The US does not have a military presence in Syria that would guarantee security

Terrorist threats from Syria or East Africa are more serious for the United States than from Afghanistan, American President Joe Biden said in an interview with ABC.

The triumphant victory of the Taliban only seems final. Right now, several military and political leaders of Afghanistan are gathering their forces to fight the Taliban. Who are these people, what regions and resources are behind them – and do they have a chance to defeat the religious fanatics who entered Kabul so easily?

US President Joe Biden said that the agreement of his predecessor Donald Trump with representatives of the Taliban movement (recognized as a terrorist and banned in the Russian Federation) helped to avoid attacks on the US military in Afghanistan.

US intelligence allowed the fall of the Afghan government towards the end of this year, but there was no consensus on this. At the same time, no one foresaw that the army of this country would collapse so soon, US President Joe Biden said in an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, August 18.

The administration of US President Donald Trump never planned to completely withdraw the American contingent from Afghanistan. On August 18, the Defense One edition writes about this, citing the words of the former acting US Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller.

The United States can maintain its military contingent in Afghanistan even after August 31, if by that time it will not be possible to evacuate all its citizens from the Islamic Republic, said the head of the White House Joe Biden.

The evacuation of civilians carried out by the United States at the Kabul airport is likely to become the second largest operation of its kind in American history, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces Mark Milley said on Wednesday.

There are no prerequisites for the entry of the Russian military contingent into Afghanistan, Russia will focus on political and diplomatic efforts, said the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev.
