“Shelter in place”.

The most assinine advice EVER, given the situation.

Better advice: “Get a tan, dress like a native Afghan, buy a donkey and ride it to the nearest border.”

Sadly, I’ll bet a dozen doughnuts on “sidelines”.

I’m reading on other threads that all Americans are out and safely in Doha. Which is it?

They should have left 10 years ago or never gone there to begin with.

Including dependents and minor children?

Who would be fool enough for that?

Never, in the history of the world, has a population with a BMI over 30 risen up. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans are fat, lazy, entitled and cowardly. That said, there are still several million who are not!

US AMBASSADOR HAS LEFT THE EMBASSY IN #KABUL

Like if the Captain of the Titanic was pushing women and children out of the way to get into the lifeboat.

Whoa, that is very bad. Basically, they are trapped with no escape. They’re only hope is to wait for military force to find them and hopefully escort them somewhere, assuming the Taliban don’t take the airport.

Did Blincken put the lady with purple hair in charge of the Kabul embassy evacuation? Also is it true that the MSM forever loyal to Biden refuses to publish any picture of helicopters landing or in proximity to the America embassy in Kabul. Pray for those 5,000 brave young Marines and soldiers who once again will shed blood on behalf of vile and worthless politicians. How can Milley and Austin look in the mirror.\?

“How many people are still there?”

I’d guess thousands, including contractors. Would have taken at least a week of Berlin Lift-type flights to get them out.
