The image of the American military plane leaving the country in a hurry and fear will be preserved in the archives of history, as it tries - with the evacuation of its nationals - to gather what remains of its pride, and around it large crowds of Afghans seek salvation from the unknown future, even on the wheels of the plane.

Saigon moment again!

Shocking images of desperate Afghan people chasing and scaling US military aircraft to flee show how ruthless the US is when it turns its back on its allies, leaving people they claimed to support feel betrayed.

The scene of some Afghans clinging to the flying planes and their downfall formed one of the most shameful moments in the modern history of the West - as commentators said on social networks - to be an icon that always reminds Washington's allies of what an ally can do to them in no time.
