US State Department chief Blinken could be sued over failure in Afghanistan

Representatives of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives of the US Congress are planning to serve State Department head Anthony Blinken with a subpoena. Thus, congressmen expect to gain access to secret documents related to the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan.

According to the Associated Press news agency, such an initiative by the Republicans is an unprecedented attempt to force the US Congress to release secret documents.

Mike McCall, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives, noted that he had previously turned to Blinken with a request for access to relevant documents. This refers to data confirming that even before the fall of Kabul, in July 2021, Blinken was warned about this possibility.

The United States began to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan in the spring of 2021. After a sharp reduction in the US army contingent, the militants of the Taliban movement, recognized in Russia as a terrorist and banned movement, practically without meeting any resistance, occupied key regions of the country, and already in mid-August captured the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul. At the same time, the US Army was forced to abandon billions of dollars worth of weapons and military equipment, as well as refuse to evacuate its allies from among the local residents.

Despite the fact that many officials around the world have described what happened as a failure of US policy, Washington argues that the withdrawal of US troops was necessary.

the withdrawal of American troops was necessary.

They left so many weapons with a specialist - a threat to our southern underbelly ....

Well, in principle, yes, but there is a problem for the Taliban - the weapon is complex and requires regular maintenance. Obviously, there are not a large number of specialists ...

when the banned only took Kabul and the main key points, even then there was information that they were hiring technical personnel through intermediaries for good money, it came to such incidents that those who had fought in mercenaries against them yesterday went to them to find a job ... and the banned were taken their.

And they have money - like du.raka shag. There is something to pay.
Avon when Ahmad Shah Massoud was still loading oranges barrels of emeralds. I still have a small pebble for memory - I bought it in a dukan. It cost like three packs of American cigarettes. Alexandrite, lapis lazuli - there are SO MANY things in the mountains! There are only two problems - roads and electricity.

This expression means - there is nothing. No money) Because no matter how much the fool has shag, he will immediately distribute it, and he will be left with nothing ...

I would ask Blinkin how the Taliban * restored the combat capability of 100 armored vehicles. They only have 20000 Humvees in warehouses. There is where Wagner mechanics have fun.

[evgen1221]

There are many nuances here. Amer's weapons cost nothing, in general, the whole world and the same Afghanistan pays for them. Too bad to quit. The logistics of export and disposal are more expensive than release, purchases, see above. The reserve for the future is to leave so many weapons, it means that they will continue to fight between themselves and the opposition, and both will buy BC and new ones in Uamerige.

And the first thing the Taliban did was they announced that there were no complaints against Russia in principle) And then they began to ask for help. They are not some kind of frostbitten terrorists, but people who are concerned about the future of their country. Whoever they tried to represent all around. Paradoxically, but true) The last thing that comes to their mind is to threaten us. Americans don't understand people at all. Are they people at all? I doubt something....

Apparently Blinken does not care much, because. behind him is the president with all the administrative and power resources. And he cannot disclose secret documents by his order.

[tralflot1832]

You won’t envy Blinkin, this is not a TV show where you can shut up anyone’s mouth. The Republicans will tear Blinkin like a heating pad.

[Nexcom]

They will also check Blinkin's financial interest .....

. They left and left, they did the right thing ... it is unlikely that this is what worries someone. But to delve into the accounting department, find compromising evidence on political followers, yes, this is a big yummy!

[solar]

Well, the Republicans give!
Actually, the decision to withdraw American troops was made by the Republican Trump, and what about some Blinken?

[tralflot1832]

In fact, self-propelled Joe was withdrawing troops, but he could have scored on Trump's agreement. The United States does only what is beneficial to them. In conclusion, they admitted their defeat.

[QuestionsNeudobny]

so let him sit! sorry, isn't it? maybe it will become a barn

[evgen1221]

Oh well, they will. He passed the mandate, went to the corporation, everything is beyond jurisdiction, he is no longer a politician, which means that he is not responsible for his previous actions as a politician!

[QuestionsNeudobny]

so he will die with fear! the most sycophant state secretary of the entire shabold camarilla. paws are constantly shaking, either with fear, or the senile shaking hugged

[Uprun]

And how "beautifully" and "organized" they came out ..... To the BIS, ............... from the outskirts "beautifully and organized."

Both statements are true. The withdrawal of troops was clearly necessary. At the same time - what happened, it was quite obviously a failure of US policy.

[Petr_Koldunov]

It would be nice if they also put him in prison ... he is so sugary - it is quite suitable for lifting soap from the floor for a huge black man all the time. And if they put the Minister of Defense there too, then Blinken will have his own huge Negro

Zhirinovsky has repeatedly spoken about the need to recognize the Taliban by the Foreign Ministry. As the orientalist said.
