Potential Islamic State threats against Americans in Afghanistan are forcing the U.S. military to develop new ways to get them out. U.S. citizens have been told not to go to the Kabul airport without instruction from a U.S. government representative. https://t.co/Pfc4fLXH2D
But Biden said
Biden: "I have seen no question of our credibility from our allies around the world."
Armin Laschet, Merkel's choice for successor in Germany: "It's the biggest debacle that NATO has suffered since its creation."

The Taliban has placed security for Kabul in the hands of the Haqqani Network, which has a long-standing association with al-Qaida. https://t.co/0cez4gKb0x cc: @JoeBiden

This is how the Taliban propaganda machine is mocking the United States under the Biden administration.
Notice the U.S.-made weapons & equipment.

Evacuations continued from the Kabul airport on Saturday after a backlog of evacuees caused an 8 hour pause in flights on Friday. The subsequent chaos caused empty flights last night, with two flights carrying just seven and eight people.
