We can confirm an explosion outside Kabul airport. Casualties are unclear at this time. We will provide additional details when we can.

U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately.

LOOOOOOL. Biden is not going back in. He doesn't have the balls (or the functioning brain) to do that. He will double down to the "C'mon man. I made the right call."Skillet Shot said:
Does Biden continue to pull out or use this as a reason to go back in?
Probably the first real lose-lose situation this admin has had in regards to overall public perception. Gonna be real hard to talk themselves out of whatever decision they make...but Jen-nayy and company will certainly try.Skillet Shot said:

Thing is, it may not be the Taliban. It could be intel deliberately ruining something. The whole presence reported of IS is suspicious. Or similar bad actor types not of the Taliban meddling with the situation.Kool said:The Tolley Bonn is about to get a VERY strongly worded statement denouncing this malarkey.Ginormus Ag said:

They are mentioning that ISISK might be involved - although it doesn't really matter, does it ?aggiepaintrain said:
