With security in Afghanistan deteriorating rapidly, U.S. troops were dispatched Thursday to evacuate personnel from the embassy in Kabul, according to a U.S. official.
U.S. troops are being sent to the Kabul airport where they will provide air and ground support to help process Americans hastily exiting the country.
The move comes alongside news that the Taliban have seized the country's third largest city of Heart, a strategic provincial capital near Kabul.

Yes, let’s telegraph this move ahead of time. Sheesh.

The totally laughable Dementia Joe clown show continues.
Did this deranged fool not foresee the Taliban will re-intensify their attacks once America was withdrawing their troops?
Joe Dementia is old enough to remember Vietnam no?
To: Red Badger
Gee, that didn't take long. I just read that the Biden team in the form of Zalmay Khalilzad was trying to negotiate a deal where we would pay the Taliban not to attack the embassy which has something like 4000 personnel. Now it looks like an emergency evacuation. Will our Woke warriors be able to hold on long enough to get our people outwithout a complete collapse with US prisoners paraded through the streets?

I am amazed that any American remained in that country after our troops left.
