Unverified claims on Twitter - Ze Germans have tucked tail and run. All military planes+troops out of Kabul airport

Looks like Benghazi-2. Its going to be a long night and a longer day tomorrow being Friday.

Ola-O-Uber.
German troops were also involved in a firefight a few days back.

Also they had over the past few days been rushing military helicopters to kabul via transporters to get their people out who were unable to reach the airport.

Most probably BND had credible intelligence about the incoming shitstorm and the decision to evacuate with all important personnel was made.

may be designed to send a message to afghans not to evacuate.

======


The Taliban is not allowing Afghans to leave - which means the LES (Locally Employed Staff) from U.S. Embassy Kabul will be stranded - and in severe danger.

They stayed to help.

Secretary Blinken failed to evacuate them & other State Dept employees.

This is heartbreaking.


The US military is establishing alternative routes to Kabul airport because ISIS-K poses a possible threat to the airfield and surrounding areas

The Kabul airport attack has nixed hopes of evacuation for the last thousands still hoping to make it out. Am hearing the US military is sealing shut the airport gates. The casualty numbers are growing by the minute. A tragedy piled on a tragedy.

This is not ISIS but secret understanding between USA and Taliban to leave Afghans stranded and USA making a quick exit. Afghans who haven't left are stuck there now.

His success ratio is less than 1% and doesn't mentions Afghanistan. So, open to interpretation.

Further, as per twitter rumor from 3 4 days back, Friday was rumored day of attack but happened today.

Doubt US is involved this time but talibani influence is guaranteed.

The longer foreign nationals are present in kabul aka hostages for taliban the longer the west stays away from rebels fighting against taliban.

ISIS is just a red herring.

They want to ensure the last US military boots leave Afghan soil at the earliest.

Let's see how US handles this mess.
