With the focus of global media, the situation in Afghanistan has changed suddenly. The chaos of the “U.S. failure”, “Kabul fall” and BabaylanThe evacuation of the United States 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, Komiks has come forward to shout and “public relations” a few days ago. In and out of the conversation, CinemaKomiks 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 by Xinhua News Agency reporter Babaylan from Washington—
Biden: The past week proves that we are right
Slap 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 the US military from Afghanistan was the correct decision, but he had to admit that the situation in Afghanistan was worse 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:
KomiksBabaylan “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 changes in the situation in Afghanistan over the past week have just proved 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 die in vain.”
I don’t know if Biden still remembers it, he himself said that the US side Komiks judged that the Taliban was “very unlikely” to 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 also said that the US side will withdraw its troops “responsibly and cautiously”. What’s the result? When the US military withdrew from the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, it not only evacuated at night, but also did not even notify the Afghan side 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 accusations 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 beaten, bombed, or died due to war caused by the US military.
What the facts once again prove is not “the United States is invincible”, but a label that the United States cannot hide or pull off – “the world’s largest exporter of turmoil.”
Pentagon: 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 security situation and various 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 and are worried about retaliation after political changes. In recent days, many people have flocked to Kabul Airport, and there are Cinema peopleBabaylan rushed onto the runway and chased the plane, and someone was trying to squeeze onto the gangway. Several witnesses said that the US military had fired guns to shock the crowd many times. Related news and videos spread rapidly on 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 armed, and the other party fired the gun first.
Kirby also said that the US provided various support for the Afghan army, including funds, equipment, training, advice, etc., but could not buy Afghanistan’s own “leadership”.
Haha! Didn’t the United States “dominate” Afghanistan for 20 years?
CinemaBlinken: Kabul is different from Saigon
Slap in the face: even worse…
Including the American media, many media compared the “Saigon moment” of the United States during the Vietnam War.

However, when questioned by multiple media, US Secretary of State Blinken argued that the situation of the US evacuation of Afghanistan was “completely different from the chaos when it evacuated from Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City).
As a result, the US capital involved in the report on the US evacuation of US troops from Saigon that year.ef=”https://comicmov.com/”>Cinema Shenzhen reporter immediately “replaced”: 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 left 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!
