People Are Clinging to Landing Gears of Jets Taking Off (and Falling to Their Deaths) — Anthony Blinken: ‘This Is Not Saigon’
He's right, this is a hundred times worse than Saigon. Saigon held out for another 3 years after the US military withdrew
No words.
Just to say caution. Maybe you don’t actually want to see this.

Insane. Don’t have any other words.
The Kabul Airport.

If the US had the kind of parliamentary coalition governments that are the norm in Europe this would be an automatic resignation event.
What a mess.
The most dysfunctional and humiliating way to retreat you can possibly imagine. (On the other hand, this should give the Empire “Vietnam Syndrome” for at least 6 or 7 minutes.)
Locals near #Kabul airport claim that three young men who were holding themselves tightly on to the tires of a plane fell on top of people's houses. One of the locals said that the fall of these people made a terrifying noise. pic.twitter.com/wTWRkRCTSG

This is the civilian part of #Kabul Airport, #Afghanistan. These Afghans are not on the evacuation list of #US. They are trying to find a way to flee from #Taliban. They even are breaking into every civilian aircraft they find including this Airbus A340-313 of KamAir. pic.twitter.com/F7b5fFODbD

amerikan incompetence and stupidity can never be underestimated
Wonder how they’ll blame Trump for this….
Really though,,, American military has proven they can invade but have no clue on how to disengage.
Like Viet Nam it’s a shitshow. We should have never been in either one. But the MIC makes its dough selling the tools of war and that’s about all America has left after offshoring its production to foreign low wage slave states.
They should do the same with israel that actually attacked us many times.
Disaster
WONDERFUL !!!!!!!!!!!
