UPDATE: A large explosion indeed occurred Thursday at one of the gates to the airport. You can check for updates here with the Associated Press, which still has reporters on the ground in Kabul.
Original article:
This is the result of one of the many errors of the Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan: Abandoning Bagram Airbase, which is now in the hands of the Taliban.
There is only one runway at the Kabul airport, and the place is tough to defend. Our service members are in danger there, and the perimeter is not secured and clearly now being threatened by someone.
According to a bulletin by the U.S. embassy in Afghanistan.
Because of security threats outside the gates of Kabul airport, we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so. U.S. citizens who are at the Abbey Gate, East Gate, or North Gate now should leave immediately.
The bolding of the sentence above is by the State Department, for emphasis.
Might be tough to get people into the airport if they can’t get to the gate.

I’m guessing no one will be receiving any “individual instructions.”
They’ve been abandoned.
This is just disgusting, inhuman, and terrifying for all involved. I pray that this will be the Democrat Party’s undoing, and American voters here will see the truth.
If this were happening under Trump, (which, of course it wouldn’t because he wouldn’t have pulled out of there half assed and backwards), there would be protesters outside the White House demanding his resignation or impeachment.
If this situation goes from bad to worse, (and I’m praying it doesn’t), Biden better go. If he doesn’t resign, the Republicans better start impeachment proceedings in 17 months, when they take over in January 2023. This is a hell of a lot more than a stupid phone call that they had hearings on for months and impeached Trump over.
Winners set the rules and deadlines. Losers obey. Taliban set the deadline of Aug 31st. Biden has nothing to say and having no pride or integrity will abandon Americans on hostile foreign soil to assure he makes his money from this mess.
Impeachment or resignation would also trigger a prolonged period of selecting and approving a replacement VP. Unless that person is already selected, vetted, and able to get a majority vote in both houses, Kammie has to stay put. No way they give up that 51st vote before losing control in 2023.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting an explosion near the airport – no details at this point.
The WSJ in today’s edition is also reporting the US is focusing on military exit days before Afghan deadline. It reports the US is loading onto the final planes leaving Kabul with 5,400 U S military personnel and essential equipment (there is only one runway at that airport). This means the gate has been essentially closed to Americans and our allies still in Afghanistan. May God be with them , with innocent Afghans and with our country and world for it has now become a much dangerous place. May God Almighty help us all.
Stolen elections have dire consequences.
Biden is currently being briefed by Blinkin, Austin, and Millie, so it’s safe to say things will be getting worse.
Impeachment will only give us President Harris, so that’s not an option. We need for SCOTUS to overturn the 2020 election and install the true winner, President Trump.
I totally, 100%, agree with you Oliver. The 2020 election needs to be overturned; it was stolen! The true winner, President Trump!
In 2012, four Americans lost there lives in Benghazi for absolutely no reason other than the feckless piece of human waste, Barack Hussein Obumbler and lying, cheating, crooked old bee eye tea sea H Hillary stood by and watched them be murdered by a bunch of rabid Muslims all for political reasons.
Now, we have 10 U.S. service men murder by a rabid Muslim suicide bomber in Kabul all because of the total ignorance and incompetence of a senile old man that was elected to the WH in a fraudulent election. What a useless waste. Just imagine if you are the family of one of these service men who died because of such incompetence by our communist DemocRATic leaders. Joe Biden, Commie-ho Harris and the DemocRATs must go in order to save this nation. Fly you flag upside as a sign of distresse, because this nation is in dire distress.
THIS WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
