Afghan pullout is 'biggest NATO debacle': Merkel party chief
France24 ^ | August 16, 2021

Posted on 08/16/2021 11:53:48 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The withdrawal of Western troops from Afghanistan is the "biggest debacle" that NATO has suffered since its founding, the head of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's party, Armin Laschet, said on Monday.

Laschet said focus at the moment must be on the German military's evacuation operation from Afghanistan."But we will talk about the causes and conclusions drawn after this rescue mission -- a no holds barred analysis of errors in Germany, with our allies and in the international community.”

Incredible that our people in power are so full of their liberal Woke B$ agendas even at times like this:

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby confirmed to Fox News
on Sunday evening that the administration will not give priority evacuation to Americans in Afghanistan over Afghans applying for visas.

American Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a CNN
interview on Sunday that the administration of President Joe
Biden “can work with and recognize” a Taliban government
in Afghanistan that respects women and “doesn’t harbor
terrorists.”


Wonder if Joe or his real Deep state bosses have promised the Taliban big money under the table, if they don’t kill Americans hiding in their closets in Kabul.

She didn’t hate him....she just doesn’t like an American President being smarter than her. She is in love with Putin and that’s the way it is.

And how many troops were the krauts stationing in Crapghanistan? Halts Maul, du alte Fotze!

Maybe Nato would be worth something if someone other than the US spent all the blood and money.

I watched her body language around him, and IMO she loathed
him.

It’s not a big enough point to haggle over, but I appreciate
your opinion. You may be closer to truth than me, but it
looked the world as if she resented his brashness, and
possible leadership skills or popularity.

Biden is such an incompetent moron, liar and buffoon.

Everyone who voted for Biden, everyone who covered for Biden, everyone who cheered for Biden, ALL OF THEM, own this. Watch the civilized world crumble, and spare me the fake theatrics. If you weren’t against Biden, you were FOR THIS. This is what you wanted, what you begged for, what you complained Trump wouldn’t do. This was always the plan.

Another historic moment brought to you by Joe Biden and the Democrats.

Change you can see.

Pre Screened Questions...

Mr. President, you said these mostly peaceful events in Kabul are the fault of the previous administration. Do you still stand by that statement?

Mr. President. Which flavor of ice cream did you have at Camp David on your much deserved vacation?

Mr. President. Does you butt still remain wiped?
