“I’m furious. I feel helpless.” One of every four US foreign service officers served in Afghanistan or Iraq at some point in the last 20 years and many are haunted by the unfolding crisis in Afghanistan. @ak_mack @RobbieGramer https://t.co/Y7H2Ux1uI3 — PolitiTweet.org

Former Obama adviser on Afghanistan tells @IChotiner: “The Taliban have these lists of targets, women and journalists and activists ... and they go into their offices and houses, and they terrify their families, and they intimidate these individuals.” https://t.co/j3mPy00TEt — PolitiTweet.org

Biden's decision not to begin a mass evacuation of Afghan interpreters, guides and relatives earlier has left thousands of people in limbo, stranded in a country now controlled by the Taliban after 20 years of war. ⁦@KannoYoungs⁩ ⁦@anniekarni⁩ https://t.co/HFr85Qnlag — PolitiTweet.org

In Israel, one of the world's vaccine success stories, a new wave of infections is approaching the worst days of the pandemic last winter, with the daily rate of confirmed new virus cases more than doubling in the last two weeks. ⁦@IKershner⁩ https://t.co/5ZOsQ3v9op — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden team's cold political calculation is that Americans won't care what happens in Afghanistan as long as Americans are safe. To their point, today there are no front-page stories on Afghanistan in cities like Boston, Austin, Chicago, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Fresno or Miami. — PolitiTweet.org

Support for Biden’s decision to withdraw from Afghanistan falls, but more Americans still favor it than not. As of now, 40% are for the pullout, down from 50% a month ago, while 28% oppose it, according to @YahooNews @YouGov poll. @AndrewRomano https://t.co/QokrXfn6ls — PolitiTweet.org

A day after suggesting they had changed, the Taliban meet a public display of dissent in the Afghan city of Jalalabad with force. Taliban soldiers fire into the crowd and beat protesters and journalists. @MarcSantoraNYT @jimhuylebroek @carlottagall https://t.co/2ughRmYk5k — PolitiTweet.org

Biden says chaos was inevitable in Afghanistan once the US left. “The idea that somehow, there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens,” he tells @GStephanopoulos https://t.co/vjZ6BtsHlG — PolitiTweet.org

“'America is back' has been the refrain." But to do what, asks ⁦@NYTimesCohen⁩. Biden's planned democracy summit "looks far less credible now that Afghan schools may be closed to girls again and Afghans who believed in freedom are desperate to flee." https://t.co/pE64knvyvJ — PolitiTweet.org

Biden, 2002: "History is going to judge us very harshly, I believe, if we allow the hope of a liberated Afghanistan to evaporate because we are fearful of the phrase nation-building." Biden, 2021: "Our mission in Afghanistan was never supposed to have been nation-building." — PolitiTweet.org
