West warns of possible attack at Kabul airport amid airlift: (early before suicide bomber blast)
KABUL, Afghanistan — Western nations warned Thursday of a possible attack on Kabul’s airport, where thousands have flocked as they try to flee Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in the waning days of a massive airlift. Britain said an attack could come within hours.
Several countries urged people to avoid the airport, where Belgium said there was a threat of a suicide bombing. But with just days left before the evacuation effort ends and American troops withdraw, few appeared to heed the call.

Will they bother to wake JoeJoe and get him to change from his footy pajamas into his Big People’s clothes?
Biden tried, but the Taliban reneged. Not Joe’s fault! /s
Fox News is reporting 4 Marines killed, 3 injured.
FNC reporting same. RIP brave heroes.
This is an outrage. More incompetence from the Biden Administration compliments of Biden voters and a highly suspect fraudulent election.
😥😠
Biden lied people died
I heard one explosion could have happened in the middle of 100 Christians and 300 Afghan children waiting for their flight. A 2 star general made them wait outside the gate.

The U.S. ambassador in Kabul has told staff there that four U.S. Marines were killed in an explosion at the city’s airport and three wounded, a U.S. official with knowledge of the briefing said. Two explosions ripped through crowds of Afghans trying to enter the airport on Thursday.
At least three U.S. troops were injured, a U.S. official said. Witnesses reported multiple fatalities among the Afghans, many of whom were trying to enter the airport because they had assisted U.S.-led coalition efforts and feared persecution by the Taliban.
Trump, IF he were reinstated right now, would IMMEDIATELY hold a press conference, and look the camera face on and say to the taliban “HUGE MISTAKE! START RUNNING NOW!”
Instead, biden will likely say “we are so sorry we made you do this, p,ease don’t hurt us again, we are trying to get out, per your demands, as fast as we can”
Looks like Biden’s taking this in stride as collateral damage. He and his co-horts are heartless . But then we knew this as his track history in just months has proven so time and again. Therefore I have no expectations except further chaos and unconcern by this administration ....they’re incompetent and vile!
A straight-forward mark of intelligence confirmed by generations of experience, is to LEARN FROM MISTAKES! Joe Biden was Obama’s VP when our Government futzed up the Benghazi attack! Now as President, with the ultimate CIC responsibility, Joe Biden has proven the LACK of intelligence!
The word ‘feckless’ is entirely too weak to describe Joe’s decisions here! There are FOUR new Gold Star Families that he must take responsibility for!
Plus 3 US Marines so far.
Now 4 marines.
Actually I blame biden voters more
Sociopaths.
