A generationn Rehoboth Beach in southern Delaware is actually a weekend Joe Biden expected. The President of the United States owns a holiday house in a seaside resort. Local media reported that a park with a helicopter landing pad had been closed-which showed that the president was expecting it. Instead, Biden spent the weekend at his home in Wilmington in the north.
Perhaps people find that pictures of the beach should be avoided at this moment.In Afghanistan, they also continued Taliban They keep going. Over the weekend, they occupied several cities, including Kunduz. A week ago, the Pentagon had stated that the situation in Afghanistan was not going well. This is related to Biden’s remarks a month ago, when he faced the Taliban offensive and was forced to defend his decision to withdraw soldiers from the Hindu Kush before the end of August. He said it is not inevitable that Islamists will come to power again. The fate of the country is in the hands of Afghan leaders. Does this mean that he believes that the Afghan security forces can defend the territories they control? Or it should just mean: Do you have to do it alone now?
The Pentagon is not satisfied with Biden’s decision
The reluctant military response of the U.S. Armed Forces hinted at the latter.Even though Donald TrumpWith the drastic reduction in the number of troops stationed in Afghanistan, the US military has always stood by the Afghans with fighter jets and helicopters to regain the territory occupied by the Taliban. However, on weekends, they were limited to aerial bombing of the Taliban’s arsenal. There are currently 650 American soldiers in Afghanistan-no longer able to organize larger missions at home. The Bagram Central Air Base was handed over to the Afghans in July. Air support and reconnaissance must now come from outside, from bases in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and from aircraft carriers in the Arabian Sea.

Leon Panetta, Minister of Defense Barack ObamaSaid that he hopes to get greater support from the Americans. But he added that you should not deceive yourself: you can only hope that there will be some kind of deadlock. A senior military official was quoted as saying that apart from limited air strikes, there are no other plans. Earlier, the Americans twice helped the Afghans to retake Kunduz.
The Pentagon is not satisfied with Biden’s decision.When the President decided to leave Afghanistan in the spring, the Secretary of Defense tried Lloyd Austin And Mark Milly, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, changed his mind: “We’ve seen this movie before,” Austin reportedly said at the time-referring to the consequences of Obama’s decision in 2011. This has already withdrawn the army from Iraq. When the terrorist organization “Islamic State” later occupied most of the country, the Americans returned. Biden, who was once Vice President Obama, still remembers clearly. However, when he appeared in the White House in early July, he had no doubts about his decision. In a speech to critics of foreign countries and security agencies, he asked how long they wanted to risk the lives of thousands of Americans.
How fast the Taliban are advancing is likely to worry Biden. It is not clear whether the impending occupation of Kandahar or Kabul will prompt the government to provide greater military support. Biden’s spokesperson Jane Psaki recently stated that the president has been prepared to make “difficult decisions” for a long time. This may also include being president, whose tenure will still be associated with the image of failure and humiliation. Opinion polls show that most voters think his decision is correct. According to today’s situation, next year’s congressional election will not be the second Vietnam vote in the United States.
