US Abandons American Citizens in Afghanistan — Tells Them to Go Hide

THOUSANDS of Afghans and foreigners are streaming to Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan today as the country falls to the Taliban.

Joe Biden and Democrats allowed Afghanistan to collapse in about two weeks to the international terrorist organization.

And to top it off today the United States abandoned its citizens in Afghanistan.

They told them to go hide.
Not even the airport is safe.

[b]Security Alert:[/b] U.S. Embassy Kabul (August 15, 2021)
[b]Location:[/b] Kabul
[b] Event:[/b] The security situation in Kabul is changing quickly including at the airport. There are reports of the airport taking fire; therefore we are instructing U.S. citizens to shelter in place.

You’re on your own.

This all reminds me of Obama / Hillary - Benghazi, only way worse.

I read that helicopters were flying citizens out...not true? Even the US Today wrote and article that this is Biden's biggest failure as he runs to his "safe place" for the 17th time..

@akindheart I believe that is true. Here is a picture of a man falling from a plane leaving the Kabul International Airport today during the chaos in Afghanistan.

@Budwick A dangerous situation.

Are they sure it was a person? or persons? The way people were clustering around and climbing onto the airplanes it could be that they had opened one or more access panels which later ripped off as the plane increased speed.

Even that is dangerous ... refueling panels, external power panels, chemical toilet service panels, etc... some of them are pretty big and if not secured can rip free and impact the tail or get sucked into an engine.

I still shudder with the panic evacuation from Vietnam ... people clinging to the wheel wells, crew-members shooting those who wouldn't let go. Horrible memories. I left Saigon about 18 months prior to that panic exit, but heard too many stories from those who lived through it.
