There are some egregiously terrible reporting on Twitter of what is happening at the Kabul airport. I take the time to verify information and see what is credible and you should too if you are trying to get information for yourself. Just because a post has a bunch of retweets doesn’t make it true. This is mostly in reference to people claiming the Taliban is inside the airport or the military is mowing down crowds.
Apparently the Taliban are posted up outside the airport as “security” to not allow anyone in. There doesn’t appear to be any plans by then of entering the airport, likely until all foreign forces have left.

Photos of the two gunmen that were shot and killed at the airport earlier today by American forces. Not Taliban, but were apparently trying to rob people waiting around the airport.
Possibly tried to pose as Taliban to make things easier on their part? But who knows. There is a lot of kit and weapons floating around the city now from looting. There is even a video on snap map of some kids in Kabul wearing chest rigs they probably found.
Businesses in Kabul have been removing billboards and advertisements showing women without burqas to avoid punishment from the Taliban

Warning: Pretty horrifying footage of the body an Afghan stuck in the wheel well of a US Airforce C-17A after it took off from Kabul. The aircraft was diverted to Qatar for emergency landing as human remains caused mechanical failures to bring the wheels up.
Anyways, Lord Miles made it out.

Not the Taliban (footage from a Pakistan wedding) but a funny video nonetheless
Chinese state sponsored media coming out swinging
Really dropped the “once a war breaks out” not “if a war breaks out”
It truly amazes me that 1. Someone decided to make a Panjshir flag mod for GTA V 2. How often video game footage fools people
Chocolate Chocolate Chip?
I think it’s is crazy to believe that the Taliban now has all of the weapons, equipment, and vehicles of the Afghan military (besides the ones in KBL or Panjshir). A lot of which are American made.
