“No wonder Kamala Harris wasn’t around”
US President Joe Biden has again come under fire for the death of American soldiers in explosions near the Kabul airport. Speaking at the White House after the terrorist attacks, he said that he was fully responsible for the recent events in Afghanistan. The expert said that the Afghan catastrophe will have a deplorable impact on the political fate of the American leader.

“I am fully responsible for everything that has happened recently,” the head of the White House said, answering a question from journalists about whether he feels responsible for the deaths of 13 US servicemen in the explosions near the Kabul airport.
Biden also explained why the United States left the largest military airbase Bagram. Earlier, critics noted that American troops could use it to evacuate thousands of people from Afghanistan. But the head of the White House noted that, according to some military personnel, it was not of great value, so it was suggested to focus on Kabul.
Meanwhile, a number of representatives of the Republican Party called on Biden to resign from the presidential post.
“The time has come to bring to justice, starting with those whose unsuccessful planning allowed these attacks to happen,” The Washington Post quotes Senator Marsha Blackburn’s reaction to the bombings at the Kabul airport. “Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Anthony Blinken, Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley should all resign or be impeached and removed from office.”
Another Republican, Elise Stefanik, wrote on Twitter: “Joe Biden’s hands are covered in blood” – the explosions at the airport of the Afghan capital and the death of American soldiers there were made possible due to the “incompetent and weak” leadership of the American president
Republican Senator Todd Young said on the social network: “These brave soldiers did everything possible to ensure the evacuation of Americans and innocent Afghan allies. Unfortunately, their heroic efforts were undermined by President Biden and his administration, who failed them at every step. The people of America cannot and should not put up with these errors in the judgments of their commander-in-chief.”
According to Vladimir Vasiliev, chief Researcher at the Institute of the USA and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences, already today we can say that Biden’s political days are numbered.
“There are more and more voices regarding his impeachment or voluntary resignation from the post of head of the White House,” the expert comments. ” The statement of the American leader that he takes responsibility for the recent events in Afghanistan is clearly not made from a good life. This confession can be regarded as an attempt to delay something on the principle of “the sword does not cut the guilty head”. As a rule, the next step is retirement.
After the death of American soldiers, which was caused by the decision to withdraw troops by August 31, Biden realized that he would no longer be able to shift the responsibility to someone else. There is one reason for this – he really made a sole decision to withdraw military personnel against the advice of the Ministry of Defense, the State Department and US intelligence.
It seems that Biden is being framed. Otherwise, I just don’t see any rational logic in this decision. It is difficult to say today who does it and how. But, apparently, the president is being framed by those forces in America who wanted him to seriously think about resigning his powers.”
In this regard, the fact that US Vice President Kamala Harris was not in Washington at the time of Biden’s speech is also indicative, although this may be a coincidence, the expert believes. She was on a trip to Southeast Asia.
“I do not exclude the possibility that this visit was planned in advance,” the political scientist continues. – With this step, Harris shows that she is not involved in what is happening and lives according to her own program. And this is really very important. In the US, they will say that Biden is to blame, but Harris is “pink and fluffy”. Then the possibility of replacement will be considered.
It is also very significant that a few days ago, an influential Republican senator and a close friend of Trump, Lindsey Graham, called for the impeachment of the head of the White House. Due to the fact that he has been living on Capitol Hill for 15-20 years, he has good personal ties with Biden himself. Many were alarmed by the fact that such authoritative politicians as Graham should not run ahead of the locomotive with such statements…
Thus, today we can say that Biden’s presidency has a chance to end prematurely. At least because he clearly does not control the situation, and the Democratic Party will not survive another failure – and they can easily happen. Many say that Afghanistan could cost the Democrats Congress. If not both chambers, then they will clearly lose at least one.”
According to the expert, the United States is also waiting for the results of checking ballots cast in Maricopa County (Arizona) during the 2020 presidential election – these data are constantly being delayed.
“And if it suddenly turns out that the results are rigged, it will become clear that Biden is not only an incompetent, but also an illegitimate president,” Vladimir Vasiliev noted. – Moreover, now there are voices in America that require a recount, not only in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, but also in other states.
Independent experts ‘ estimates also appeared, suggesting that Biden did not get 81 million votes, since 8 million of them were attributed. This figure has never been questioned before. If you believe such calculations, the current American leader scored 1.5-2 million votes less than his predecessor Trump.
Recently, the Supreme Court has also been making an equivocation, which seems to have returned to the pro-Trump position again. The importance of political expediency in the United States is very great. Today, the situation clearly resembles what happened in the first half of the 1970s, when the so-called “bifurcation point”appeared in America. Until some point, everyone clung to Biden and supported him, and thenthere was a sharp change and everyone, even the most loyal supporters, began to openly attack him. They are most likely afraid of one simple thing: by handing over Biden, they will thereby rehabilitate Trump.”
