Posted on 21st Aug 2021 by rohit kumar

US President Joe Biden addressed the country late on Friday night on the latest situation in Afghanistan. This was his second address in 4 days. During this, Biden said that at this time there is a big crisis in front of the world. We have evacuated more than 18,000 people from Kabul since July and about 13,000 since August 14. It is involved in the most difficult and largest airlift operation in history, but we will not leave any American behind. The situation there is not very good even for the Taliban.

 

He assured us that our army will be present in Kabul till all the people of America leave. Biden said that we have worked with Afghanistan for 20 years. Even at this time, we have 6 thousand soldiers present in Kabul. If the Taliban attacks US forces, it will not be tolerated at all. Also said that we will make a big decision on Afghanistan next week.

 

Big things from Biden's speech

 

Our jawans are guarding the Kabul airport. Due to this, people are being evacuated not only from military flights but also from charter planes of other countries.

ISIS terrorists are a bigger threat. NATO countries stand with America. Terrorists who have escaped from jail can attack.

It was time to end the war in Afghanistan. NATO countries also agreed with this decision. We will make a big decision at the G-7 meeting next week.

This mission is very dangerous. Despite the risk, the army is running it in difficult conditions. I can't promise what the result will be. Whatever it is, it will happen without the risk of loss.

Earlier, the Afghan President was held responsible

Biden addressed the nation for the first time on Monday-Tuesday night after the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. During this, he blamed President Ashraf Ghani and the leadership there for the situation created there.

 

He had said, "I believe the Taliban were captured too soon. The Afghan leadership laid down its arms too soon. We spent billions of dollars there. Trained the Afghan force. How did such a large army and armed people give up? Lee, has to think about it. This is a serious issue."

 

This time the questions of the media were answered

Two things were different on Friday from the previous address. Biden came alone last time and left without answering questions from the media. On Friday, he also answered questions. During this, Vice President Kamala Harris and Foreign Minister Antony Blinken stood behind him.
