WSJ ^ | 8.26.21 | Yaroslav Trofimov

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.

This is all on Biden and those who voted for him and/or helped him steal the 2020 Presidential election from Donald Trump. >:(

Wait till they start making demands and beheading American hostages a few at a time.

I figure that will start immediately following the 08/31 withdraw date.

How likely do you think it is for a United States Air Force C-17 pilot to taxi alongside 100-200 afghans, unmolested? Don't you think, since according to the "news", US controls the airport proper, Taliban only the perimeter, that Air Force and other military would not make sure the taxiway and runway being used by a C-17 would be clear of ANYBODY? I won't even get into the story of 2 people falling out of a departing C-17.

if ANY of these dim bulbs had even 2 brain cells firing, they would get LTC Ollie North on speed dial and do as he has suggested repeatedly! Again, I said “IF”

They now control a country with stranded sitting ducks. We're in a bad position.

Yep, I was born redpilled. Now I’m whitepilled. They’re all worthless.


Absolutely. My family has voted for Rubio 4 times. Never again.

The GOP controlled Senate could have pounded Biden 24/7 with Hunter and FBI corruption for many weeks in the run up to election day. All they did was a CYA report. The GOP owns every one of Biden’s disasters. Period.

Try as the Media can to say Trump did this—Biden Owns the Kabul disaster. The Blood is on his hands. Time for Trump to give a speech and denounce Biden’s failures and offer his advise. Leadership must be be shown—NOW. Who else is there? Nancy Pelosi? The Turtle? Harris? Rice? Hillary? Now that blood has been spilled America need action.

What on earth are you talking about. To make a claim about it being false flag, I’d hope you have something to back it up. Otherwise you sound insane.

Biden will counter saying “Well at least they’re not blowing up people in groups anymore - they’re showing restraint”

I was just about to post this update and that number is going to go up even if there are no further attacks. And there will be additional attacks.

RIP to all that were murdered today.
