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.

Security Alert: U.S. Embassy Kabul (August 15, 2021)
Location: Kabul
Event: 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.

Here's what I don't get: why does America first withdraw its troops, and then tries desperately to evacuate civilians, personell and staff? Why not first getting all the civilians out, while reliable troops are still there to safeguard them???
Am I missing something? 😐

@helenS Hey, Democrats are so much smarter than us so we have to trust them. Our military was probably more concerned with teaching critical race theory than, you know, performing military operations. Welcome to the Biden Era.

@helenS A handfuls of jumbo jets could evacuate 50,000 people a day, two handfuls could evacuate 100,000 in a day. There are still enough compassionate nations within an hour's flight to accommodate a safe holding area. In two weeks a million people could have been flown to safety and accommodated where while deciding what to do next.

Watching desperate people grabbing onto landing gears, door handles ... anything in their desperate need is so heartbreaking.

And putting our soldiers in a position where they have to shoot these desperate people to jeep them away from airplanes is beyond heartbreaking.
