Who will be on the last flight out of Kabul :?
It's usually the captain of the ship so I expect there to be agreements so that the last plane can leave in peace.

So the Taliban are now regarded as the government over there?

Dear me, we're in trouble...

They are not on the list of classified terrorists.

I've just heard that too so it's obvious that leaving the country to fall into the hands of the Taliban is fine with the American administration. The terrorists are ISIS and now the "K" variety and Al Queida etc.

That aside, how on earth will the last people get out? There's already been nearly a hundred killed in the heavily guarded area so far, eventually, there will come a time when there is nobody to guard the airport :headscratch:

Be prepared for fireworks.
Has anyone ever seen such a botched up job?
The American government are a disgrace and now we can see why people say the Americans have never won a war.
Humiliated in Vietnam but this what we are living through now is probably worse.

I am all for helping those who stood by the allies but really the UK is full up.
