Got buried as the last post on a previous page but are there still Americans in our embassy? Or is that just how they word security alerts
The Embassy was fully evacuated and the diplomatic duties of the Embassy were moved to the airport. The last report was that four employees of the Embassy stayed behind at the airport as a skeleton crew to continue processing the Embassy's duties and getting people out.

Ok so you are saying that all but 4 Americans have gotten out or at the airport???? If so then it’s time to send that message and let them fend for themselves.

Ive only watched 5 minutes or so, but considering the situation, it looks relatively calm.
Looks like everyone in line has MREs and water. Our troops look relaxed.
It all depends on which side of the airport fence their video was taken. Compared to few days ago, "our" side is relatively calm. About 15-20 yards on the other side of that wall, and it is a different story.

A German civilian got shot by a peaceful and cooperative Taliban soldier. The German state department confirmed it. They just said "shot", no word on condition.

Ya, Im thinking their video was after people had been processed and are actually waiting for a flight.
They had a short clip where it was just a mass of people and a soldier got a little physical with someone, but Ive seen worse at sporting events.
Of course thats just the clips they were showing. Im sure the other 23 hours and 55 minutes of the day could be totally different.

Article posted earlier said American soldiers used tear gas and fired weapons in the air to control crowds on the base.

Well, they finally 100% confirmed what I have been harping on for days. If they cannot say how many US citizens remain in Afghanistan, then they never had a clue how many US citizens were in a country that is an active war zone. Pentagon Press Sec. confirms it:

CNBC says Biden's 1pm address is still on.

They’re gonna put Joe in Marine One and do a couple circles around DC and tell Joe they’re in Delaware. It’ll be fine.
