South Korea Evacuates Embassy Staff as Chaos Ensues at Kabul Airport
At least it appears that the most of the ROK embassy was able to get evacuated before the current chaos unfolded at the Kabul Airport:
Sunday’s rushed evacuation of the South Korean Embassy staff in Afghanistan proceeded smoothly with the help of friendly countries, including the United States, a foreign ministry official said Monday.
South Korea has temporarily closed its embassy in the war-torn country and evacuated most of its diplomatic staff to a third country in the Middle East amid the Taliban militant group’s faster-than-expected advances to retake full control of Afghanistan.

You can read more at the link, but the ROK Embassy still has three personnel and a civilian stuck at the Kabul Airport because of the chaos. Here is what is going on at the Kabul Airport right now:
Chaotic scenes unfolded at Kabul’s airport on Monday as thousands of people rushed the tarmac in desperate attempts to flee Afghanistan following a takeover by the Taliban, which swept into the capital in a stunningly swift overthrow of the Western-backed government.
Videos posted to social media from Hamid Karzai International Airport showed Afghans clinging to a departing U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane. Others showed people falling from the wheel well of a jet just before takeoff.
Other planes were seen overloaded with Afghans who flooded across the runway to board them.

You can read more at the link, but people are literally being killed grasping the sides of C-17 aircraft that are departing. What an avoidable disaster.
100% Lying Pedo China Joe Biden’s fault. Lying Joe broke the agreement with the Taliban. Don’t get me wrong, Afghanistan was always turning back to the Taliban and how it was, but Pres. Trump had a plan with a solid agreement. Lying Joe has no clue, no plan, and no understanding of Afghan culture.
Flyingsword,
Just remember… even in military operations, pride cometh before the fall.
In this case it was LBGQTXYZBBQ Pride.
So while this is a bit of a rout militarily, at least everyone’s Transexual Awareness Training is up to date as we transition to a peacetime military where the pharmaceutical companies get their turn to loot the public funds in place of the military-industrial complex.
P3do the Dotard didn’t even have a kind word to say to the families of those who fell off the C-17s (and died) as the gear was raised.
He did say, in spite of sending 3-5,000 US troops to Kabul to protect the retreat, that _he_ wouldn’t send Americans to die in a country that wouldn’t defend itself…
I wonder how the rest of America’s (former?) allies are going to react to Bug-out Joe?
Videos of Cori Bush and Kabul airport in one week. Hey, things are looking up.
Ref guy in wheel well, that’s me escaping my country if/when death-shot mandates are enforced.
Mcgeehee, I’ll take my chances on bulletproof sense of correctness before I’ll take my chances on riding on the outside of any jet aircraft… /sad
Any thoughts on if this sticks to President Biden or not? I figure the majority of the media will cover for him and it won’t. Down the road history books may not be so kind.
Nothing ever sticks to certain Democrats. As long as he gets his cut, Joey Leg hairs will treat us worse than his son treats his wives and nieces
Or at least that’s how Kabul makes me feel.
