The security situation in Kabul is changing quickly including at the airport. There are reports of the airport taking fire; therefore we are instructing U.S. citizens to shelter in place," the embassy said in a statement on Sunday.

If true, airplanes are grounded. Only way out is by chopper.
Democrats desperately putting together a narrative to blame Trump if everything goes really south and Americans are killed there by taliban
What chance does some american who cooks for the embassy or some engineer who worked on boilers for some american contractor have of getting out? Its gonna be the embassy upper class and the military brass who matter. If shots are ringing out around the airport already those Joe blow americans and journalists who remain are completely screwed.
maybe some of those shoulder launched rockets we left behind will be put into action, then what.....
This poop storm seems to be getting worse by the hour.
I think a SAM will take down a choppeer
They’ve had 6 months to empty the embassy and return people from the area.
The chaotic ineptness of the DC regime can’t handle this or the border crisis!
“Democrats desperately putting together a narrative to blame Trump if everything goes really south and Americans are killed there by taliban”
Americans will be taken hostage and ransomed. If the ransom isn’t paid, they will be executed with live streaming. That’s the kind of culture they have. As an aside, raping men and women hostages is common...actually, the amazing thing will be if they aren’t raped.
Trump needs to take responsibility for 4 years of management of this slow motion failure. But Biden was part of an administration that didn’t do any better for 8 years, and he has known since he took office that this deadline was approaching. I read last night that 4000 employees remained in the embassy as of Friday evening. Why are so many people still there?
What about the Blackhawk helicopters we’ve left behind?
Of course tge airport is under fire
Geeze I could have told them that from here sipping coffee on the porch on the Jersey Shore
5he enemyn,enemy, has them, but by golly at .east they don’t have our flags, current our faux CIC has ordered them all burned nOw
Dead Americans equals more guaranteed dem votes.
Getting to blame Donald is a bonus.
If I were the Taliban, I’d make the airport too dangerous for planes and helicopters and capture and torture the foreigners to tweak the noses of the inept leaders that have got the intestinal fortitude of Jello which in my opinion means pretty much all of them, especially ours.
Wow, I sure would hate to be reliant on the US State Department for anything these days, let alone my very life.
Those poor souls trapped in Afghanistan will most likely get captured, and either killed or imprisoned/ransomed thereafter.
If mortar, missile, and rocket fire impact the airport (and I’m certain it is or soon will be), then no jet pilot will dare fly in or out of there.
The Taliban will soon control that airspace, and may God be with anyone trying to get out alive.
The US-NATO ground troop footprint at the airport is probably mostly clerks and other REMFs right now. That “5,000 Infantry” discussion is probably still an ongoing movement, not an actual on-site presence.
What a complete and total nightmare.
Just negotiating for more ransom money.
Didn’t Joey blab and a certain chopper bought it later?
