More than 100 people were killed in a coordinated suicide bombing outside the Kabul airport on Thursday, including at least 13 U.S. service members and 90 Afghan civilians, making it the deadliest day for the U.S. military in Afghanistan since 2011. The terrorist group ISIS-K claimed responsibility, and President Biden has ordered the Pentagon to “develop operational plans to strike ISIS-K assets, leadership, and facilities.” Meanwhile, the evacuation of Afghanistan continues, and RCP’s Phil Wegman reports that in the 24 hours following the airport attack, approximately 12,500 people were flown out of the country on US military and coalition flights.

Afghanistan has developed into a tragedy for the Afghan people, a nightmare for the US military, and political disaster for the Biden White House, with very real consequences for America’s foreign policy.
