We made a lot of mistakes in Afghanistan: Biden

Desk report: The Western-backed Afghan government has collapsed in the face of the Taliban’s relentless advance. U.S. citizens have been shamefully evacuated after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban. US President Joe Biden had to be humiliated by that. Donald Trump even asked him to resign.Then US President Joe Biden addressed the nation. In that speech, he said, we have to accept the truth; The United States has taken many wrong steps in Afghanistan over the past two decades.In a speech at the White House on Monday, Biden acknowledged that his country had made many mistakes during its 20-year US military presence in Afghanistan. Joe Biden also acknowledged that the United States was responsible for the current situation in Afghanistan.Regarding the fall of Kabul, the US president said Ashraf Ghani (the former Afghan president) had assured that Afghan troops would fight the Taliban. But his idea was wrong. Americans cannot die in a war where Afghans are unwilling to fight to defend themselves.Biden expressed regret over the US occupation of Afghanistan over the past two decades and said, “I do not want to confuse the American people by claiming that everything would be fine with a few more troops in Afghanistan.” At the same time, I will not hesitate to take responsibility for where we stand today and how to move forward from here.”I am deeply saddened by the current situation in Afghanistan,” he said. But I do not regret the decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. If the army had been deployed for a long time and then the day the army was withdrawn, the situation would have been as it is today.In a statement, Biden acknowledged the defeat of US forces in the war in Afghanistan. On Sunday (August 15th), the Taliban entered the Afghan capital, Kabul, and on the same day, President Ashraf Ghani fled the country. With his escape, the Afghan government collapsed.There is a lot of speculation about where Ashraf Gani has gone. Some say he went to Tajikistan, some say he went to Oman via Uzbekistan, and some say the former Afghan president fled to the United States. However, wherever he went, he was loaded with cars and helicopters and landed with huge sums of money.
