U.S. military dogs in Kabul evacuated from the city’s airport among other officials as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan.

Ian Pannell reports live from Afghanistan and Martha Raddatz provides analysis on"This Week."United States troops have taken control of the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, as chaos continues after the Taliban took control of the country.

"The crowd was out of control. The firing was only done to defuse the chaos" and prevent the crowd from storming the runway," the official told Reuters.US soldiers take up their positions as they secure the airport in Kabul on Aug. 16, 2021, after a stunningly swift end to Afghanistan's 20-year war, as thousands of people mobbed the city's airport trying to flee the group's feared hardline brand of Islamist rule.

When asked in an interview with British radio station LBC why he was taking it so personally, he said,"Because I'm a soldier. It's sad, and the West has done what it's done, and we have to do our very best to get people out and stand by our obligations." But the envoy, Zamir Kabulov who oversees Russia’s Afghan policy, said in a radio interview with Echo of Moscow the Taliban had learned its lesson from 20 years ago when the world moved against them as terrorists.

Perhaps you should read a real journalistic take on the debacle - WaPo did a great job.

هذه الإنسانية العظيمة من أمريكا اللعينة.

🤣 what would anyone who worked with US as traitor to their country expect than this?

It,'s a real Cowbpoy's way of life.

$2 Trillion and 20 Years later, it all ended in complete fiasco. Soviet soldiers were leaving with their heads high and afghan government was able to defend by themselves against US sponsored Taliban and Bin Laden for 3 more years. It took 1 day for US puppet regime to fall.

They do very important work for our military, just like K9s, rescue, companion dogs etc. They are military!!

Hhhhh

美国狗有位置,但是美国的狗没有位置

This is some really incisive reporting. They are probably evacuating guns, shoes and clothing.

It's not about the dogs! It's about priorities!

Do you still remember the saved cat 🐱 from California broken buildings 🤬

The dogs are classed as troops and have done dangerous work for America the dogs deserve to be saved everyone needs to stfu 🤬

there is no way I would leave my dog behind. let’s see my dog that I have know and taken care of for years and has had my back always versus some stranger…? it’s not that person’s fault this war if happening neither their responsibility to save other ppls lives. dogs are fam too

The biggest rabid dog Ashraf Ghani ran away first.

sad how dogs are getting better facilities to escape than humans

Biggest terrorist ORGANIZATION group American NOTO Israel group ORGANIZATION

If you have place for dogs you should have place for humans also. Take these people walking with ur planes with you they believed in you and you failed.
