As the American military and western allies have withdrawn from Afghanistan, the Taliban has rapidly retaken control of the country and major cities. The U.S. Embassy is reportedly planning to withdraw all its staff within the next 72 hours, as the fall of Kabul—the nation's capital—to the Taliban appears to be imminent.
Attacking Biden, the House GOP shared a video clip on Twitter from a July 8 press conference in which the president argued that the Taliban takeover was not "inevitable."
"No, it is not," Biden quickly responded when asked by a reporter whether the Taliban's resurgence and renewed control of Afghanistan was "inevitable."
The president went on to assert that the U.S.-backed Afghan government has "300,000 well-equipped" troops. He said they were "as well-equipped as any army in the world."
"Against something like 75,000 Taliban. It is not inevitable," Biden said.
