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.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

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

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.

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."
