Seeing all of this unfold is sickening. Hundreds of thousands of lives lost for nothing. Absolutely nothing. The only people that benefited were the war profiteers.

Bomb the presidential palace and around the airport…. The taliban will quickly move away.

Yea, they'll install some warlord ala Sadam whos friendly to their causes. That region can't have a central government that isn't a ruthless dictator

told The Associated Press that the chaos left seven dead, including several who fell from the flight.
I was sent a video of a cargo plane taking off, and people falling off; falling hundreds of feet. I can't confirm its veracity, but it was disturbing to watch.

I was in hearings all morning. Has Biden addressed this situation yet or is he still hiding out?

Reach out to a vet today, this is extremely depressing shite if you spent substantial portions of your life dedicated to this mission much less saw friends maimed and killed. Doesn't help one bit that folks that never had any skin in the game now want to make this about party politics rather than pulling for best outcome for team USA.
Hey shite head, I have skin in the game right now - my son. That doesn't mean pointing out the Biden administration could only screw this up worse if they did so on purpose is wrong.
Acting like pointing out the administrations screw job is playing politics is stupid. Did they or did they not totally frick this up?

The Airport situation must be getting worse and worse as report that Germany and Turkey planes are no longer allowed to land at the Kabul airport due to the security situation deteriorating further.
Meanwhile, the PM of Pakistan comes out with this statement a few minutes ago.

From what happened in Afghanistan, they should perceive that once a war breaks out in the Straits, the island's defense will collapse in hours and the US military won't come to help.
Tells you all you need to know right there.

Fox News just reported Breaking News from a "credible source" in the Pentagon that the Taliban is going door to door looking for folks who helped Americans.

Fuuuuuck if true

Are the Americans still at the airport or have we gotten them out?
Thousands are still there and I’d be shocked if there aren’t a few hundred of them scattered around and trapped in the city.

This was always going to happen. There will be public mass executions by the Taliban to show the world they are now in full control, and there's dick-all anyone can do about it.

Interesting, we're now up to 7,000 US troops into the area to help the evacuation.
We had 2,500 troops in Afghanistan before the withdrawal.
