“Forsaken” is probably the more accurate term.

Posting this again on the new page:

"Abandoned" may or may not mean what you think it means here. As soon as the flag comes down, the Embassy is considered "non-operational" and no longer Sovereign US soil. It does not mean that the Embassy has been fully evacuated, only that diplomatic duties have been relocated to the airport.

That fricking shite hole. Get our people out and nuke it. Worthless and nothing good comes out of it.

As a veteran, this shite really pisses me the frick off. Biden needs to face jail time if one American life is taken because of this fricking negligence.

You’re parsing words. The ambassador has left, the flag is gone, and if there is anyone left there all they’re doing is waiting for evacuation. It’s ceased to operate as an embassy. The only difference for those Americans there compared to Americans elsewhere in the city is there is a chance someone might be coming to get them.

Wednesday evening our time. He was walking onto the C-17 his helicopter was on and taking an Ambien.

Said he would be busy (no shite) and would try to contact when he can.

Type in "Junaid Qadri" on Instagram and you'll see his video at the Kubal airport. This is one of dozens I'm seeing. You will hear the gunshots and people running for their lives. He just posted it a few minutes ago

This is probably a dumb question but what military people specifically are calling the shots on this? This is pretty bad all around and is extreme negligence

If Biden was answering truthfully last week, the US intelligence community needs to be shut down and rebuilt.
