One week after the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, we do well to do a brief inventory of the fallout at home and abroad. Three points to consider from reports at home and abroad over the past few days.
Biden not only gave Afghanistan back to the Taliban. He also allowed them to take possession of military bases, vehicles, communications equipment, small arms, and ammunition.
The New York Post reports the Taliban now has billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. weapons, including Black Hawk helicopters, Humvees, and up to 600,000 rifles
The Daily Wire reports the Biden administration is considering air strikes to destroy American weapons in Taliban possession.
Biden is trying so hard to control the narrative, his administration is trying to censor the president of France.
The Blaze reports the White House is accused of removing from the transcript of Biden’s call with French President Macron a plea from the French leader that Biden share ‘moral responsibility’ for rescuing Afghanis
Hollywood royalty and British Lords are coming down hard on Biden, and rightly so.
The Blaze reports Angelina Jolie is ‘ashamed’ of Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, describing it as having been undertaken in “the most chaotic way imaginable.”
The Daily Wire reports British Lords roundly condemned Biden administration for catastrophic bungling in Afghanistan, calling this a loss for not only the U.S. and her allies, but the West as a whole.
The blessing and curse of representative government is that when we Americans are led by great men, we can walk tall on the world stage and in the annals of history. But when we are led by the corrupt and ineffectual whose best defense for overseeing catastrophic failure is either incompetence or cognitive decline, then also are we represented.
Perhaps it is fitting that Biden is the so-called leader of the free world right now. Confused, defiant, willful, stubborn, and dishonest - the humiliation is too much to be borne, unless this is God's judgment on our nation. The wind has been sown, and perhaps now we reap the whirlwind.
However, I for one do still pray that the good Lord delivers us from evil and leads us not into temptation.
