Security Alert: Repatriation Assistance for U.S. Citizens – August 14, 2021
US Embassy in Afghanistan ^ | August 14, 2021

Posted on 08/15/2021 6:26:29 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan has received reports that international commercial flights are still operating from Kabul, but seats may not be available. The U.S. Embassy is exploring options for U.S. citizens who want to depart and who have not been able to find a seat on commercial flights. This notice is to solicit information from U.S. citizens who may wish to utilize such a options. If you have an existing flight booked, do not cancel that booking.

The Embassy cannot guarantee how many or if charter flights will be available and continues to urge all U.S. citizens in Afghanistan to take advantage of commercial flight options while they are still available as airports could experience unexpected closures with little to no warning.

You’re saying Obama saved the day in Benghazi?

“The U.S. Embassy is exploring options for U.S. citizens”

Before this is over, we'll see military choppers picking people up off the roof of the US Embassy, just as happened in Vietnam.

It will be too late by then, Americans and Afghanistan citizens that helped our embassy and military will be killed by the Taliban.

Shortly after, we'll be pResident Xiden on tv saying "What difference does it make?" and we'll know the country is lost.

Why any American is still over there is insanity. Should have left 10 years ago or never been there in the first place.

“Wait until a commercial liner full of Americans evacuees gets blown out of the sky at takeoff.”

“...and if you look out the left side, you’ll see beautiful Mt. Herat (soon to be renamed), at over 25,000 feet, and if you look out the right side you’ll see one of the newly acquired Taliban Stinger Missles about to destroy our right engine.”

My guess is it’s already too late. We will know in a day or so.

Here is the next paragraph from the notice:

To register for any option that might be identified to return to the United States, you must complete this Repatriation Assistance Request for each traveler in your group. Spouses and minor children of US citizens in Afghanistan who are awaiting immigrant visas should also complete this form if they wish to depart Please do so as soon as possible. You must complete this form even if you've previously submitted your information to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. Do not call the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for details or updates about the flight. This form is only way to communicate interest in flight options. If we are able to arrange a flight, we will contact those who have indicated interest with additional specific information and will provide general information via the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.

And here is the handy dandy form - that they say is the only way to communicate:

U.S. Embassy Kabul Repatriation Assistance Request 2021, which is kindly written in Microsoft Forms ... (seriously, who uses that in the real world?)

So once again this joke of an administration mocks even itself.

And here is the latest covid information from the embassy:

Effective January 26, all airline passengers to the United States ages two years and older must provide a negative COVID-19 viral test taken within three calendar days of travel. Alternatively, travelers to the U.S. may provide documentation from a licensed health care provider of having recovered from COVID-19 in the 90 days preceding travel.

So, no negative test within three days, then no flight back to the US.

I am sure that will be a piece of cake under current conditions.

Might just be easier to smuggle oneself across the Rio Grande.

The Traitor BLM Gen Austin left these weapons on purpose and the Afghan soldiers handed them to their real leadership.
