The European Union's foreign policy chief branded developments in Afghanistan "a catastrophe and a nightmare" on Thursday, and said there had been a failure of intelligence to anticipate the Taliban's return to power there.
Addressing the European Parliament on Thursday, Josep Borrell said about 100 EU staff and 400 Afghans working with the EU and their families had been evacuated, but that 300 more Afghans were still trying to leave.
"Let me speak clearly and bluntly, this is a catastrophe," Borrell said. "It is a catastrophe for the Afghan people, for the Western values and credibility, and for the developing of international relations."

The left always cried about how they thought Trump made America look bad to the rest of the world. I don’t hear any of those sacks of crap talking about how America looks to the world now.

In Afghanistan there are no western values, especially those disallowing the killing of enemies and war as it must be engaged.
The man is a fool
Perhaps it will dawn on these Euro-Internationalists that the real tragedy is STOLEN ELECTIONS!
“Aw, c’mon, man! That was, like, several days ago!”
The EU wanted to get rid of Trump and they got what they hoped for. Now they don’t like what’s coming their way.
“Aw, c’mon, man! That was, like, several days ago!”

Yeah, those horrific deaths are old news. /sarc
“a failure of intelligence to anticipate the Taliban’s return to power there”
Sounds like a liberal talking point to me
That’s why Joe doesn’t want to talk to other world leaders.
They can embrace the suck.
Funny how Josep Borrell did not mention Joe Biden. Maybe Borrell thought that this whole mess was caused by Global Warming.
The EU sneered at Trump. Probably helped the Italian embassy change the votes from Trump to Biden. Now look.
