Afghanistan Gains Will Be Lost Quickly After Drawdown, US Intelligence Estimate Warn

[Ryan Ruck]

Something interesting about this I'm finding on the domestic front is how A) Biden is getting savaged in the liberal press almost universally and B) how Kamala is absolutely nowhere to be seen.

I'm wondering if this is going to be the event that's used to leverage Biden into stepping down and putting the more radical and lucid Kamala in the Oval Office as I've suspected was the plan all along.

.@Channel4News have reported that the UK ambassador to Afghanistan, Laurie Bristow, has remained at Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport and is personally processing visas for Afghans wishing to escape to the United Kingdom.

He doesn't intend to leave until the end.

Judging by the pics of #LittleBirds at the #kabul airport I’m guessing the varsity team has arrived in town. Hopefully they’ll be used to rescue Americans trapped outside of the airport perimeter but we shall see…��������#afghanistan pic.twitter.com/YphgV7Pr9f

NEW: via @alanacbs photos of a flight that left HKIA, landed in Tblisi and then continued on to Norway.

The flight contained a large number of kids… from babies to teens… traveling alone.
