As recently as late June, US intelligence agencies estimated that even if the Taliban continued to gain power, it would be at least a year and a half before Kabul would be threatened. ⁦@SangerNYT⁩ ⁦@helenecooper⁩ https://t.co/2jJDSQBEGX — PolitiTweet.org

@tmg @jimhuylebroek @NajimRah "But for millions of Afghans, including tens of thousands who assisted the U.S. efforts in the country for years, there were no bracelets. They were stuck in the city, wondering not if but when the Taliban would enter." — PolitiTweet.org

The Kabul airport tarmac is filled with troops, contractors, diplomats and civilians all trying to catch a flight out of the city. Those eligible to fly were given special bracelets, denoting their status as noncombatants. @tmg @jimhuylebroek @NajimRah https://t.co/oJvBXUtAdG — PolitiTweet.org

The Taliban have reached the outskirts of Kabul and say they are negotiating to take it without force. The American evacuation has begun. A core group of US diplomats who had planned to remain at the embassy were being moved to the airport. https://t.co/b0fsCoNs5o — PolitiTweet.org

Trump for days has been blaming Biden for the escalating disaster in Afghanistan. In his statement today, Biden blames Trump. Regardless of who you agree with, it's notable that neither one wants to take credit anymore for the American withdrawal that both once bragged about. — PolitiTweet.org

"In the wake of President Biden’s withdrawal decision, the U.S. pulled its air support, intelligence and contractors servicing Afghanistan’s planes and helicopters. That meant the Afghan military simply couldn’t operate anymore,” reports @yarotrof https://t.co/esswORoX7M — PolitiTweet.org

Graham's friendship with Trump is less about transformation than gyration, an infinitely adaptable operator seeking validation in proximity to power, rooted in a childhood of privation and loss. ⁦@GlennThrush⁩ ⁦@Jo_Becker⁩ ⁦@dannyhakim⁩ https://t.co/KKvLGAhU34 — PolitiTweet.org
