Disturbing. This could have been avoided with the right order of things. Now I found out I know a contractor who was unable to make it out.

Trump gave him over one year notice. Why did he choose to stay? Why did he wait until the last second when it was too late?

Biden needs to go. Enough of the lip service from Dems but their actions are unspeakable. They need to get back to hugging trees and leave the critical thinking to Trump and his supporters

Actually sad so many Americans died. Horrible news

The Taliban now has billions of dollars of US weapons and they are now turning those weapons against us. Guns, helicopters, tanks.

The Taliban does not have billions of dollars of US weapons. They have billions of dollars of US-purchased Afghan military weapons. We couldn't admit that we failed in our nation building attempt and pretended that the new Afghan government we've been propping up could be trusted to defend itself. If we didn't want those weapons to fall into the hands of the Taliban, we should have admitted that the Taliban was inevitably going to be the ruling party, not our puppet regime. The war hawks refused to do this. The afghan military was a total farce, so it was inevitable that their weapons would eventually fall into the Taliban's lap. That's not Biden's fault.

I'm not obligated to read or respond to anything. I'm just pointing out that the current death rate is very low. None in the last 18 months.

Lol do you often find yourself responding to and quoting a post and acting like you are answering the question without actually answering the question? Good on you for shirking that "obligation".

What a sad and epic disaster. From one idiot president to another. It is as if the president keeps getting dumber as the number increases.

Who would have thought negotiating directly with the Taliban without the Afghan government was a good idea? Then to release 5,000 Taliban prisoners while the Afghan government disagreed. While not even starting the withdrawal process until after the Taliban start sweeping the country. No wonder the Afghan government collapsed so quickly. Now chaos ensues because of idiots in charge.

It seems like the intelligence on this attack is that it was carried out by anti-Taliban Islamists. The Taliban leadership understand they only need to wait a week and country is theirs. There is no need to attack, which they know would be retaliated and pointless.

US Armed Forces are reliant on the Taliban fighting off splinter groups who may wish to attack for propaganda value for a future challenge to the Taliban leadership and the Taliban successfully holding together long enough to evacuate.

What a mess.

ZERO U.S. citizens should be in that part of the world….period.

The soldiers died needlessly. The people there don’t want or need Americans there.

RIP

Yes. Trump's covid virus has killed 700,000 Americans. More than died during WWI, WW2, Vietnam War and Korean War combined.

Why yes, I am ashamed and embarrassed by Joe Biden's awful handling of the troop withdrawal.

Right it all started in a lab on the 20th floor of the Trump Tower. Shame on him for killing all the pre conditioned old and fat people. Shame on him for not promoting a vax at “warp speed.” Shame on him for telling his supporters at a rally to “take the vax.” Shame on him for following the constitution which states its up to the individual states and not federal government to determine things like mask mandates.

Oh and shame on him for stopping international travel to try and prevent the virus from coming to America very early on. Yet being ridiculed by left for doing so. Also shame on him for upholding immigration law at the southern border preventing thousands of covid carrying illegals into the country.

Oh and shame on him for America having 120 million obese people. By far the fattest country in history. And shame on him for that virus, which is much more likely to kill fat people to do so.

Trump hasn't been to Trump Tower since he got to live in the White House. Mara Lardo is more likely where he made the decision to release the North Carolina invented lethal Covid (started when W was president in the early 2000s) that Obama tried stop but the U.S. Army kept funding (military research). It was clever that the U.S. Army had the NC lab contact with the Wuhan lab to collect bat samples for them that sent to NC for the Army to play around with.

How does Trump play to win when he is losing a trade war with China? Melania: He hits back 10 times harder (with the Army's engineered lethal covid virus under a secret Twelve Monkeys operation). Victory is assured.

"In the aftermath of the SARS outbreak in 2003, the Baric team collaborated with the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease (USAMRIID) and developed a novel reverse genetic system for synthesis of a full-length cDNA of the SARS-CoV, which was published in a paper in 2003. The paper claimed that within two months after obtaining the RNA of the SARS virus, the full-length cDNA of the virus was successfully synthesized, which shows that as early as 2003, these institutes already had advanced capabilities to synthesize and modify SARS-related coronavirus."

"Some people in the United States claim that GOF researches by the Wuhan Institute of Virology have caused bat coronaviruses to mutate into SARS-CoV-2 and a lab leak led to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a matter of fact, the United States have sponsored and carried out more such researches than any other country. In particular, the Baric team leads the world in researches in this field. A thorough investigation into Dr. Baric's lab will help clarify whether such researches have led to or can lead to SARS-CoV-2."

The Karzai airport scene is chaos porn you all are entertaining yourselves with. It has little significance to your lives and is pretty much none of your business, arguing about it is a self-indulgent pastime.

Americans still in Afghanistan will be allowed to leave one way or another. There are other ways to travel than by air.

Fox reports that locals report hearing another blast shortly ago.
