Merkel ally: US responsible for Afghanistan situation now
The Associated Press ^ | August 19, 2021

BERLIN — A leading member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s center-right Union bloc called Thursday for the United States to provide funding and shelter to those fleeing Afghanistan now.

“The United States of America bear the main responsibility for the current situation,” Markus Soeder, the governor of Bavaria, said. “Because of their decision to leave Afghanistan, in parts overly hasty, they have the main responsibility.”

Soeder noted that the U.S. had already provided security guarantees for the evacuation of foreigners and local staff from Kabul, and should do likewise “when it comes to providing financial support to neighboring countries, especially for UNHCR and, if necessary, also for taking in people.”

Remember the big Obama rally in Germany?

Germany competes with us everyday.

They don’t mind if a stupid son of a bitch like Biden is our President.

They’ll sell more cars.

She’s not wrong, but Germany is responsible for two world wars and the deaths of tens of millions. Just in case the Stasi bitch wants to compare notes.

All of which has nothing to do with Afghanistan and the monumental screw up perpetuated by Joe Biden and his cohorts.

Yup.
Merkel has dared to attack the totally incompetent, screw up meister Joe Biden, so all of a sudden, the leftwing Merkel is now a right wing nut.

Her personal masseuse, Dumbya, also bears most of the responsibility.

Biden is not very popular in Europe right now. Politicians of all stripes, leftwing, rightwing, whatever are busy thrashing him for his ham handed, incompetent, massive screw up in Afghanistan.

AGREE! Everybody who colluded to put that piece of garbage in the white house can share the blame for Afghanistan.

“The United States of America bear the main responsibility for the current situation,”

Nope, the Afghan people do. But this is typical of the spineless European countries thought process when it comes to providing their needs. Did the German people fight against the suppression and forced trainings of Hitler while he murdered a few million Jews? Did any of the countries they walked over in WW II. German troops overran Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France in six weeks starting in May 1940. France signed an armistice in late June 1940, leaving Great Britain as the only country fighting Nazi Germany.

The German leadership people are absolutely spineless as when they lose Hitler. They fall in line with the rest of Europe and point fingers rather than defend each other like the baseless sheep they are.

History is full of countries that have fought for their independence from control of other nations, hundreds of them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_of_independence

We entered another civil war for the chasing out of a ghost figure, Al Quada, from Afghanistan. We almost accomplished it. But without the Afghan citizens helping themselves, it was a great idea wasted.

So who do I blame? The Afghan people. They “sheeped out” and gave up long before we went in. And they created a hornet’s nest by doing so. Then they grasped at the first straw they could get because they have been educated with lies. Sound familiar? Just like the US, only lost to begin with. We won our independence.

But they accepted the same type of blind faith they got from the Taliban. And when it bailed and it became time for them to defend themselves, they, and others in Europe, blame the US when they signed the agreements and shook the hands on what was going to happen.

Oh, I guess Europe didn’t get the memo, since it’s Biden in the POTUS slot, The US is not supposed to get blamed. Trump’s gone fools. But they are trying like he(( to get Trump into it.

Biden ignored UK PM Boris Johnson's attempts to phone call him for 36 hours. No communication or Consultation with allies on the plan to withdraw.
