@kim_staffieri@PaulRieckhoff The tweet sounds like they are just helping the 10k US citizens stuck in Afghanistan. Are they also helping SIVs? Also seems like the Biden Admin would have no choice but to evacuate US civilians in Afghanistan? How is it an option to leave thousands of your own citizens behind?
Chaos and desperation: note how the Afghans who are trying to storm the airport (and eventually succeed) barely react to the gunfire. They keep pushing through the gate even as shots are fired.
... not just American citizens, but perhaps some Afghan SIV applicants as well. We’re going to focus on getting people out of the country, then sorting it out at the next stop. It’s not going to be just Americans first, then SIV applicants," Kirby tells me.
@AlexHortonTX@mattczeller After collapse of many provinces to the hands of #Taliban most of #allies sought refuge in Kabul, but now the Taliban have reached the gates of Kabul & lurking to attack any moment. Where else should we seek refuge? @POTUS Please help your allies, we are at the brink of death.
