Europe Faces Migration Crisis From Afghanistan

The transcript discusses the European Union's response to a crisis, highlighting criticism of its lack of a unified plan. Individual countries like Germany, France, and Spain are taking independent actions, such as deploying military planes for evacuations. The situation is described as a political, humanitarian, and migration crisis, with debates on how to handle refugees and asylum seekers. Some political factions in Europe are considering actions without US involvement, focusing on humanitarian aid and avoiding a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis. Germany is contemplating troop deployment for evacuation purposes. The EU's response has been criticized as muted, with no joint plan in place, and there is frustration over being blindsided by the US and the rapid pace of events.
