Wow.....from article/your link....

...The Hague, Netherlands: The first Dutch evacuation flight since the Taliban takeover left Kabul without a single Dutch or Afghan national on board after passengers were blocked by US troops, the Netherlands said Wednesday. The US military allowed the Dutch jet to stay on the tarmac in the Afghan capital for just 30 minutes before ordering it to take off on Tuesday, foreign minister Sigrid Kaag said.

Around 40 people were able to board the plane but none were Dutch or Afghan, with many people unable to get to the plane on time as they were stuck outside the US-guarded gates to the airport.

“Many people were there with their children, with their families. They were there at the entrance of the airport. It’s terrible,” Kaag was quoted as saying by the Dutch news agency ANP.
...

Just who the heck are these 40 that WERE allowed to board??

What a total disaster.

What an abject FAILURE!!!

Biden will not just have to contend with angry Americans but will be dragged before the Hague for crimes against humanity.

Like I said earlier, think it’s bad now, just wait a couple of days, it will be worse!
