The Guardian: Afghan president blames ‘hasty’ US troop withdrawal for worsening violence
Ashraf Ghani comments come as government forces battle to prevent Lashkar Gah falling to the Taliban
Afghanistan’s president, Ashraf Ghani, has blamed the speedy withdrawal of US-led troops for the worsening violence in his country, as government forces battled to prevent provincial cities from falling to the Taliban in a major escalation in fighting.
Taliban fighters assaulted at least three provincial capitals overnight – Lashkar Gah, Kandahar and Herat – after a weekend of heavy fighting that resulted in thousands of civilians fleeing the advancing militants.
On Monday, Ghani told parliament that “an imported, hasty” peace process “not only failed to bring peace but created doubt and ambiguity” among Afghans.

WNU Editor: There is a lot of blame to go around for what is happening in Afghanistan today. But the quick and unconditional U.S. withdrawal did surprise the Afghan government and America's allies in Afghanistan.
It looks like the only ones who are not surprised are the Taliban, who appear to have been ready to launch this military offensive once US troops started to leave.

The Doha Agreement February 29, 2020 deal was supported by China, Russia and Pakistan and unanimously endorsed by the UN Security Council. It gave a 14 month lead time for complete withdrawal. It was not hasty.
The UN's imprimatur on the deal should be sufficient to convince any liberal that it is a good deal.
Now Biden's flip flopping and exit a mere 5 months after announcing it is hasty and ill conceived.
Don't you dare criticize our dear leader Joseph Biden. He can do no wrong!!!
Sure, he might have touched a few kids and harassed a few women, so what? That is normal Democrat behaviour and I'm sick and tired of people coming after Democrats just because they're demons. It's their right, goddamit!!!

What cry babies.. bitching and whining about us leaving after we stayed there for 2 decades!
Did we not kill hundreds of thousands of civilians while we were there? So shut up, we did our part to stabilise your country!!
And don't you dare say killing and torturing civilians doesn't stabilise a country. Look at what Democrats do in Washington.. don't tell me that how they keep their political prisoners doesn't help stabilise the country. And were the killings and lootings and assaults during the summer of love not enjoyable for everyone???
And it's not like we are completely gone. We'll stick around for spontaneous bombings, it's not like we completely cut you off!!
Thankyou Comrade Xi (6:07)
