“Joe Biden: UK and allies had choice to remain in Afghanistan.
US president hits back at criticism as parents pass their children to soldiers at Kabul airport amid worsening chaos.
Joe Biden has hit back at the UK and Nato allies, claiming they “had a
choice” to stay in Afghanistan and could have done so despite the
United States pulling out of the country.
The US president has faced a torrent of criticism from ministers and
MPs over the botched withdrawal, which has left US and British officials
scrambling to get their citizens out of the country after the Taliban
seized power.
His suggestion appeared to contradict the British position that it
could not carry on the mission without America. Boris Johnson told
Parliament on Wednesday that the West could not continue in Afghanistan
without US support and air power. CNA
The US withdrawal from Afghanistan was done without consultation with its allies and the latter were left in a lurch. When the US invaded Afghanistan, presumably it must have invited the European allies to go along, a coalition of the willing. The European allies were eager beaver, given a chance to beat up Muslim tribesmen in the mountains of Afghanistan with very little chances of being hit back. And with the colossal military might of the American Empire, they were there for a party, a sort of hunting mission to practice and hone their skills in killing tribesmen.
It must come as a rude surprise that the Americans unilaterally decided to runaway without consulting them and have a coordinated plan to retreat from Afghanistan. And with the big gangsters out of the way, the little monkeys would become easy targets for the Taliban. They would not stand a chance without the big military umbrella of the Americans.
Now they started to panic. And it is no consolation for Biden to say the allied troops have a choice to stay on. What a thoughtless and disgusting reply by Biden. These little white monkeys would be eaten up by the Taliban for breakfast if left on their own. They were there hanging on the coat tails of the Americans and to say they could stay on, it is their choice, is very rude and harsh.
Biden forgot that the little monkeys were persuaded to go along in this killing mission, under the coercion of the Americans, you are with us or against us. Now the Americans are saying, you die your business, we are getting out and you do what you want, to stay or to live.
What a great friend the Americans are. Luckily no silly Asean country is caught in this stupid mess and could not get out in time, and in harm's way. Without the American military might, the rest of the allies are just little monkeys joining the fray, having a little fun. Left on their own, they will surely die...in the hands of the Taliban and tribesmen.
