joe Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken just admitted there is a hostage crisis in Afghanistan during a press conference today in Germany.
And in the same breath, he admitted the U.S. is nearly powerless to help because Biden broke his promise to stay in Afghanistan until all Americans were safely evacuated.
Blinken: “As of now, the Taliban are not permitting the charter flights to depart…while there are limits to what we can do without personnel on the ground, without an airport with normal security procedures in place, we are working to do everything in our power.”

There are reportedly 143 American citizens and lawful permanent residents trying to leave via these charter flights right now.
This is a hostage crisis, and one of Biden’s own making.
