US Press: Against the backdrop of the fiasco in Afghanistan, our authorities report success

In an atmosphere of Taliban control over almost the entire territory of Afghanistan, the Americans and their allies continue to evacuate their troops and civilians from Kabul. NATO countries are forced to rush as the Taliban (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) announced that they would no longer be evacuated from the country after 31 August.

Meanwhile, according to Politico, top officials close to Biden have begun aggressively touting the success of their evacuation efforts in the war-torn country, frequently updating information on the number of those removed. Reporting the successes, they called the operation "historic" and similar to the Berlin Air Bridge in 1949, when the Allies organized air links with West Berlin to provide it with food during the "blockade" by the Soviet Union.



For example, according to former Hillary Clinton aide Philip Raines, the Joseph Biden administration is working "at an incredible pace" to bring the situation under control. Affected by the big time difference between the two regions of the world. The United States has evacuated 10 people over the past 70 days, and more than 700 since July, the president said. At the same time, Biden himself announced 75 thousand.

All is happening against the backdrop of confusion over the timing of the withdrawal of troops and reports of a blocked entrance to Kabul airport after the rapid seizure of the country by militants.

According to the American publication, for Biden's supporters, the evacuation is like a real "achievement" and highlights a new reality that deserves wider recognition. After much criticism of the Afghanistan fiasco, the president now has something to brag about. But the media are skeptical. They believe that it is inappropriate to claim success against the backdrop of the failure of the mission in Afghanistan.
