Military withdrawal from Afghanistan Greatest embarrassment in US history

Washington – The withdrawal from Afghanistan is the greatest embarrassment in US history. Former US President Donald Trump has expressed outrage, saying China is laughing at the United States; it is convinced billions of dollars spent on rigging the US election results have not been wasted. President Biden’s weak and misguided policies have led to the situation in Afghanistan, but Biden has claimed that the Afghan army is not ready to fight despite US funding. Was the US spending on the Afghan army a bribe to fight the Taliban? Trump asked.

In an interview with Fox News, former President Donald Trump blamed Biden for the situation in Afghanistan. Trump also noted that the withdrawal would greatly benefit China and Russia. Trump has repeatedly accused China of spending billions of dollars to manipulate his defeat in the US election and electing Biden. During this interview, he made a vitriolic remark that China is smiling at the United States with joy that its investment had paid off.

Trump underlined the weakness of Biden’s leadership, criticizing, ‘We pulled billions of dollars from China when you were president of the United States. We did not allow China to get anything in return. Even then, China could not bend the US. But now that China is smiling at the United States.’ Trump fired a salvo of criticism at Biden; he asked, ‘Was US aid to the Afghan army a bribe to fight the Taliban?’

Russia’s annual military spending is about $50 billion. The United States spent $42 billion a year on Afghanistan operations alone. Trump complained that despite all this, the United States has gained nothing. Trump accused Biden of calling the US military home and putting the Afghan people in front of Taliban wolves. Political opponents like Trump and the media that once sided with Biden are criticizing him for the situation in Afghanistan. Biden’s popularity is claimed to be declining.

Former President George W. Bush responded that the situation of the people in Afghanistan was heart-wrenching. Bush expressed outrage at the US military withdrawal, warning that the situation was now extremely dangerous for the progressing Afghan people. Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has said that the withdrawal from Afghanistan has caused threats to US allies worldwide. Moreover, this has developed mistrust over the United States. Look at what happened in Afghanistan, which believed in the United States; such threats are being made to Taiwan by China. Haley said Ukraine was also receiving similar warnings from Russia, adding that the failure in Afghanistan had tarnished United States’ image.
