KABUL/Afghanistan update
VERY PLANNED
HAPPENING
details about the Kabul airport explosion. Fox News person added that it was apparently a suicide vest detonation
Happened at the Abbey Gate
Pentagon briefing about it slated for 10:30 Eastern Time (25 mins from now)
MORE details
god damn it
"Dozens of casualties"
PICTURES of aftermath of Kabul explosion
"Several injured in an explosion near Kabul airport gate." -- via twitter.com/AsvakaNews/
"This is truly a nightmare scenario"
at least three US troops injured
First potential estimate of Kabul causalities is 11 dead
So I guess the Abbey Gate and Hotel explosions were separate (coordinated?) attacks
POSTPONED because of course
"At least 13 people have been killed in an explosion outside Kabul airport, a Taliban official has told Reuters news agency. Children are among those killed and Taliban guards have been wounded, the spokesperson said." -- twitter.com/SkyNews/
🔥🔥
(Warning GORE)
VIDEO on the ground in Kabul showing the aftermath of the explosion
"US & civilian causalities"
😔
More video from Kabul
I can’t describe this scene
I covered a lot of grizzly and bloody moments over the years but I still can’t handle…. That.
52 wounded
the situation as it stands at the moment
everything cancelled again
a lot of panic
To put it in simple terms: THIS IS THE BAD THING that EVERYONE was WORRIED about happening at Kabul airport.
Also since the story earned a PINNED thread on 4chan, you know it's serious business
"He was close to the blast, but was saved by not being in the sewage canal at the time. Says chaos is increasing."
CONTEXT of where the bombing happened
Compared to this
actually give me five seconds in microsoft paint
🚨BEFORE AND AFTER🚨:
KABUL AIRPORT. The clip on the left is from August 25th, whereas the one on the right is from the aftermath today.
Hope that helps bring perspective.
"I am hearing that there is another attack at HKIA's North Gate"
"Reuters reports an Italian defence source says shots were fired at an Italian military plane that was flying out of Kabul."
Anywhere from 30 to 40 now reported dead from the bombings
120 injuries
another report about US military people being killed
BIG KABUL UPDATE
"Our sources on the ground tell us gates are being welded shut."
🚨🚨🚨🚨FOUR Marines killed, THREE wounded in today's Kabul explosion, per WSJ wsj.com/articles/afgha…
😔
no time to cringe at this
"a number of" were killed
who knows what's happening there at this point. All of it is just bad.
That's unsurprising at this point
NOT TRYING TO DUNK
But LOOK at how optimistic Cindy McCain (tried) sounding when endorsing Joe Biden last year.
Compared to where we are, a year later.
🚨🚨🚨🚨THIRD REPORTED KABUL EXPLOSION, "COMPLEX ATTACK" HAPPENING
🚨🚨🚨MARINE causalities have gone up
from FOUR to apparently TEN
^^ (MAYBE MORE than ten dead U.S. service members)
yeah I'm gonna remember today
DONT CANCEL on us now
there's no words to describe it all
FREE ROUND OF FACT CHECKING PICTURES AND VIDS
CALIFORNIA PEOPLE feel free to ask Kamala all the questions you want.
Tomorrow at the... Cow Palace parking lot.
TWO NEW EXPLOSIONS AROUND KABUL
Causalities are up to 11 marines and a navy medic
that clears the schedule
"UK animal charity staff caught up in deadly Kabul blast" nypost.com/2021/08/26/uk-…
Don't forget
CANCELED because obviously
IT'S ON
"Despite this attack we're continuing the mission"
"We believe ISIS will continue these attacks"
.... O__O
I left to run an errand. I got multiple DMs....
NOPE. Nope. Nope. Yeah I'm on the IMPEACHMENT TRAIN now. politico.com/news/2021/08/2…
STOP THE CIRCUS
Yeah by this standard Biden needs to leave the oval office
“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list”
FOLLOWED BY
"Biden officials defended the move"
yeah. get the hell out of the White House.
“They had to do that because of the security situation the White House created by allowing the Taliban to control everything outside the airport”
LIKE
DONT EVEN GIVE A 5 PM SPEECH BIDEN
JUST GO
"Still, that U.S. officials handed over a list of Afghan allies and American citizens and residents shows the extent to which they outsourced security of the airport’s outer perimeter to the Taliban"
ALL ON #WOMENSEQUALITYDAY
HOW WILL THE US MILITARY PRIORITIZE 🎪🤡
yeah i need a minute
GOOD TO KNOW
THANKS TALIBAN
HEY I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS
WILD RIDE NEVER ENDS
Reactions
Biden says he'll counterattack ISIS
this is not an exaggeration
"FLASHBACK: General Milley said Bagram air base 'was not necessary tactically' for Afghanistan withdrawal. Why hasn't Biden fired him yet?" thepostmillennial.com/flashback-mill…
after today's disaster, Byrd seems like an afterthought
... fire Milley first and then come back around for the rest
To be direct: Sam Harris is saying he regrets backing Joe Biden
PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH
WELL THEN
AHAHAHAHAHA supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
PICKED A HELL OF A DAY TO DO THIS
MY GOD the polling numbers
fuck all of you playing Mass Effect instead
