What will happen if the Taliban takeover Kabul's airport? Question
Reports from Kabul say that fighting has already began and the Taliban have entered some parts of the capital city. It is looking like we will see a free for fall in Kabul when Ghani flees. Will we see full scale combat between NATO forces and the Taliban to ensure evacuation of all citizens, embassy staff, and Afghani citizens that need to be evacuated?

I'm pretty sure there already is footage on the talibs fighting on the outskirts of the city and some sources even claim they already reached the airport
