Friends\u201d host Ainsley Earhardt opened the segment with a question about Afghanistan and whether or not foreign actors like Russia and China might have seen the botched withdrawal and taken notes for possible later action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s talk about\u00a0the Defense Department\u2019s annual report, because it is saying that Biden\u2019s fumbled withdrawal from Afghanistan was a propaganda gift to China,\u201d she said, asking, \u201cDo you agree with that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I do not,\u201d Kirby responded. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t know that that\u2019s the Pentagon\u2019s assessment that it was a propaganda gift to China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kirby went on to assert that the American efforts to evacuate Afghanistan \u2014 amid the collapse of its government and the resurgence of the Taliban \u2014 should be held up as an example of success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf anything, nations like China and Russia took a look at what we did in Afghanistan, and we\u2019ve talked about this many many times over the last year, and had to marvel at the speed, the efficiency, and effectiveness that a very small number \u2014\u201d Kirby continued, but Kilmeade interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, please,\u201d the Fox News host responded, clearly exasperated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2014 A very small number of troops, Brian, you listen to me now, hear me out,\u201d Kirby pressed on, adding, \u201cA small number of troops were able to move that many Afghans safely out of that country. No other nation in the world can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But as Army veteran Alex Plitsas explained to The Daily Wire, the question was not whether or not a small number of American troops were capable of executing impossible missions \u2014 and quickly. The issue, rather, was whether a hasty withdrawal would have been necessary if different strategic choices \u2014 such as keeping Bagram Air Base open or attempting to evacuate allies prior to abandoning all military strongholds \u2014 had been made earlier by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Plitsas has worked for months on an operation known as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/we-are-not-done-digital-dunkirk-organizer-blasts-trevor-noah-over-afghan-evacuation-joke-while-people-are-still-stranded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Dunkirk<\/a>,\u201d using military and civilian connections to help evacuate Americans and Afghan allies from the country as more and more of them are threatened by the Taliban.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe evacuation operation in Kabul was a tactical success and a strategic failure,\u201d he said. \u201cYes, the military was able to rapidly deploy and move people. The problem was that it largely wasn\u2019t the people that we intended to evacuate and we left nearly 200,000 people who we made promises to as a nation.
