Criminals: Obama, Bush, Clinton a few days after the 2010 #Haiti earthquake to announce a fake charity, Bush Clinton Haiti Fund.

Profiting off Haitian misery is the norm for these devils.

US evacuation efforts focused on "thousands of American citizens who have been resident in #Afghanistan, as well as locally employed staff of the US mission in #Kabul & their families and other particularly vulnerable Afghan nationals" per @DeptofDefense @StateDept
— Jeff Seldin (@jseldin) August 15, 2021

And what about other nationals? Hopefully there is in fighting in the airport. Americans first must enrage all the others. Hopefully this is creating mistrust among the "allies". I would like to see fire fights between British and Americans or Germans and Americans. This should be the end of NATO.

It doesn’t look like the US has been able to set up a perimeter around the airport, seems like civilians can just enter at will pic.twitter.com/KMgGltJrav
— OSINTtechnical (@Osinttechnical) August 15, 2021

Maybe the Marines are just securing the military part of the airport and ignoring the civilian part.

I’m hearing multiple accounts of civilians being injured in scenes of chaos on tarmac in #Kabul Airport as desperate people try to get flights. Those who went to the airport hours ago now face #Taliban checkpoints if they want to go back home. Nightmare.

Evacuations continue at #Kabul airport even as airport walls and outed perimeter is taking intermittent direct fire. Military aircraft are crammed into the airport, from the apron to the taxiway to the military hangars, as foreigners and Afghans clamour to leave #Afghanistan. https://t.co/OUQG9hD89z pic.twitter.com/V2LKFzi1hl

More chaos, the Frenchies relocate to the airport,

Just in: France is relocating its embassy to Kabul airport in light of the “extremely rapid deterioration in the security situation in Afghanistan.”

Macron has ordered the armed forces to deploy military reinforcements and aircraft to the UAE to begin evacuations to Abu Dhabi.
