After 'Deciding Not To Extend The Deadline To Be Out Of Afghanistan, Biden Will Soon Speak To The Nation

[easyt65]

WHAT’S THE PLAN?

SOON: Biden to speak amid fears that Americans may be left behind by chaotic Afghan withdrawal​

President Biden has decided not to extend an Aug. 31 deadline to remove all American troops from Afghanistan, a U.S. official tells Fox News.

The development comes shortly after a Taliban spokesperson – following a meeting between leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and CIA Director William Burns in Kabul – said there will be "no extensions" to the Biden administration’s Aug. 31 date.

Defense Dept. Press Secretary John Kirby said Tuesday that the White House is still "aiming toward the end of the month" for a complete withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan.


"We continue to make progress every day in getting Americans – as well as Special Immigrant Visa applicants and vulnerable Afghans – out," he said. "We remain committed to getting any and all Americans that want to leave, to get them out. We still believe – certainly now that we have been able to increase the capacity and the flow – we believe that we have the ability to get that done by the end of the month."

The Pentagon also said the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan will go to "zero" at the Aug. 31 deadline.

In addition to the 6,000 U.S. troops at Kabul's airport, there are dozens of armored vehicles and U.S. Army Apache gunships.


Biden is meeting with a group of G7 leaders today and plans to speak to the American people afterwards.



My #1 concern / prayer is that the US can pull it off and evacuate all remaining US citizens in time.

He's waiting for the House to vote on the infrastructure Bill, so he can have some (hopefully) good news

Biden is simply bowing to his Chinese Masters as in they lust for Afghaniland.


The Chinese Communist Party is already using the situation in propaganda through its media tentacles, publicly embracing the Taliban while targeting America's credibility and pushing a narrative painting the U.S. as unreliable.

Chinese state media outlet the Global Times on Monday quoted Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Hua Chunying saying the communist nation "respects [the] Afghan people’s right to decide their own destiny and future, and is willing to continue to develop friendship and cooperation with Afghanistan."

The Global Times also touted the "US humiliation" in Afghanistan.

The Global Times also published an editorial Monday pressuring Taiwan, pushing the unreliable America narrative and saying the botched withdrawal is a "lesson" for Taiwan’s pro-democracy party.

"How Washington abandoned the Kabul regime particularly shocked some in Asia, including the island of Taiwan," the propaganda arm wrote. "Taiwan is the region that relies on the protection of the US the most in Asia, and the island's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities have made Taiwan go further and further down this abnormal path."

"The situation in Afghanistan suddenly saw a radical change after the country was abandoned by the US," the outlet continued. "And Washington just left despite the worsening situation in Kabul. Is this some kind of omen of Taiwan's future fate?"

The piece also claimed the U.S. is using "political support and manipulation" in Taiwan’s government to push "anti-mainland policies" and called Taiwan "a profitable geopolitical deal for Washington."

"Once a cross-Straits war breaks out while the mainland seizes the island with forces, the US would have to have a much greater determination than it had for Afghanistan, Syria, and Vietnam if it wants to interfere" the outlet wrote. "A military intervention of the US will be a move to change the status quo in the Taiwan Straits, and this will make Washington pay a huge price rather than earn profit."

The South China Morning Post quoted Hua saying that the Taliban "has expressed many times a desire for good relations with China" and is expecting the communist nation to "take part in Afghanistan’s rebuilding and development process, and will not allow any forces to use Afghanistan’s soil to harm China."

When I was an Army brat, this thread reminds me of people like President Biden, we had a catchy command phrase, and I quote "Double to the rear, double to the rear, double to the rear, MARCH!!!"

The only difference I see is that when Joe does his little double to the rear thing, the treasury goes down a few dozen billion$, and the American people get screwed, in the end.
