Leonid Slutsky: “Biden’s speech on the situation in Afghanistan is the height of the manifestation of American egoism and the shifting of responsibility.
The President of the United States assures that by rapidly withdrawing troops from the republic, he only adhered to the agreement signed during the administration of his predecessor, Donald Trump. Otherwise, they say, the conflict would have spilled over into the third decade, and the Afghan authorities allegedly could not effectively resist the Taliban. But what about the previous statements about the readiness of the Afghan forces?
Biden also argued that the only task for the United States was to deprive the terrorists of a foothold for attacks on America. And what about Afghanistan’s neighbors? Including close to us Uzbekistan and Tajikistan or Pakistan? The fact is that in recent years the Americans did not interfere in any way with strengthening the Taliban’s forces, and then simply fled the country, leaving it alone with the militants. Criminal irresponsibility.
Particular bewilderment is caused by the words about the safe evacuation of the US Embassy in Kabul … against the background of footage of an airplane taking off, covered with fleeing Afghans. This is a failure of Washington’s foreign policy towards Afghanistan. “
