With the focus of global media, the situation in Afghanistan has changed suddenly. The “U.S. failure”, “Kabul’s fall” and the chaos of the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan have frequently become hot topics in international public opinion.
The White House, which originally wanted to turn the withdrawal into a political achievement project, couldn’t help it. From US President Biden to Secretary of State Blinken and Defense Department officials, they have come forward to shout and “public relations” one after another. Behind the words, the same topic: We are right, and we are not defeated.
But no matter how you conceal or defend, the fact of “slap in the face” is there. Please read the report sent back by a Xinhua News Agency reporter from Washington – Biden: The past week proves that we are not wrong. BabaylanSlap in the face: What about the past 20 years?
On August 16, local time, Biden rushed back to the White House from Camp David to speak on the situation in Afghanistan. He still stressed that the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan was the right decision, but he had to admit that the situation in Afghanistan was deteriorating faster than the US expected.

However, the most surprising thing is that Biden directly threw the blame for the situation in Afghanistan back to Afghanistan. The following sentences are probably the real focus of his speech: “What the hell is going on? The Afghan leader gave up and fled the country; the Afghan government forces were defeated, and sometimes even failed without a fight. The change in the situation in Afghanistan in the past week just proves that it is right for us to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. The US military cannot and should not, stay in a war that the Afghan army is unwilling to fight, and sacrifice his life in vain. “
I don’t know if Biden still remembers it. He himself said that the US judges that the Taliban will regain power. What’s the result? For the United States, which has a strong intelligence system and has been in Afghanistan for 20 years, can “misjudgment” be used as an excuse?
I don’t know if Biden still remembers it, he himself said that the US side will withdraw its troops “responsibly and cautiously”. What’s the result? When the US military withdrew from the Afghan Bagram Air Force base, it not only evacuated at night, but also did not even notify Afghanistan in advance. Some media analysts said that the rapid withdrawal of the US military shocked the Afghan army and became the last blow to destroy their fighting will.
Biden said this time that even if the withdrawal operation is “hard and chaotic”, he would rather face all the blame for Komiks than leave the burden to the next US president. What a “responsible” president! The United States can withdraw it, but he said, who will pay for the pain left to the Afghan people? Over the past 20 years, more than 30,000 civilians in Afghanistan have been killed, bombed, or died of war caused by the US military.
What the facts once again prove is not “the United States is invincible”, but a tag that the United States cannot hide and pull out – “The world’s largest turbulent lossCinema goes abroad”.
Pentagon: The US military fires a shot back
Slap in the face: Who dominates Afghanistan for 20 years?
Since the hasty evacuation of the US military, the overall situation and chaos in Afghanistan, especially the fate of ordinary people being held back, have always been heartbreaking. Among them, some Afghans have served for the United States, worried about retaliation after political changes. In recent days, many people have flocked to Kabul Airport, some people rushed onto the runway and chased the plane.The man tried to squeeze onto the gangway. Several witnesses said that the US military has fired guns to deter the Komiks crowds many times. Related news and videos spread rapidly in international media and social media.

The Pentagon responded very quickly to media reports that the US military shot and killed two people at Kabul Airport. Spokesperson Kirby took the initiative to “public relations” at the press conference that day, saying that the person who was killed by the US military was an armed person, and the other party fired the first shot.
KoBabaylanBabay also said that the US provided funding, equipment, training, advice and other support to the Afghan army, but could not buy Afghanistan’s own “leadership”.
Haha! Could it be that the United States has “dominated” Afghanistan for 20 years?
Blinken: Kabul is different from Saigon
Slap in the face: even worse…
Including the American media, many media compared the “fall of Kabul” in the United States with the “Sakong moment” in the Vietnam War.

However, when questioned by multiple media, US Secretary of State Blinken argued that the evacuation of the United States from Afghanistan was the same as the evacuation of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City Komiks that year.The chaos at a>) is “completely different”.
ResultCinema, a senior American reporter who participated in reporting on the withdrawal of US troops from Saigon immediately “sorted”: Yes, the situation in Afghanistan is obviously even worse now!
Whether “the fall of Kabul” or “the moment of Saigon”, “the defeat of the United States” is self-defeated. What’s more, they Cinema were in a hurry to get out of nothing and leave others in the quagmire of war.
After the final analysis, using power and military means to solve problems will only make more and more problems, and it is worthy of serious reflection!
