The State Department has just issued this stark and troublesome warning to US citizens still in Afghanistan who want to get out and are either heading to the Kabul airport or are already there at the airport gates:
#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

They are telling American citizens stranded in Afghanistan that they are pretty much screwed at this point:
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.
U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately.
Biden has been very clear that our successful evacuation depends on the cooperation of the Taliban. And they know it too! They’ve walked all over him from day one and now they are now doing it harder because they know he’s a feckless coward who won’t do a damn thing to oppose them.
All this time we could have been sending our troops out into the city to get our people safely to the airport, and now the security situation has gotten so bad that we can’t even evacuate people already at the airport.
Because Biden won’t do what needs to be done to get our people out. Biden has the biggest muscles in the world and he won’t use them.
I’ve never seen a more solid case for impeachment in my lifetime. Biden is responsible for the worst foreign policy disaster in the history of the country, yet he wants the media to give him his props?
Here’s just a few of the many responses to this on Twitter:
