[REGNUM] The statement of the head of the White House Joe Biden about the consequences of the withdrawal of the American military from Afghanistan is erroneous . On July 8, Alexei Pushkov, Chairman of the Federation Council Commission on Information Policy, wrote about this in his telegram channel . According to the senator, the head of state assesses the situation in the same way as former US presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush. "Biden is wrong about Afghanistan. Just as Bush Jr. and Obama, who fought a hopeless war there, were wrong," he said. In addition, the parliamentarian noted that the previous American president Donald Trump felt differently. "Trump was not mistaken: he realized long ago that he had to leave, even run, quickly and recklessly," the senator stressed. At the same time, according to Pushkov, the current head of the White House still follows the plans of his predecessor, but pretends that the situation is under control. "Trump's plan is now being carried out by Biden. But he is trying to pretend that Afghanistan is not lost yet. Lost" the parliamentarian added. As reported by IA REGNUM , on July 8, Joe Biden said that the United States has achieved its goals in Afghanistan and is leaving the country after "the longest war . " He added that Afghan government troops are capable of repelling the offensive of the radical Taliban movement (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation). |

| #1 They should get piles of investment money and build resorts there. Golf courses. Hiking trails. Convention centers. And then require government employees to go there. (Hell, basic sanitation would be an impovement.) |
