The night is still young!

US still has time to destroy most of its air assets donated to the Afghanistan air force. Do it.
If they had any such inclination they'd have done that way back. They want to create a new sink to drain their adversaries aka India, China dry.
This will not end well for the United Snakes.

This is the worst type of crisis situation to have from a political point of view, an active situation that drags on and on over days and weeks (26/11 was something similar for us). Biden's approval rating has already has already dropped to 41%, with covid running wild and huge covid related economic issues it was already expected that his approval % will drop to the 30's. With recent frack up, the pressure to do "something" will be enormous - only thing for us to watch is if this end up hitting the Paxi (the source) or just some random rag tags (i.e. makes no difference to us).

Some sources now claim 11 American soldiers have attained Valhalla. If so, this would be the biggest loss of life in a single incident for the U.S. military in Afghanistan since 2012. If 13 were killed, as some other sources claim, it will be the biggest loss of life in a single incident since 2011.

I am saying again, This is not ISIS but Taliban forcing USA to wrap up and leave more and more equipments to them in hurry. USA showed weakness in not going out and evacuating their citizens and now they may have many Americans dead if they are not inside the compound. Biden can we worst president in American history. No one is going to have a trust in America now.

Shit....some soldiers have died of their injuries, death toll in the 20s.

Back in America, Republicans calling on Biden to resign or face impeachment.
To impeach him the republicans need 67 votes. They have 50. Not possible to impeach him before 2022 mid term elections for the House, that too if Reps win most. Only possible now only if Dems support it too. I loosly know about this mathematics but the basics are correct.
Once impeached, the even bigger problem is Kamala as President and Elizabeth Warren or Pelosi as VP.

No they won't, That's why they blamed it on "ISIS-K" .
But muricans do hold grudges for decades sometimes.
Not this group of muricans. The current so called leadership is a headless chicken. They are incapable of even thinking, much less planning for future. Every single highlight policy of this regime has put USA in more and more jeopardy - whether it is border, immigration, law and order, critical race theory, covid management and what not.

The deep state thought they could control everything once they put their puppet in. But obviously they did not think that in an executive system like USA, having a senile puppet actually hurts more than helps. The USA leadership is running hither and thither like a headless chicken. It is obvious whoever might have believed themselves as the string pullers, don't even know what strings to pull - much less how to pull it!

The main industry of US is its military and it just lost all its credibility in a single week, and with it went its hard earned credibility since 1st Gulf war. To us, who keep note of what happens in countries like Syria or Libya, it was always apparent that US intervention makes life hell for local people and extremists get more and more active. But it was a fact that never came to the fore for sundry people to learn and know. The veneer of benevolent militaristic intervention that USA had put on for such a long time, has been yanked down and the ugly imperialist features are stark open before all now.

Tragic as this incident is, the American War Hawks are ringing the bells all over again. "For every American killed, a city in Afghanistan should be wiped off the face of the Earth."

Meanwhile, Emirati Media, Al-Arabiya on twitter says — "News sources reported two new explosions around Kabul".

What happens after August 31st, the Taliban limit for foreign troops to leave? With further attacks quite likely, given the chaotic situation at the airport, it is possible that not all foreign troops will have left.

Republicans wont impeach Biden even if they could. The alternatives - 1st Harris and next Nancy Pelosi - are politically as well as in every other way, much worse. With Biden in the helm, they can be sure to win both 2022 and 2024 congressional as well as senate races. Obviously, if polls are done with transparent way, Trump may be in WH again in 2024.

Patients burned to death in their beds, while the warplane overhead fired on survivors fleeing the wreckage. Surviving doctors and nurses tried to save their colleagues with emergency surgery in the kitchen, without anesthetic.

looking at his age he wouldn't even plan to run. Americans love fossil fuel but not as a prez
Nah he's already said he plans on running again. Granted that might change, but given how stubborn he is with running this time, I wouldn't be surprised.

This is going to haunt Biden for a while. If he runs again in 24 he is DONE.
He will have to 'live' in order to run for Presidency in 2024 and that is a long way from now.

The next three days will decide if 20+ American troops die or 200+ or 2000+.

What a colossal blunder by Biden but given its Demoncrats, I am not surprised at all.
