| | At the same time, we can see the United States’ real attitude to its client states. Ukraine was almost immediately turned into a testing site for military biological experiments and is being flooded with weapons, including heavy weaponry, without any heed to the Kiev regime’s statements about its desire to obtain [[nuclear weapon]]s. The Kiev authorities have declared this desire publicly, but everyone keeps silent. We also know about their plans to use a so-called “dirty bomb” as a provocation.<ref>https://youtu.be/e3YWaIq0fFk</ref>}} | | At the same time, we can see the United States’ real attitude to its client states.

| | + | The U.S. military left the strategic [[Bagram]] Airfield in [[Afghanistan]] in the dead of night in early July 2021, leaving behind “thousands of civilian vehicles, including many that no longer had keys, and hundreds of armored military vehicles, such as Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, or MRAPs…”<ref>https://www.businessinsider.com/us-military-left-behind-millions-of-things-at-key-base-2021-7</ref> There are reports of the seizure by the Taliban of a “massive boon” of U.S. weapons supplied to and now abandoned by U.S.-trained Afghani soldiers. “The Taliban now find themselves flush with American-supplied tools, without having to raise a single penny.”<ref>https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210814-weapon-seizures-massive-boon-for-taliban-as-cities-fall</ref> |

| | + | During a press conference on August 18, 2021 at the Pentagon, Austin and [[woke]] Gen. [[Mark Milley]] admitted that several US aircraft flew out of the country during the 2021 Rape of Afghanistan. They think they were flown to [[Russian Federation|Russian Federal Republics]] of [[Uzbekistan]] or [[Tajikistan]], but they were not sure. Austin and Milley had no idea how many aircraft were taken.<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/08/biden-effect-us-lost-several-military-aircraft-flown-afghanistan-no-idea-many-lost-video/</ref> |

| | + | On August 18, 2021 [[NBC News]] reported that the U.S. was working with the Taliban to evacuate Americans and allies out of Afghanistan. Gen. Mark Milley stated, "Through the State Department, the Taliban are facilitating safe passage to the airport for American citizens, that is, U.S. passport holders." An exchange with a reporter and Austin went like this: |

| | + | {{quotebox-float|'''Q:''' It seems to me like barring a lobotomy by the Taliban; you have three pathways ahead of you. One, you can expand the perimeter and establish a corridor into Kabul to get our Afghan allies out. Two, you could extend the August 31 deadline of withdrawing. Or three, you can just leave the tens of thousands of Afghans who've helped us over the past 20 years behind. Which one is it going to be? |
| | + | |
| | + | '''SEC. AUSTIN:''' First of all, as I said, we're going to evacuate everybody that we can physically possibly evacuate. And we'll -- we'll conduct these -- this process for as long as we possibly can. We will continue to deconflict issues with -- with the Taliban. And we will stay focused on securing the -- the airfield. We cannot afford to either not defend that airfield or -- or -- or not have an airfield that secures where we have hundreds or thousands of civilians that can access the airfield at will and put our forces at risk. |
| | + | |
| | + | '''Q:''' But that doesn't answer the question. I mean, you're still saying you're focused on the airfield. These -- these people can't get into the airfield. |
| | + | |
| | + | '''SEC. AUSTIN:''' Well we're going to do everything we can to continue to try to deconflict and create passageways for them to get to the airfield. I don't have the capability to go out and extend operations currently into Kabul. And where do you take that? I mean, how far can you extend into Kabul, you know, and how long does it take to flow those forces in to be able to do that? |
| | + | |
| | + | '''Q:''' So it sounds like you're saying this depends on diplomacy with the Taliban, that's it. That's our only option is getting them to agree to do this.<ref>https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/2738086/secretary-of-defense-austin-and-chairman-of-the-joint-chiefs-of-staff-gen-mille/</ref>}} |
