A harrowing report from outside the airport in Kabul shows that the situation in Afghanistan has gotten so dangerous, tense, and time-sensitive that even battle-hardened troops said they have never seen anything like it. This from westernjournal.com.
Stuart Ramsay, reporting for Sky News early Saturday morning, described what he saw in what is now the second weekend of a dash to get out of Afghanistan for westerners and Afghan nationals who are hoping to escape from the Taliban.
“Every day the scene outside the British evacuation camp changes, every day it seems to get worse and this day there is a new sense of desperation,” Ramsay reported.
The Sky News veteran reporter admitted that he’s found himself growing emotional watching people, thousands of them, line up in hopes they will be airlifted out of the country.
Most of them will remain, he said.
“The narrow road that passes the compound, so often jammed with people right up to the doors of the entrance, is now blocked by two shipping containers,” Ramsay reported. “It means that there is at least some breathing space for the soldiers to attempt to process people — although it’s still chaotic.”
“Beyond the containers and beyond a line of paratroopers standing behind riot shields, it is quite simply horrendous,” he added.
The situation at the airport gate is now the epicenter of desperation as more and more people flood to the city’s airport every day.
On one side of the buffer zone between chaos and hope for evacuation are U.S. and British troops. On the other side are Taliban fighters whose acts of reported cruelty are widespread.
Everyone else is caught in the middle, Ramsay reported.

Ramsay described the situation as “utterly horrendous,” noting that swelling crowds have bunched together and several people are believed to have died on Saturday morning.
Soldiers who spoke to Ramsay said the situation on Saturday was the “worst thing they have ever seen in their entire careers,” he said.
Sky News reported that Americans, Britons and Canadians are struggling to break through the line, but some are not finding any success. The situation seems more perilous for Afghanis who know what fate they face if they remain when the rescue operation concludes.
British paratroopers and American soldiers are attempting to evacuate people, many of whom do not have any paperwork to leave the country. But there is no order to the historic airlift.
Despite endless reports such as these on the ground, the Biden regime has defended the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan as being one that was unavoidable.
Biden has remained defiant this past week in the face of international criticism and bipartisan scorn.
George Stephanopoulos with ABC News on Wednesday told Biden of reports of “pandemonium outside the airport.”
What kind of idiotic strategy is this fool mumbling? There can be no such thing as mitigating acts of violence and cruelty by the Taliban. This old fool is incapable of understanding the Taliban mindset. And despite Slow Joe’s optimism, soldiers on the ground say the situation continues to deteriorate.
