Sometimes you have to turn to the foreign press to get the straight story on events in America, or events in which American actors feature. Like Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Yesterday, per the Telegraph, “the Houses of Parliament delivered an unprecedented rebuke to a US president.” Parliament’s assessment of Joe Biden’s performance was, to put it mildly, unsparing:
Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal was condemned as “catastrophic” and “shameful” on Wednesday….
“The West could not continue this US-led mission – a mission conceived and executed in support and defence of America – without American logistics, without US air power and without American might,” the Prime Minister said in a clear swipe at Washington.
It goes on and on. And this is interesting:
The Telegraph understands Mr Johnson had been attempting to get Mr Biden on the phone to discuss Kabul falling from Monday morning. The pair eventually talked at close to 10pm on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is traveling to Washington next week to meed with Biden. The Jerusalem Post assesses the impact of the Afghan disaster on that meeting:
All of this adds up to a US that has far less credibility to make demands of, and promises to, Israel. *** …[T]he current state of affairs in Afghanistan makes American security assurances weaker and less reliable. Who’s to say that the US won’t get sick of guaranteeing Israel’s security and stop doing it, consequences be damned?
The same is true of US security assurances when it comes to Iran.
The Biden administration and its press allies can do their best to put a happy face on the Afghan fiasco, but our allies are not fooled. Neither, unfortunately, are our enemies.

It nice for America to be respected around the world again, unlike when bad orange man was in the Oval Office.
Biden and Johnson did not talk until 10 PM on Tuesday? That would be 2 AM in London, so the phone call happened well after both of their bedtimes.
We stab our allies in the back and we abandon those who help us. We give money and weapons to terrorists. Hitler killed 6 million Jews? We have aborted 60 million babies. We have become an evil nation. More evil and more Stalinist than Russia.
Israel started settling family business 6 months before the election. They were no fools.
an embarrassment. This Biden administration is imploding.
“America is back!” Joe’s version of America, that is.
Thanks for posting!
all the nations with peopel over there is afghanistan all of a sudden are forced to scramble to get their people out because of biden ignoring commanders-
Yes that is just what I was thinking. That there are no more mean tweets coming out, at all hours. Seems like London and Jerusalem have to adjust their expectations here.
The msm in their ‘grilling’ of the spokesperson asked ‘Will there be anything inplace to test fleeing people from afghanistan for covid?”
peopel are runnign for their fracking lives, and hte ‘reporter’ wants to know if we’re gonna fart around testing everyone before they are transported? Bet this ‘
reporter’ doesn’t give a crap that illegals floodign over the border in US don’t get tested-
Sometimes you have to turn to the foreign press to get the straight story on events in America,
The illegals are covid positive and are being sent into the US heartland as we speak. Burden’s team know this- think there isn’t a reason for the “surge” in Covid cases? IMO caused by influx of illegals sent to replace Americans so the takeover of our country can be completed by a bunch of feckless, evil, pieces of crap.
Thanks for giving an update of what these “spokespeople” from the State Dept. are saying. It infuriates me so much when they send their pencil necked fairies out to dodge answering anything that I turn off the broadcast. They are all from the Goebbels School of Journos!
Exactly- wish republican governors would speak loud and clear and point that fact out when the msm goes after the gop governors for ‘surging covid cases’ i n their states-
Yep they said MAGA Trump was unpredictable. The resident now after afbidenstan is totally predictable.
joe biden in the stepontopofus interview was sporting some orange type makeup...
check it out...
One of Biden’s main missions has been to remove the US from its leadership role in word affairs. All planned, all going to plan.
This does not bode well for Israel. How can they depend on Americans to have their back. This may signal a war with Iran. How can they be sure the intel they get from DC is legit? This is not good.
There will be a lot of bloodshed in the next two weeks in Afghanistan.
Taiwan, the Baltic States, Ukraine and Poland all better be making alternative plans for when America get’s tired of the endless defense of those areas too. I recommend buying nukes from those willing to sell at an agreeable price.
Yes. Putin must be licking his chops on reclaiming the Eastern Bloc and forming a new Soviet Union.
Who would stop him? Now is the perfect time for Russia to invade Ukraine and keeping going all the way to Berlin.
Meanwhile, the CCP is looking at Taiwan and disputed territory in the Himalayas. It’s all available now for the taking.
