Now, I don’t think I will point to Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) who said anything important when talking about what happened in Afghanistan. I think it is fair to say that I would not agree with many of his views. But I have to say that he just made Joe Biden guts with some points that no one else has put forward, and everyone needs to hear it.
First, he yelled Biden for the “wrong choice” that Biden had been making for months. He raised again in today’s speech -The choice is to withdraw troops immediately or quickly. Compared with the 150,000 occupying ground troops, there is no clarity and plan. He said that this was a wrong choice. It is not the reality of the situation on the ground. We have not had 100,000 soldiers there in ten years. We have been using a team of about 2500 people to control them until Biden removed them.
But then Sasse pointed out that even if you delete them, Biden’s approach is terrible. He said that Republicans and Democrats have been yelling at Biden for months, “What is your plan?” But his team was unable to answer this question. He said the Bidens strangely claimed that they would not have to worry about any major offensive by the Taliban until next spring. This is because the Taliban have continued to make progress across the country in the past few months. “They have no contingency plan,” Sass said, despite their claims and Biden’s attempt to claim in his speech today.
Perhaps the most important part of what Sass said is why so many Afghan security forces are disbanded. “Because the Biden administration has repeatedly conveyed nonsense about negotiating with the Taliban in a restaurant in Belgium. They have repeatedly conveyed the message that they will not support our allies in times of crisis. Therefore, the Biden administration is actively undermining the commander’s The confidence of the Afghan security forces.” However, now Biden accuses them of collapse, and he does not even bother to pull out the people who have helped us and our obligations.
Sass said, but Biden then tried not only to accuse Trump, but also the Afghans. “He started attacking the parents who took their children on the edge of the airport,” Sass said. “They were there because our army assured them that the United States would never turn around and reoccur events like Saigon. This is worse than Saigon. Compared with Saigon in 1975, what happened at Karzai International Airport today It was a more shameful and humble moment in American history. Biden came out of his bunker, he returned from Camp David, and tried to make a campaign photo speech. He attacked the Afghans on the edge of the airport because we assured them. They fought with us, and we said they would be safe. His government weakened the confidence of those fighters, and they didn’t believe they would get air support. [from the U.S.]Then we, strangely, evacuated Bagram Air Force Base at night in a big mistake in military history. Why? Why are we evacuating Bagram Air Force Base? The Biden administration has weakened the confidence of Afghan fighters. “
His views on Bagram are views that the media would not normally put forward. If they stay open, they can evacuate people from there, from a fully fortified, protected base. For some reason, they are now trapped in an unprotected area of Karzai Airport, trying to scramble to cover themselves. We should persist until everyone we want to go out goes out. However, this was a huge mistake for Biden. This shows that there is no thinking at all, and of course no capable military thinking.
