For me the most shocking thing in the end is how the US seized the airport with its limited means and just ran, ran… Even people with booked flights got fucked (first time I write this word on twitter). Ambassador even left thousands of Americans behind

I am sure the last thought of Americans left behind (before their heads are chopped off) is “Trump’s fault”.

When you are a Democrat, it’s always someone else’s fault.

Why should you care?
As long as enough people get the jab so you get to go on another cruise.

The question should be asked of anyone who’s blaming Trump for this fiasco in Afghanistan… Why did we abandon Bagram Air Base before evacuating Americans diplomats, advisers etc.? We could’ve used C130s to protect that base as we got out everyone we wanted to in an orderly way.

Team Biden cut and run fearing a hostage crisis most likely. They’re not even holding the airport. The 82nd airborne must not have been deployed.

Amb Ross Wilson flees on the first flight....leaving how many behind???....contrast with the optics of Amb Chris Stevens being dragged through streets of Benghazi.
