Just wait for the documentaries on the people we find years down the road that managed to escape or are found in some Middle East hellhole enslaved like Qatar and Dubai. “Americans who want to go home” and “That was four days ago, five days ago!” will live forever in infamy.

The sad part about all of this is that it isn't just American citizens who are being left behind to die but its also all of our allies citizens who are still stuck in the country and can't get out. This dipshit has managed to sign a death warrant for tens of thousands of foreign citizens in addition to our own.

US embassy issues last alert for US citizens to leave afghanistan or they’re on their own, then recalls it 30 mins later.

My daughter started her junior year of college today ... I just texted her to say a prayer for our Americans and Afghanis who won't get out and for our military who is having to pull out and what they know they're leaving behind.
IDK even what to say or think.

People on that tweet are saying how great things are. There is a significant amount of people in this country whose heads are fully up their asses.

@laraseligman and I report that the Taliban has now started halting people trying to get in through the airport gates. Not just Afghans but American citizens. Informal groups coordinating need to redirect people on the fly, per 3 sources.

They’re all dead and/or sold into slavery. I was not being hyperbolic in my comparisons here to historic atrocities. This is the worst case scenario.

Abomination is what this is a total unmitigated abomination.
The Taliban has now banned all Afgans from leaving the country, they have blocked all roads to the Kabul airport, and ordered all women to stay at home after they issued a "red line" evacuation threat to Joe Biden. There is no way for anyone to get to the airport now if they wanted to evacuate.

Just wait for the first beheading of an American on camera begging for their lives in English. Then just wait seeing American women and children being beaten in the streets. I think people here are somewhat still in denial how bad this is, they need a rude awakening.

Is it just because theyre failing horribly and she is the mouthpiece for said failure is nervous as hell, but how can the press secretary for the white house say uh and umm every 2 seconds while answering questions?

Sounds like the Taliban has now sealed the gates to Karzai International airport preventing any more people from leaving as US troops prepare their withdrawal.

So we are leaving early? With people stranded? I thought it was supposed to take all week to pull out by the 31st and now it's 3 days?
Why not start on the 27th or 28th? WTFO?

I think Big Tech is going to go to work and suppress anything like this.

The US military forces will be out of Afghanistan within 72 hrs and it appears they are no longer taking anyone which is why the Taliban has sealed off the airport.

DOD and State briefings both cancelled.
We're seeing unprecedented levels of incompetence (at least in terms of realtime, public facing incompetence).
