US Allies appalled at Senile Biden with the rout in Afghanistan and the absence of U.S. consultations with them

Pretty devastating piece by Liz Sly on how U.S. allies are appalled at the rout in Afghanistan and the absence of U.S. consultations with them, as well as the growing doubts about U.S. credibility with regard to its allies:

LONDON — The Taliban's stunningly swift advances across Afghanistan have sparked global alarm, reviving doubts about the credibility of U.S. foreign policy promises and drawing harsh criticisms even from some of the United States' closest allies.

As Taliban fighters entered Kabul and the United States scrambled to evacuate its citizens, concerns grew that the unfolding chaos could create a haven for terrorists, unleash a major humanitarian disaster and trigger a new refugee exodus.

U.S. allies complain that they were not fully consulted on a policy decision that potentially puts their own national security interests at risk — in contravention of President Biden's promises to recommit to global engagement.

And many around the world are wondering whether they could rely on the United States to fulfill long-standing security commitments stretching from Europe to East Asia.

"Whatever happened to 'America is back'?" said Tobias Ellwood, who chairs the Defense Committee in the British Parliament


And it goes on and gets worse from there

Another British viewpoint, this one from the Minister of Defense

The viewpoint will be popular with many, others will say the buck rests with Biden for the actual execution. I fall into the latter group since it was his job to execute or to change course. The execution was atrocious.

China taking advantage of senile Biden's humiliating actions

From @globaltimesnews - Chinese State Affiliated Media

From what happened in Afghanistan, those in Taiwan should perceive that once a war breaks out in the Straits, the island’s defense will collapse in hours and US military won’t come to help. As a result, the DPP will quickly surrender.


Hell of a job senile Biden

Devastating video for senile Biden. These people are literally dying to get out of his clusterfuck – a few even clung to the airplane tires and fell from the sky after takeoff.

HELL OF A JOB SENILE BIDEN !!!!!!!

OH MY - IMPEACHABLE !!!

We now have multiple reports that US forces on the ground warned Biden the collapse was happening and he gave the order anyway, while saying the opposite in public

In a serious country the civilian and military heads of the military would have tendered resignation by now

Currently, only the embassies of Russia and China are functioning in Afghanistan. Both are being guarded by the Taliban.

U.S. Allies, World Leaders Blast Biden Over Afghanistan Debacle, Question U.S. Resolve

America’s closest allies said Sunday that President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan left them questioning the United States’ resolve and Biden’s leadership.

The Washington Post reports that U.S. allies are complaining “that they were not fully consulted on a policy decision that potentially puts their own national security interests at risk — in contravention of President Biden’s promises to recommit to global engagement” and that “many around the world are wondering whether they could rely on the United States to fulfill long-standing security commitments stretching from Europe to East Asia.”

Leaders in the United Kingdom, a close ally of the United States and a cooperative leader in the global war on terror since the George W. Bush administration, had some of the harshest criticism for Biden on Sunday.

Fox News reported that U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson pinned the blame for the collapse of Afghanistan on Biden himself. “Johnson said it was ‘fair to say the US decision to pull out has accelerated things, but this has in many ways been a chronicle of an event foretold,’ but urged western leaders to work together to prevent Afghanistan from again becoming a ‘breeding ground for terrorism.’”

"Top Ex-Aide To Margaret Thatcher Unloads On Biden: ‘Will Go Down As One Of The Biggest Failures’"

Nile Gardner, a top former aide to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, slammed President Joe Biden on Sunday amid the chaos unfolding on the ground in Afghanistan.

Gardner, who has a doctorate in history from Yale University, is considered a foreign policy expert and has testified numerous times before Congress.

Gardner responded to Biden’s Afghanistan debacle in a series of tweets posted yesterday, including the following:

“Clueless, isolated, and sinking fast. President Biden has become an embarrassment on the world stage, and his non-leadership a gift to the enemies of the free world, from Kabul to Beijing. America has never been weaker at the helm in the modern era.”

“A massive collapse of American leadership on the world stage. Joe Biden will go down as one of the biggest failures in US presidential history.”

“Joe Biden has humiliated the United States on the world stage. This will haunt the world’s superpower for decades.”

“Biden’s Saigon moment. A monumental disaster delivered by the weakest, most left-wing US presidency in American history.”

“President Biden has humiliated the United States, undermined America’s allies, and handed a huge gift to America’s enemies, from the Taliban to al Qaeda and Islamist terrorist groups across the world.”


The Daily Wire reported on Sunday that former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who served in the role under both Presidents Obama and Trump, called out Biden for avoiding the public amid the collapse of Afghanistan.

“I started the process, all the troops are coming home, they (Biden) couldn’t stop the process. 21 years is enough. They (Biden) couldn’t stop the process, they (Biden) wanted to but couldn’t stop the process.” -Donald Trump


Afghanistan was destined to end badly from the moment that we went in. All presidents since then have to share some blame, but Dick and Bush can take the lions share of it.
