Listening to Joe Biden weasel his way through, on national television, talking about the United States exit from Afghanistan was laughable.
This man is the Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces and immediately he wanted to justify his incompetent handling of the Afghan mission by blaming former President Trump. President Trump negotiated a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan because that’s what he promised the American people.
It was up to Joe Biden, the newly elected president, to implement such policy. He failed because he didn’t care.
Just a few months ago, he was bragging about how the Afghan military was such a well trained and equipped fighting force. Well, because Biden’s lack of planning and foolishness, the Taliban has taken over the country and the Afghan Army is nowhere to be found.
Biden couldn’t even take responsibility and kept referring to the “troops”. Since when the Democrats have ever cared about the troops? Nancy Pelosi called our military “Storm Troopers”.
For 20 years our military did their job in Afghanistan, including 8 of those years under the Obama administration, and the Democrats never cared one bit. For the Democrats and the career politicians it was a forgotten war.
To use the troops as the reason for leaving Afghanistan is an insult to the thousands of soldiers who gave their lives in this conflict. We are hastily leaving Afghanistan because the Biden administration underestimated the Taliban and wasn’t prepared for such take over and collapsed of the Afghan government.
The Biden administration was more concerned about flying the LGBTQ flag in a Muslim country and they lost complete control of the reality on the ground.
While our military leaders were worried about which soldier voted for President Trump, which soldiers were wearing MAGA hats, or teaching Critical Race Theory to our fighting force, the Taliban was taking over the country province by province, right under Joe Biden’s nose.
The failure in Afghanistan is under Joe Biden’s watch, and he’s right, the buck stops with him. It is time to stop blaming President Trump for his administration’s failures.
I am pleased our troops are leaving this western attempt at nation building and American assimilation, but under the Biden administration our troops are leaving in disgrace. Not only we are leaving behind a failed state, but we have equipped the Taliban with our own military equipment and installations.
If you think Russia and China are not watching, think again. They will fill the vacuum left behind by the Biden administration and no amount of tough talk by Biden will change that fact. The United States is a weak country and President’s Putin and Xi know it.
Watching the Taliban taking over Kabul was not only embarrassing but it will be a forever reminder of the American failure in Afghanistan.
