State Dept Warns U.S. Citizens to Avoid Kabul Airport Area Due to Security Threats
How are we supposed to get U.S. citizens out of Afghanistan if the State Department keeps issuing these security alerts?
Everything is fine. It’s fine. Everything is fine.
“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,” the State Department explained.
#Afghanistan: Due to threats outside the Kabul airport, US citizens should avoid traveling to the airport and avoid airport gates unless you receive instructions to do so. Those at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately. https://t.co/InzuVjXhLT pic.twitter.com/6ncsJBEVLu

Go to the roof of the embassy and we will come and get you with a helicopter.
That would be a DRASTIC IMPROVEMENT over what’s going on right now.
Except that the classic picture from Vietnam wasn’t the embassy but one of 18 staging points and was an apartment building.
Does the US still control the embassy?
I do not believe Kamala will be able to stay out of the country until this is over.
Tinfoil tiara time. Once again. Mary asks, quite rightly, “How are we supposed to get U.S. citizens out of Afghanistan if the State Department keeps issuing these security alerts?”
The only conceivable answer is that we are not. We are not supposed to get U.S. citizens out of Afghanistan. We’ve heard for days now that the only Americans being evacuated are those “who want” to leave. The rest are happy to stay with the Taliban and be tortured, beaten, beheaded, have their eyes gouged, and be raped and sodomized on the street. They clearly chose that over, oh, I don’t know, getting the frack out of Dodge.
We have two choices here: either this is the most imbecilic and clueless administration ever to assemble, or leaving thousands of Americans to the mercies of the Taliban (and ISIS and al Qaeda) was intentional.
I’m not discounting the first option and am willing to embrace the power of “and” here. But the thing that is really standing out to me as this unfolds is not just the haphazard bass-akwards withdrawal (the military BEFORE civilians? BEFORE getting out or destroying billions in weaponry, ammo, tech, aircraft from black hawks to drones, and etc.? BEFORE even telling our allies (and then refusing their calls for well over 24 hours?)? What the actual frack is going on?
It seems to me that the Biden admin simps were played, and hard, by the deep state. Oooh, look at the shiny! We can draw down and have a wonderful photo op, fabulous speech on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The optics! The victory! The wow! How can a party led by such a decisive leader, a WINNER, a man history will glorify fail in the 2022 midterms? Carrot dangled, and immediately gobbled up by the poll driven simps in the Biden administration.
Meanwhile, the deep state knew exactly what would happen. Everyone who watched ISIS rise up from the ashes of Obama’s Iraq withdrawal knew what would happen. Everyone except Team Biden who were still smarting from not getting to have their July 4th party celebrating blah blah milestone on Independence Day. Was there ever an easier group of self-important suckers to play? And by the alphabet agencies who have had decades to learn how to exploit weakness from the revolving WH door to their own benefit?
This is not about ending war; it’s about propagating it. Watch what happens next when the Taliban starts dispatching by the most barbaric means possible American and allied citizens, watch as the Western world again embraces wars of vengeance . . . and as the military industrial complex, its alphabet spy and LE agencies, start cashing in.
The War on Terror 2.o is about to be launched, and from where I sit, it looks completely manufactured by the deep state who found the Biden team’s incompetence, dismal ignorance, and partisan glory-seeking laughably easy to manipulate.
No wonder they wanted President Trump out of office.
::: tinfoil tiara off:::
Just as the ambush of the Seals’ helicopter was a payoff by Obama, the Americans left to suffer are a “gift in kind” as payoff for all the hurt we put on the Taliban.
I am still fuming mad about Obama taking out our SEALs.
Madder’n the snake that married the garden hose?
“We’ve heard for days now that the only Americans being evacuated are those “who want” to leave.”
That’s how it was on 9/11 when the twin towers was attacked. Rescue workers said they would rescue all who wanted to be rescued, right? Hell no, they didn’t say that! They rescued everyone they possibly could.
Well, you say, “They set a deadline didn’t they?” The taliban told the US. “You have to remove all rescue workers by a certain date or we will get really mad.”
Don’t you see how ridiculous all of this crap is that Biden and his enablers are using to cover their ass? It’s like something out of the Three Stooges.
It really is, UserP. But hey, the Obama leftists currently running the Biden admin wanted America taken down a few notches, peeing on our allies and being the butt-monkeys of the Taliban certainly fits that bill.
Well, it took Biden down a few notches too. He’s a goner, I think.
And Kamala is riding her camel to the rescue. Here I come to save the day!
I don’t think tinfoil is necessary, it’s a right-honorable tiara to wear. Either we help these people out or we don’t. The US clearly isn’t doing all it can.
I do love my tinfoil tiara, Colonel, but yeah, it’s not really needed now given that we can all see what is happening in real time.
Personally, I was not paranoid until I realized they were plotting against me.
It would be sadly ironic if the Taliban celebrated 9/11 by torturing and killing Americans in Afghanistan. And, even sadder if the Media refused to cover it.
There will always be media to cover it.
When I was a kid, if someone would have told me that someday I would be reduced to having to learn the truth from news organizations with names like Sputnik News and Russia Today, I would have kicked them in the shin.
They are only good at fear mongering and demonization to win elections.
Luckily they are pissing off enough countries that the way back to war in Afghanistan will likely be barred.

Any dictatorship stays in power by having control of the military. The present generals in charge are bought off. What this does is alienate the military from the populace…. the military is now an extension of the Democrat Party. Guess where the next war on terror takes the military? Hint: Anywhere “red”.
Stay away from the airport? Okay, so what’s your ‘Plan B?’
Also stay away from the airport. The same as “plans” C, D, E, and F.
AMTRAK!
“Everything is fine. It’s fine. Everything is fine.”
I read earlier that they are actually expecting praise for the great job they’ve done!! They’re psychopaths.
Looks like they have 5 days to end this otherwise it will end on Taliban terms, and in reality can any minute if the airport gets shut down.
Plenty of opportunity in this for a wise democrat. Pay a couple million each for a ransom and kick back 10% to the “facilitator”. Those Antifa mobs aren’t gonna pay themselves.
I’ll stick to my advice to raze Kabul off of the face of the earth once ISIS or the Taliban start killing people. Or sooner. We soon won’t be able to find those Americans and we cannot allow ourselves to be paralyzed in angst over how history will judge us if we act.
We absolutely cannot allow Biden’s Air Force gift to end up in Iran. It is far past time to annihilate this ancient evil from existence. If they insist on living in an evil ancient culture that the Romans would have destroyed, let them suffer the same fate as Carthage. Not a building left standing. Whoever survives scatters in all directions with no home to return to. Total annihilation.
This is where “kinder, gentler” good intentions and $2T+ got us. And that’s not counting the trillions wasted on building the most fearsome military in history that we dare not use? End it now! And all you squeamish people? Just look away and put your fingers in your ears. Men at work.
They’ve started. Suicide bombing and firefight at Abbey Gate, Kandahar airport. US casualties reported.
Both Fox News Radio and Glenn Beck are reporting an explosion at one of the gates at the airport in Kabul. No reports of damage/casualties yet.
Glenn Beck? He’s a worthless turd. Maybe he can rub some chocolate pudding on his face an do an imitation of Biden the same way he used cheetoes for Trump.
Not my favorite guy either, but our opinion of him is irrelevant. His reporting on this is accurate. There’s been a double suicide bombing and firefight at Kabul Airport with reports of multiple casualties, including US Marines.
An continued lock down of the gates and end of the evacuation of Americans. The worst thing the Taliban could do is to actually breach the fence line and walls and let the Afghans flood in with a mix of suicide bombers and fighters to add mass confusion.
And if a suicide bomber managed to get on a plane. Bad could so easily go to worse.
