But this morning, the situation was much worse. One of the only ways out is for military aircraft, including the United States, to evacuate its people and allies. When an American plane seemed to be about to take off, people followed it desperately. Some people sat in the wheel wells hoping to leave, but when the plane was in the air, it fell off.
Graphic image warning.

This is just a horror show. Where does Joe Biden promise that if the Taliban attacks/endangers Americans, he will take action against the Taliban? I think all this meets the conditions. But if he leaves his job on vacation without permission, he may condescend to talk to us,”Few days. “But as we pointed out, when the White House yesterday released a photo of him holding a Zoom meeting with the National Security Advisor, he did seem to take time to expose his CIA personnel.
Even the smallest amount of foresight, most of which can be prevented. But now this is the weakness and horror shown to the world.
This is your Saigon moment. https://t.co/2MmSGMKPP6
