Flashback: In July, Biden Stated the Taliban Would Not Take Over Afghanistan

A press conference from July is coming back to haunt Joe Biden. In the press conference, Biden emphatically implied that there was no way the Taliban was going to take over Afghanistan.

It all started when a reporter asked him if a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan was inevitable, in which Biden sharply replied that there were over 300,000 extremely equipped Afghan troops and an Air Force to compliment those troops against only 75,000 Taliban fighters.

Biden then declared that the Afghan government wasn’t going to collapse. He later said that there will be no circumstances of an personnel from the embassy being airlifted from the U.S. Embassy, due to a threatening attack from the Taliban.
