During a press conference Friday, President Joe Biden claimed that our allies have not questioned our credibility amid the botched American-conducted withdrawal from Afghanistan that left thousands of citizens of western nations as well as Afghan allies scrambling to evacuate and flee the Taliban’s takeover.
“I have seen no questioning of our credibility from our allies around the world,” Biden asserted.
His statement comes after a number of members of the British Parliament condemned the United States’ haphazard departure from the country as “catastrophic” and “shameful,” with members uniting to “dishonor” the foreign policy fiasco, the Telegraph reported.

Lying and misrepresentation has always come easy for Biden. It only gets worse as he gets older. He’s an idiot, and there’s no other way to express it!

So while Britain, France, and Germany have their military rounding up and transporting their citizens home, Joe's wandering aimlessly around the G-7 (G-12?) cafeteria. What rift ?

Good grief, is he unaware that the Brits held him in contempt?

FTA ... I have seen no questioning of our credibility from our allies around the world,
Does this idiot not understand that he is saying he doesn't see what everybody else in the USA does see ?

Think about this. Comparing Biden's actions during a time of crisis to American presidents past...... Would any other president, Republican or Democrat, disappear for long stretches of time - days in fact - during a legitimate crisis when 1000s of American lives are at risk?
And would they then run back home after a couple of desultory, uninspired, mechanical public pronouncements to spend a long weekend out of Washington?
No, of course they would not and have not. Every normal political advisor would demand he stay in town. So are his handlers normal political advisors? Not possible.
Biden is ill. He is incapable of doing his job and should be removed from office forthwith. He is a Manchurian President. He's got to go.

His wiggle room: “I have seen no questioning...."
He hasn't seen it but does not mean there is no questioning by our allies.
(read #1's post).
Plus, he changes the topic by mentioning "questioning of our credibility".

At this point in time, Biteme should be worried about the opinions of the REAL citizens of this country, and not some foreign country's thoughts on Afghanistan. Notice how the demosluts are more concerned about foreigners than REAL American citizens. Remember that the next time one goes to vote.

He considers China to be his ally, so his statement may seem true to him

It is fascinating to see the likes of rabid #NeverTrumper Steve Hayes castigating Biden for his assessments…al Qaeda in Afghanistan, etc. Juan Williams believes Biden is "sticking to his principles”… Juan is stupid and lives in a self-made cul-de-sac.

Hmmm, have the Allies called to say nice things to you lately?

I’m sure that China, Russia, Iran and the Taliban were delighted with his performance.
