Much of our media is already trying to deflect from and excuse Biden's disaster. Biden said these words yesterday "the extraordinary success of this mission". Any of your trusted sources that don't have a huge issue with that statement should no longer be trusted. Here's an opinion piece from the Telegraph that I believe is how our allies are feeling today:
The White House’s press spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, made an interesting claim earlier this week. Asked about America’s disastrous exit from Afghanistan, she refused to hear any criticism. The US was overseeing an operation that is now on track to be the largest airlift in American history, she said. “So no, I would not say that it is anything but a success.”...
Only a White House under this current administration would actively be seeking praise for a defeat. It is success solely in a category of America’s own making: biggest retreat ever, in record-breaking time....
By any estimation the first seven months of the Biden presidency have been a devastating period for America’s standing in the world. There are pros and cons to the American presence in Afghanistan as there are to its leaving. But the manner of the withdrawal and the range of basic incompetence on display is something that the rest of the world will not easily forget....
And while America did the heavy lifting (and spending) to protect the global order, we were happy, as were the Europeans, to pay our way in supporting the US in turn.
Now all of this looks vulnerable. The way in which America has treated its allies on the ground in Afghanistan will worry any potential friend of the US. While the way in which Biden has treated his allies – principally by ignoring us – will worry all of us in turn.
America will survive the fall of Kabul. But the question now is whether the world can survive another three and a half years of Joe Biden.
When you can't face reality, just blame the people in the past who had no role in removing troops and closing the airbase before getting all of our people and allies out. I guess if you just keep repeating that silly argument, you'll probably start believing it.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
