State Department spokesman: US ‘in a stronger position as a country’ because of Afghanistan withdrawl

 
By Lindsay Kornick , Alexa Moutevelis | Fox News
 
 
State Department spokesperson Ned Price claimed on Monday that the U.S. is "in a stronger position as a country" today because of President Biden’s decision to pull out of Afghanistan one year ago.

Many have considered the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan to be a disaster after the nation’s capital quickly fell to the Taliban despite Biden's reassurance, and thousands of American citizens and allies were left stranded or scrambling to safely get out of the country. Still, Price continued to claim the effort was a success in a press conference.

"Many of us here at the Department and across the government, and millions of Americans and Afghans alike, are mindful of today’s meaning as the 20-year-long U.S. military mission in Afghanistan ended nearly one year ago," Price said.

I still think that it's China that's in a better position.

I guess you can say Russia, China and all other autocratic regimes, including Iran.

The Department of State has been working against OUR interests for a long time. This should surprise no one.

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Maybe if we'd done it right, but we left the Taliban in an extremely strong position. They've been quiet - too quiet. My gut says they are focused on Pakistan and their nukes.
The Republic is lost.

That is my thinking as well.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Why should I trust anything said by someone named, "Ned"?

Ned is not a trustworthy name.

Remember this Ned?  Does this look like strength, Ned?  If you were Putin or Xi, would you see this and think, "Woah! America looks unbeatable! We need to surrender now."

"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview
