Report: France evacuates French and friendly Afghans from their embassy to Kabul Airport. Granted, the French have a smaller footprint than the Brits and much smaller than the US. Still, they appear to have left no one behind. When we need to take military lessons from the French, can you bring yourself to admit that something might be slightly wrong here? When the French could not rely on the US, as they had in the past, but took things into their own hands, can you agree that they sensed something about the Biden administration that caused them anxiety?

Two nights ago, French police escorted out of the embassy in the green zone of Kabul the French, Afghan and international families to whom 🇫🇷 had offered shelter. The diplomatic and consular team of the embassy has taken care of them at the airport and they have been evacuated. pic.twitter.com/FxqgU7oQ3z
