For those curious the US is conducting the withdrawal now and Turkey and Qatar are providing security. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-launches-drone-strike-islamic-state-after-afghan-airport-blast-2021-08-28/ https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/us-launches-drone...

My personal prediction is that we see a plane shot down on withdrawal. The airport is situated such that a bit of mortar fire could strand everyone. I’m really hopeful I’m wrong... I feel we are trading them legitimacy and a list of allies, for the opportunity to withdrawal. We shall see if that holds.
