The numbers of 52,000 evacuated sounds phony. How did they get into the airport? I am suspecting that to build up the numbers for public consumption, this administration is just opening the gates and letting Afghans who were blocking the airport and who had no association with the US effort there in to fly out, just so they could add numbers to the evacuation count
I wonder if the 52,000 figure includes every person that has left the country by any means, not taking a flight. Plenty of folks I would think many traveling across borders to neighboring countries by car.
