Security Alert – Embassy Kabul, Afghanistan (August 25, 2021)
U.S. Embassy Afghanistan ^ | 08/25/21

Posted on 08/25/2021 5:21:20 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Event: Because of security threats outside the gates of Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so.

U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately.

Actions to take:

 


TOPICS: Foreign Affairs; Government; News/Current Events; War on Terror
KEYWORDS: afghanistandebacle; airport; americans; didyousearch; kabul; learntosearch; scrolldown; searchworks; securityalert; statedepartment; uswithdrawal
I guess they are on their own? This is terrible and total betrayal of our own people.

They are telling Americans not to go to the airport in Kabul. First the deadline was September 11th, then August 31st, and now it looks like they have been cut off.

I cannot imagine how many upset loved ones, families, friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc.. are feeling tonight? This is horrible.

Keep them all in your prayers.

Odd.

I have it on good Leftist Media authority that we can be proud of the mighty statesman Biden who powerfully rescued thousands from danger in Afghanistan when others said it couldn’t be done.

Nobel Peace Prize time, not renewed panic by endangered citizens over there./S

This is heartbreaking and horrifying.

It sounds like a joke, for us to tell people in danger to go to Facebook and Twitter.

Yea, but according to Biden, it’s their own fault.

Well looks like we are never going to know how many Americans are remaining, rescue is over. Ironically several days ago, the Biden team was wanting to get out in 72 hours.

Two weeks from now Pedo Joe will be acknowledged by the communist American media as the mastermind of the most successful evacuation in history.

"We'll evacuate every American citizen that comes to the airport. But, do not come to the airport."

The cynical part of me thinks this is what was being discussed between the Taliban and the Biden administration a few days ago. Make it seem like it’s a crisis, give Biden a chance to be a hero and get people out, and send pallets of money as a reward to the terrorists.

What are the chances you even have Internet or cell service in Kabul at this point. Maybe they could post their neighbors being beheaded on Instagram and see how many likes they get? The whole country is being run be angry black women and thirty somethings. What happened to giving the Taliban an ultimatum per the evacuation of our citizens, and sending in the Seals and Army rangers to enforce it. It seems there is a lot of equipment available all we have to do is go take it back.

A Benghazi on a gigantic scale. The Taliban know they can get away with anything now.

I have no doubt that is true. Biden fell into this Shiite hole, and, thanks to the rats 🐀 and their sycophants in the media, the a$$ hat in the white hut, will come out smelling like a rose.

It would be a shame if the Taliban read that list of things to do for Americans trapped in Afghanistan, and decided to cut off the internet. You would think all those Princeton and Georgetown International Relations majors at the State Department could come up with a list of actions specific for Afghanistan and not one used for all countries.
