The Taliban in Afghanistan have been taking back territory and attacking U.S. allied forces ever since the U.S. military began a withdrawal. On July 8th Joe Biden was asked if the U.S. embassy in Kabul would be evacuated giving a familiar reference to the U.S. collapse in Vietnam. In July he said no. Biden was leaving 650 military personnel in Kabul to guard the embassy and diplomats.
Two days ago Biden announced sending 3,000 U.S. troops to begin the embassy evacuation. That is correct. Biden is sending 3,000 soldiers back to Afghanistan to help evacuate Americans. Another 3,500 soldiers will be on standby. Biden is sending more soldiers back to Afghanistan than the 2,500 he withdrew to begin with.
Considering that Joe Biden has a documented political history of getting everything exactly wrong; meaning the outcomes are exactly the opposite of every contention he has ever made; it is worth noting what Biden claims will not happen – because this is exactly what is likely to happen. WATCH:
As if on cue from divine or karmic providence, exactly what Joe Biden said in July would not occur, is exactly what is occurring in August…. Afghanistan’s second and third largest cities, Kandahar and Herat, fell to the Taliban on Thursday and Friday.
(CNN) – […] In a statement Friday, the Taliban said they had taken control of the governor’s office, police headquarters, as well as other key operational centers throughout the city of Kandahar. “Hundreds of weapons, vehicles and ammunition were seized,” the Taliban statement said.
Kamin said he and many others had made their way to a military base close to the city’s international airport and were awaiting a flight out. “Many (government) soldiers surrendered and the rest fled,” Kamin said.
Kamin had earlier told CNN that Taliban fighters had been able to break through the city’s frontline and were engaging in sporadic confrontation with government forces.
Kandahar, which lies on the junction of three major highways, is of particular strategic importance and was formerly a major hub for US military operations. Its seizure marks the most significant gain yet for the Taliban.
Elsewhere on Friday, the government lost control of the nearby capital of Urozgan province, Tarin Kot. (read more)
Biden announced the withdrawal of 2,500 troops in April.
In June and July those troops started leaving.
In July Biden swears the embassy in Kabul will not fall.
In August Biden sends 3,000 troops back to Afghanistan.
Watch what happens in Kabul….
We will see helicopters emergency airlifting embassy personnel and rescuing people.
And somehow this is all going to be Trump’s fault.
