Biden’s words flood social media over image of helicopter rescuing US embassy personnel a la Saigon
President Joe Biden is facing intense criticism from media figures both on TV and online as Taliban forces begin their takeover of Kabul in Afghanistan, an outcome that the president said was “highly unlikely” just last month.
As American troops began emergency evacuations of the U.S. embassy in Kabul, CNN’s Jake Tapper said the world was watching “a tragic foreign policy disaster unfold before our eyes.”
“That is, of course, a sharp turn-around from six weeks ago when President Biden called it highly unlikely that the Taliban would overrun the country, an assessment that even at the time struck many experts in Biden’s own administration as unrealistic,” Tapper continued. “And now, as American diplomats rush to shred embassy documents and escape, it seems shocking that President Biden could have been so wrong.”
It’s a rare instance where mainstream cable news has aligned with both fledgling far-right networks and Middle-Eastern activists in their criticism of the Biden Administration. On Twitter, Newsmax foreigncorrespondent Alex Salvi posted a clip of Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisting on July 7 that the embassy would not be in danger because of Biden’s decision to withdraw troops.
Iranian journalist Masih Alinejad also posted her own video of Biden’s promises about Afghanistan’s safety, accusing the president of “empowering the anti-women and anti-democratic regimes and terrorist organizations.”

This is due to being surrounded by unqualified advisors who have the wrong information or agenda about the region and US interests. These failed policies result is empowering the anti-women and anti-democratic regimes and terrorist organizations ...

July 8, 2021: Biden Says Taliban Takeover of Afghanistan Not Inevitable And The Government Won’t Collapse
https://rumble.com/vl63jt-biden-makes-prediction-about-afghanistan.html
When it comes to failure the Democrats made it a science.
GWB had to own ‘Mission Accomplished’ - we need to make sure Biden owns, ‘Takeover of Afghanistan Not Inevitable’
“ it seems shocking that President Biden could have been so wrong.”
Not to me it isn’t.

If President Trump were put back in the White House now, he would probably resolve all the mess in a couple weeks, that Biden caused in the last few months. Failure Biden only took half a year to destroy all the successes that President Trump achieved. Only half a year. Think how much Biden will destroy over the next six months, sad!

There is no doubt whatsoever.

I just got off White House briefing for Congress concerning Afghanistan.
Joe Biden is a FOOL!
* The military equipment and arms were left on purpose for the Afghan military to supposedly defend themselves. But they have handed it all over with no resistance.
* 5,000 prisoners have been released from the base. Known terrorists.
* Our border is wide open and out of control. These terrorists can easily make their way to the US.
* The Taliban is in full control and ISIS is there as well.
* Trump defeated ISIS and Biden is to blame for their imminent rise.
* Turkey and Pakistan are going to soon move in to “stabilize” Afghanistan.
* Over $1 trillion in spending, over 2,000 Americans lives lost, and over 20,000 injured and maimed over the last 18 years for absolutely nothing.
My love and support goes out to all of our military members and veterans of Afghanistan, and also especially to any family who lost a loved one. God Bless our Gold Star families.

It is time for Joe Biden to resign in disgrace for what he has allowed to happen to Afghanistan, along with the tremendous surge in COVID, the Border catastrophe, the destruction of energy independence, and our crippled economy. It shouldn’t be a big deal, because he wasn’t elected legitimately in the first place!
This is not Biden’s failure. It is Obama’s, the current Shadow President.
It was Bush’s failure, you cannot nation-build in Afghanistan. He had one job, get OBL, and he couldn’t even do that.
