American Congressman Set Moulton, a few days ago, secretly departed to Afghanistan, in an interview with the AXIOS portal wondered why the US military personnel were first of all rapidly left the airfield by the Bagram, knowing that in the near future they would have a large number of people from the country.
“I think that the terrible decision was to abandon the Bagra. Why is it possible to refuse our [USA] the main [military] airfield, when is it known in advance, what should we evacuate tens of thousands of people? It just blew up my mind”, – said Moulton.
In his opinion, the deadly catastrophe at the airport of Kabul could be prevented if the American authorities began evacuation before – for several months.
He also stated that the extension of evacuation terms would not lead to a significant change in the situation. According to him, even if the US military delay in Afghanistan until September 11, people who expect evacuation, too much and take everyone in such a short time. Therefore, Moulton notes, Washington will have to lead diplomatic negotiations with the leadership of the Taliban (the terrorist organization “Taliban” is prohibited in Russia) to be able to continue evacuating citizens.
Previously, the Washington Post newspaper reported on the intention of the US President Joe Bayden to take all the staff of American diplomices from Afghanistan until August 31. According to the publication, there will be a temporary attorney in US Affairs in Afghanistan Ross Wilson.
August 27 reported that the “Taliban” movement turned to the United States with a request to leave their diplomats in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of American troops from the country.
