Watch the whole video…a rare chance to see an American president telling the absolute truth

Guardian: Joe Biden has said that US troops in Kabul would stay long enough to evacuate American citizens and eligible Afghan allies, and warned the Taliban there would be a “devastating” response to any attempt to attack or disrupt the operation.

The US president made a televised address from the White House after a day of chaos at Kabul airport following the fall of the Afghan capital to the Taliban, in which seven people were killed during the rush towards the sole remaining exit route out of the country.

As insurgents took control of the city, declaring victory after 20 years of war, tens of thousands of Afghans who have been promised resettlement in the west because of their past work with or for the US, Britain and their allies remained trapped in the country and in fear for their lives, amid reports of reprisal killings.



Biden admitted his administration had been caught by surprise by the speed of the Taliban victory, which he attributed to lack of leadership from Ashraf Ghani’s ousted government and a lack of will to fight in the Afghan armed forces.

“We gave them every chance to determine their own future. What we couldn’t not provide them was the will to fight for that future,” he said.

  1. It appeared to me that what happened was the Afghan government and military performed a rolling surrender and it was well planned in advance. Biden and his top officials may have been blind sided by this but we don’t know. This needs to be looked into. Did this just happen organically or are their other possibilities? Who benefits? Have read that the new apparent TB leader was released from prison per the request of the previous administation in 2018? What deal was struck if any?

    I think Biden has handled it well and he admitted that events moved much more quickly than anticipated.

    • The Taliban’s they bribed the military officers of government army to surrender without a fight…

  2. “We gave them every chance to determine their own future..”

    The former president Ashraf Ghani, really he yes taken lot of these chances, indeed, he took four cars and one helicopter full plenty with Franklin’s face green chances while was fleeing!!
