TRUMP REACTS ON THE FALL OF KABUL, AFGHANISTAN.

TRUMP REACTS ON THE FALL OF KABUL, AFGHANISTAN. Statement by Donald J. Trump - 45th President of the United States of America Joe Biden gets it wrong every time on foreign policy, and many other issues. Everyone knew he couldn’t handle the pressure. Even Obama’s Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, said as much.  He ran out of Afghanistan instead of following the plan our Administration left for him—a plan that protected our people and our property, and ensured the Taliban would never dream of taking our Embassy or providing a base for new attacks against America. The withdrawal would be guided by facts on the ground. After I took out ISIS, I established a credible deterrent. That deterrent is now gone. The Taliban no longer has fear or respect for America, or America’s power. What a disgrace it will be when the Taliban raises their flag over America’s Embassy in Kabul. This is complete failure through weakness, incompetence, and total strategic incoherence.

640 people crammed into a U.S. military cargo plane as they tried to flee Kabul following the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan's capital. The U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III left Afghanistan for Qatar on Sunday night, carrying what is believed to be among the highest number of people ever flown in such an aircraft, according defense and security news site Defense One. Thousands of Afghans rushed onto the tarmac of Kabul's airport seeking transportation out of the country. The C-17 was among several other flights that carried hundreds of Afghans out of the country, according Defense One.
