The United States ambassador in Afghanistan has fled the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for the airport, according to multiple news reports. This is President Joe Biden’s Saigon moment. And unfortunately, it was very predictable.
President Trump had a deal all worked out and in place to ensure that the United States military could withdraw from Afghanistan with strength and dignity, and all Joe Biden had to do was simply abide by the conditions already set in place. Had he done that, it would have been a huge win for the Biden administration, and they would have been credited for successful withdraw instead of Trump. It was a no-brainer. Then Joe did some 'thinking', and everything changed

Right now the whole world is watching in real-time the stunning and nearly unimaginable defeat the US military is having at the hands of the Joe Biden Pentagon. American flags are being burned, US personnel are fleeing in terror, and the Taliban suddenly looks like the new champion. The only thing that could make this worse would be hostage videos, with American soldiers confessing in a darkened room, with a gun to their head. Something makes me think we just might see that before all this is over. What a sad, pathetic day for the greatest military force ever assembled, the United States military, who at the moment, are leaderless.
Escape from Kabul: U.S. Ambassador Flees Embassy, Americans Told to ‘Shelter in Place’
FROM BREITBART NEWS: The ambassador fleeing the embassy came after Biden administration officials insisted the embassy would remain open. According to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, the airport was “taking fire,” and Americans were instructed to “shelter in place” at the airport.
The Embassy’s security alert said:
Event: The security situation in Kabul is changing quickly including at the airport. There are reports of the airport taking fire; therefore we are instructing U.S. citizens to shelter in place.

President Joe Biden, who left for vacation to Camp David on Thursday, ordered an additional 1,000 American troops to Kabul to assist in evacuating U.S. Embassy staff and Afghans applying for American visas, bringing the total of U.S. forces heading to Kabul up to 4,000, to assist the approximately 650 U.S. troops already there.
Earlier on Sunday, Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. The collapse of the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan came at stunning speed. U.S. intelligence estimates had predicted a collapse over months, not days. U.S. military officials up through Friday insisted a collapse was not “inevitable.” READ MORE
