  1. Diplomacy = Giving money to terrorists?

    – Blinken Mar 28 (2'rd anniversary of the "catastrophic" departure from Afghanistan), at the "Women's Place in Democracy" conference held by the US State Department: We continue to support women in Iran and Afghanistan through diplomacy!!

    – Blinken Mar 23 admitted in a meeting in Congress that there are still 175 Americans in Afghanistan, some of whom are in the custody of the Taliban!

    Biden also left behind thousands of Afghan citizens who helped the US military during its 20-year presence in Afghanistan.

    – Rep Joe Wilson: "It's inexcusable, after the failed withdrawal from Afghanistan, Russia attacked Ukraine and China's threats to Taiwan have increased. Afghanistan has again become a center of terrorist threats!"

    —- Richard Bennett, UN human rights reporter Mar 26: "The Taliban have recently arrested Ruqia Sai, Fatemeh Mohammadi and Malali Hashemi, women protesting against the closure of girls' schools above the sixth grade in Kabul, and I ask the Taliban to Release these women immediately and unconditionally!

    -The U.S. has provided $8 Bn in aid to Afghanistan since Aug 2021, and whether these aids are humanitarian in nature or otherwise, they may unintentionally legitimize the Taliban!!'

    The aid operation in Afghanistan relies on a cash transfer line by the United Nations, where shipments of $40 M are transferred from the New York reservation to Kabul! The Taliban spent this money just for their relatives trip to the U.S. or gave it to their militias!

    – Saudi Arabia, an ally of the US, just day after disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan contacted Russia for massive weapon contracts! Later on Saudi Arabia approved to Join Shanghai Cooperation!!

  2. 82 billion in taxpayer equipment left behind. Should come out of Democrat congressional members, pay, retirements

  3. Of course he blames Trump..he can't take responsibility for anything HE has done to destroy this country.

  4. Of course he blames Trump..he can't take responsibility for anything HE has fine to destroy this country.

  5. Of course he blames Trump..he can't take responsibility for anything HE has fine to destroy this country.

  6. How do the family members of the 13 dead soldiers feel to hear Biden and his admin. say they are PROUD. Biden is a disgrace

  7. Nobody's telling the whole story. This was a promise kept. See, when JB was VP, his son HB traveled w/him to China, Ukraine, Russia, along with JK's stepson & a 3rd partner. Why? They were brokering trillion dollar mining deals with the Chinese for all the rare earth minerals needed in electric vehicles, solar panels, green b.s.. Where are these minerals? Afghanistan & Africa. Child labor & slaves will work these mines.

  8. This says a lot of the current regime. Blame everyone but themselves

  9. Psychotic to blame Trump.

  10. What a farse. The withdrawal from Afghanistan was all Joe Biden. 100% his and these wimpy military advisors. We lost 13 members due to a failure of planning and preparation. A botched execution by Joe Biden. He owns this.

  11. If the White House should be hit with a bolt of lightning, you can bet your bottom dollar that Donald Trump is in some way responsible.

  12. So it turns out “the buck stops here” really means whatever happens while I’m President is somebody else’s fault.

  13. Liar this was ALL your fault

  14. These the same people telling us the US Economy is fine and the dollar isn't in jeopardy from the BRIC nations. Total BS artists. Media has lost all credibility as well.

  15. The bogus indictment of President Donald Trump is a diversion to the real issues of Joe's massive corruptions, the coverup of Hunter's laptop, the invasion by illegal and terrorist immigrants to our borders and now they are floating the failure of Joe, the democrats and the military botched war in Afghanistan which they suddenly blamed their failures to President Trump.They want to fool the American people and destroy Trump for his landslide victory in 2024 election.🇺🇲🧑💪👏🤣

  16. the media has lost all respect

  17. Wasn’t in general Milley in charge? – Joe Biden hasn’t been in charge of anything since he took office. (Apparently.). Didn’t Joe Biden order the Afghan withdrawal? Then, How could it be Trump’s fault?

  18. Joe Biden a spineless corrupt and Fraudulent leader can't even take responsibility for his own failures and has to blame someone else, the USA can afford to have such a spineless leader.

  19. All leftist lies! Blood is on Bidens hand!

  20. Those weak afghan men running like cowards are the reason the Taliban took over, don’t expect this generation of soy boys to protect this country.

  21. Biden own military leaders said they were following Biden’s orders

  22. POLITICIANS MUST PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH $$

    Most of the time as a politician stands up

    Along with the truth, their brain sits down.

    Promising anything and everything to anyone

    While posing to the public, to be on common ground.

    The higher the office the greater the corruption

    As candidates compete for those dead presidents of green.

    While we're taxed to death to fund their pork

    Our cost for everything has become obscene.

    Thank God there are some better than most

    Not squeaky clean, but more honest than others.

    Regardless of party, they deserve our vote

    For they share our thoughts like sisters and brothers.

    Politicians who wish to be revered by history

    Must earn their fame by living the truth.

    Any who continue to mislead and deceive

    Must be shunned by the voter at the booth.

    Those who wish to advise others

    Must practice what they preach

    For their pupils need inspiring

    To follow what they teach.

    Good advice helps to find our way

    Though the process may seem slow.

    Experience is our best teacher

    Of who’s truth we need to know.

  23. Joe made the taliban great again

  24. President Biden told them the date we were leaving is like the Japanese telling us that they are bombing Pearl Harbor on December 7th or Eisenhower telling Hitler we are landing at Normandy. The only thing that is Trumps fault is negotiating with the Taliban in the 1st place because they can't be trusted 😢

  25. Biden will be to blame for war with Russia too

  26. Biden went to war against Russia in Ukraine battleground. Biden is to blame for this war as well. Never mind millions killed by abortion.

  27. Zero to blame on Trump. 100% blame on Biden

  28. I’m surprised he didn’t blame Rumsfeld.

  29. Somebody once said " if you tell a lie often enough it becomes the truth" .Half or more of the world believe the mainstream media propaganda but thank God many more are waking up .You don't need much smarts to see through these puppets .

  30. JOE BIDEN Is using the JUDICIAL POWER to remove POLITICAL OPPONENTS as TRUMP.
    Is this the rigth way Mr. Soros❓

  31. THAT WOMAN THAT YOU GAVE ME, GAVE OF THE FRUIT AND I ATE!!!!
    Nothing, but blame games!!!!!

  32. Don't forget Biden also said he inherited a bad economy and high gas prices!😂😂😂😂

  33. Americans are so funny to watch. They blame the left and right politicians but never once acknowledge that their country entered multiple countries illegally and destroyed the whole entire World. Lmao. Americans are psychopaths but there's not much time left for them. These hypocrites are afraid to fight on home soil. They didn't take one shot at any communist or treasonous politicians but they love to pose for memes with their " come take it " nonsense. These people are weaklings

  34. Wow they actually took shots at Biden am I dreaming good for u nbc! That’s the first time I’ve seen real news on here

  35. Joe's Commander in Chief, if He didn't like the Strategy, He could have Easily changed it…13 Dead
    1st time Americans lefted behind

  36. But he's proud of killing 13 American service members😮

  37. Biden and the fake WOKE news that supports him are beyond disgusting.

  38. This is the prize proud video of this administration. All done because joe insisted this to be done on anniversary of Afghanistan war. And he checked his watch when the soldiers that were murdered came home from this disastrous fiasco.

  39. This administration is a joke
