In his first press conference after the US withdrawal from the war-torn country, the US president lambasted Ashraf Ghani for fleeing amid"corruption and maleficence."
Biden called the US military airlift to extract more than 120,000 Afghans, Americans and other allies to end a 20 year war an “extraordinary success".Besides, the president criticised the ousted Afghan government's inability to fight back against swift Taliban advances, which forced the US and its NATO allies into a hasty and humiliating exit.
But some of his remarks are sure to hurt millions of Afghans who had hoped US will help their country prosper after the invasion in 2001. Many lawmakers had called on Biden to extend the August 31 deadline to allow more Americans and Afghans to escape, but Biden said it was "not an arbitrary deadline," but one "designed to save lives."
Foremost, it is US foreign policy that allows mining (read: exploiting) the resources of those who are with it, for its exclusive ends.
Trump was more fun,
169 Afghans were killed and hundreds wounded at Kabul airport. Reports indicate US troops fired on the Afghan civilians. Defense Department Press Secretary John Kirby said 'we can't confirm that and we certainly are not in position to deny it either' Biden:'Extraordinary success'
Well done President Biden!

Overwhelming support for keeping US troops in Afghanistan until all Americans, Afghan allies, out: pollA new national poll indicates that most Americans want U.S. troops to remain at the airport in Kabul until all Americans as well as Afghans who aided the U.S. during the 20 year conflict in the war torn central Asian country are evacuated. Yea..after Trump’s deal all but allowed taliban to prosper to strengths they’ve never had, encircle the provinces and large enough to deter the afghan military from covering our exit, there is support? Amazing. All these people think that they had months to get out. Civilians yes but not the military. Like they can tell their superiors I'm done time to leave. But how? And with what? Trump removed billions of $ worth of military equipment, left only 2000 troops and signed a withdrawal deal with the Taliban. Tramp administration also refused any transfer of information. GOP has used this for party politics at the cost of lives.
