Done like a real Trump. In these times of uncertainty isnt it reassuring that some things and people do not change and stay true to their real inner nature?

Don't worry, they're switching things up, and getting ready to go after white conservatives inside the USA instead. Behold the new most serious threat facing our government. The only thing going for us is that they can't even beat cavemen after twenty years of fighting. At least, that's what it looks like to this unsophisticated minion.

Wouldn't call it new, really. And 'going for us?' Are you an actual 'militia' member with weekly meetings and all where 'we only had one guy blow his own limb off this weekend!' earns another cheer besides 'lock him/her up' and 'hang ______' while planning the next 'tourist visit' to D.C.? Or will that turn out to be 'just a term' you used?

I had to read twice to believe this.

German media report that an American transport had 640 Afghans aboard that were in parts pressed in by the Americans, in parts stormed the plane.

That is not what makes me swallow. What makes me swallow is those Germans again.

At the same time the Airbus of the Luftwaffe finally managed to land, and it had something on board that the germans are famous for. Lists and instructions. When the A400M, a quite huge plane I would say, I mean they call it a transport, not a Learjet, when that transport started again, it evacuated the record number of - seven people. Five Germans, a Dutch and an Afghan.

Because of those names on their list, only these were at the airport. Nobody had the idea - or the balls - to load the plane with oher people then. Well, it was night. The Afghans probably had all gone home for sleep. Maybe nobody was there who wanted to get out anymore.

It seems building airports and train stations are not the only things them Germans no longer can do.

Deutsche Pedanterie und Bräsigkeit. Shame.

The Germans have sent two more A400Ms. I wonder what for. At their carricature of planning, one Airbus is more than enough. The Taleban have tightened the outer ring around the airport. They seem to not want to move onto the perimeter, the Americans makke sure they won't. But the Taleban's blockade means nobody can reach the airport anymore.

300 or 400 German paratroopers and special commandos are on the ground, too. They are covered by US drones and communication options to call for US air support. Their original mission seems to have been to move through the city and pick up names from their precious tiny lists one by one and bring them to the airport. Its Kabul, its huge, its chaotic, its hostile, and full of Taleban. Have fun, guys. The list has all in all around 10 thousand names: local helpers and their families, German citizens and embassy staff.

Well, seven less now.

Its too late to get them out in big numbers. And I wonder whether that was intended. There are German national elections in septembre, and the migration crisis of 2015ff still echoes through the media. afghan migrants will become an issue - but please, not before the elections.

US President Joe Biden defends decision to pull out of Afghanistan.

Biden admits events developed quicker than he thought and blames Afghan leaders for the collapse.

Afghans left behind are speaking of the terror on the ground.

Military flights evacuating diplomats and civilians have re-started at Kabul's airport.

Officials say it is a much quieter scene on Tuesday, but witnesses report occasional gunfire.

At least five people were reportedly killed at the airport on Monday as thousands tried to flee.

Some tried to cling on to planes - human remains were reportedly found in the wheel well of one US aircraft.

There are unconfirmed reports that various members of the Afghan military plus tribesmen, local militias,etc. are organizing a resistance to the Taliban in some northern districts under the leadership of the son of the former Northern Alliance leader Massoud, who was murdered by the an Al Qaeda spy posing as a reporter just before 9/11. If this is so, we may see a new Northern Alliance spring up---probably supported by Russia ---as before.
