Wonder where that came from? I'd love to know if it's true.
No need to wonder. Here ya go. This took 4 minutes:

A twitter account from Kym RoX, with a source document of <checks notes> a imgr snip of a google maps search of the word "Afghanistan". She is highly influential with <checks notes> 2.3k followers (probably 70% of them or more bots), with mostly posts of pics of her attempting to be the 2020 version of Stifler's mom. For those that arent aware, that is a reference from the movie American Pie (1999).

So, do you think its true? Im not saying she's wrong, I'm just saying that...I'm not really sure how she would have any idea what was going on in Afghanistan...if she had to post a picture of the country of Afghanistan....to get credibility from her followers (or anyone viewing the tweet) that she was indeed talking about Afghanistan or not.

I mean...you can also do this yourself. Dont believe anything you hear on twitter.

I know that Christians are going to die, but I guess I'm relieved that this account is probably fake. What kind of person would make this up just for digital popularity???

As it should.
I debated a bit on posting that, I think we all need to see the full picture though.
I despise feral humans.

Why on earth would you do that after the government announced they were going to be getting out soon? I know the Bagram deal was out of the blue but jeeze.

LOL, I considered making a coach Tom Hermensa joke here, but he was a vastly better coach than Xiden is president, and don't feel it would be fair to him.

It's only a matter of time until those idiots take shots at a departing plane. I don't see how this doesn't happen.

According to the interview they went over there thinking they had more time to visit their family in Kabul, because they knew once the US pulled out they could never visit their family again, and then Biden pulls out of Bagram in the middle of the night without warning and things have gone to downhill from there. Biden administration has been lying to the public for months how they have all this covered and there was no way the Taliban could takeover.

And it is very dangerous. The Italian plane was probably an A400M, which is pressurized at altitude (as are C17's) and if they have to stay under 15K feet on the haul to the persian gulf it's quite a rough ride even if nothing mechanical/people are hit by the rounds.

Also keep in mind the media was not covering this until the Taliban had Kabul surrounded.

It is likely many people had no advance warning.

If they trusted Biden after our early July surrender of Bagram, this is just natural selection.

The Biden administration is going to leave thousands of folks there - tons of American citizens included - to die at the hands of a terrorist faction that he just ceded billions of dollars to.

Anyone that supports this administration has blood on their hands.

I read somewhere that they have family there, and the Biden administration assured everyone that everything was fine until it wasn't

Yea but didn't we announce the withdrawal by 9/11 in something like may? Just seems wild to try and make that trip with that looming. I do understand that this just shows further incompetence and deceit by this administration.

Looks like the evacuation is over at this point. Everyone has stopped and thousands now stranded.
