The situation at the US Embassy in #Kabul is more dire than what the State Department is saying. Mail has stopped. Nearly all employees are packing up and a very small number will head to another location. Staff are gearing up to destroy sensitive papers, computers, phones.

"For the last seven months I've watched Generals engage in twitter fights with people, debate the merits of Critical Race Theory on Capital Hill. It seemed like our generals were more concerned with fighting Tucker Carlson than they were the Taliban" - @SeanParnellUSA pic.twitter.com/7dwzBj6A2c
"If Donald Trump were presiding over the debacle in Afghanistan, the US foreign policy establishment would be loudly condemning the irresponsibility and immorality ... Since it is Joe Biden in the WH there is instead, largely, an embarrassed silence."https://t.co/WXCygbz6ss

Putin gets a pipeline. The Taliban gets a country. You lose your job, pay twice as much for groceries and gas, and get robbed and shot walking down the street. American Decay!

How did our woke generals fail so badly? They wasted billions and billions of dollars. The American people and especially those who risked life and limb in Afghanistan deserve answers from them. https://t.co/4MLLByRZrm

Afghanistan was a 20 year grift for the military-industrial complex in full public view which fell apart like a Wall St Ponzi scheme so understand why people are hesitant to trust the same govt when they start mandating health decisions
