Thank you for all that you do!

Joe’s loses his grip on reality: President claims ‘no one is being killed’ in the Kabul airport chaos despite 12 confirmed deaths and says he can’t ‘recall’ if he was told to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan

President Joe Biden insisted his military advisers did not tell him to keep a U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan

‘No one said that to me that I can recall,’ he told ABC News in his first interview since the Taliban take over

He said his top brass did not argue that all troops would be pulled from Afghanistan ‘in a time frame’

There were multiple warnings, however, and The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley wanted to keep 2,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan

He also insisted ‘no one is being killed’ in the chaos surrounding the Kabul airport despite 12 confirmed deaths

Biden also said in the interview that he would have withdrawn troops from even without Donald Trump’s deal – in a stark reversal of blaming the situation on his predecessor

This was the first time Biden faced questions from media over his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan

Biden chose former Bill Clinton aide Stephanopoulos for the interview and hasn’t taken questions from other members of the media for nine days

BIDEN’S ‘BALD-FACED LIES’ OVER AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL

President Biden claimed in his interview on August 18 that chaos in Kabul was inevitable, but just six weeks ago at a White House briefing he said the Taliban takeover was ‘NOT inevitable’.

On the Taliban

July 8: ‘The likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely... it is not inevitable’.

August 18: ‘The idea that somehow, there’s a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don’t know how that happens.’

On the Afghan army

July 8: ‘I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who more competent [than the Taliban] in terms of conducting war.’

August 18: ‘When you saw the significant collapse of the Afghan troops we had trained, that was — you know I’m not — that’s what happened.’

The Taliban swept to power in Afghanistan in less than two weeks after they took their first provincial capital.

On the evacuation

July 8: ‘Our military mission in Afghanistan will conclude on August 31st. The drawdown is proceeding in a secure and orderly way’

August 18: ‘Americans should understand that we’re going to try to get [the evacuation] done before August 31.’

There are still around 15,000 Americans and allied citizens stranded in Afghanistan, with the Taliban deciding who can and can’t reach the airport. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said: ‘We don’t have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people.’

On the Embassy

July 8: ‘There’s going to be no circumstance when you’re going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy. It’s not at all comparable [with Saigon].’

The US embassy was closed on Sunday, August 15 with staff and the US flag hastily evacuated by chinook helicopter from the roof.

On the Afghan government

July 8: ‘The Afghan leadership has the capacity to sustain the government in place.’

August 18: ‘You had the government of Afghanistan, the leader of that government, get in a plane and taking off and going to another country.’

On Afghan translators

July 8: ‘We can guarantee their safety.’

August 18: The Taliban control the area around Kabul airport and have shot and beaten crowds of people trying to get through for evacuation.

Ex-US soldiers have said the lives of Afghans who helped the US are in grave danger and will likely be executed.

Rasheem alerted Patriots and then reported Big News for those who could put WarRoom video in their browser yesterday:

1) Biden dismissed the Trump Crisis Report, in February.

2) Biden closed the Bagram(?)
Airport, first, before activating withdrawal, reducing US to one Runway.

11,000 Americans and countless thousands of Afghan colleagues and workers.
Afghans to locate on US airbases. 80,000 estimate all together with allies.

[20,000 destined to Texas. Ft. Bliss included.]

3) Biden works for China.

4) China visited Afghanistan Two weeks before activated US Withdrawal.

5) China to move in for minerals production.

6) American Taxes laundered through Afghanistan War and redistributed to cabal, and now China enriches itself in the aftermath.
....

Imho, How is it now that we don’t work for China’s benefit$$$, and have long enriched the Globalist $$$lush fund?

We are not the only mules producing carriage for enemies, just the largest herd.

Hope this isn’t too mean.😇

At least these facts are IMPEACHABLE, except Biden will be removed, or worse, before that can happen.

And, KAMALA to VISIT SINGAPORE and Viet Nam.

A ruse prolly for secret talks?
