Those who once supported Biden and his leadership are now condemning his actions, which many say resulted in the Taliban takeover.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union\u2019s Foreign Policy Chief, Josep Borrell, has deemed the situation a \u201ccatastrophe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to ask ourselves some difficult question, understand why this was possible,\u201d he stated. \u201d Why what is happening, has happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Borrell criticized Biden for a comment surrounding the mission to the war torn country as Biden said the goal was never to \u201cnation build,\u201d though Borrell says this is arguable.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Afghan war veteran: Americans will remember Biden failed <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rz2p0mU00Y\">https:\/\/t.co\/rz2p0mU00Y<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CSinclairtv?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CSinclairtv<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OANN?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OANN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 One America News (@OANN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OANN\/status\/1430288744590938115?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>China has also reportedly condemned America as a \u201cweak power\u201d in light of what has occurred with China\u2019s state media suggesting that if the Chinese were to invade Taiwan, the U.S. would likely do nothing to stop it. This portrayal, along with the Chinese military reportedly conducting recent military exercises near Taiwan, is an effort to make the U.S. look \u201cunreliable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, you look at this exercise as you put it in the context of the Chinese allowing state media to issue reports basically saying that the U.S. would abandon Taiwan just as fast as it would abandon Afghanistan,\u201d explained Roger Baker, Senior Vice President of Strategic Analysis at Stratfor. \u201cAnd the Chinese are able to try to use that to shape perception\u2019s in Taiwan that there is no path forward for independence and they ought to rethink their relationship with the mainland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite these criticisms, Biden has stood by his decision stating the withdrawal was necessary though thousands of lives are at risk. Due to the crisis in Afghanistan and the coronavirus pandemic, Biden struggles to maintain approval among Americans. He dropped below 50 percent in a recent NBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/08\/24\/bidens-approval-ratings-plummet-bad-news-for-democrats-in-congress.html\">poll<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As his ratings sink, reports say Democrats\u2019 ability to hold their slim majority in Congress could be swayed as they had largely aimed to use Biden\u2019s public approval to their advantage, which is reportedly at it\u2019s lowest point since he took office.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mccarthy-calls-on-democrats-to-stand-up-to-taliban\/\">McCarthy Calls On Americans To Stand Up To The Taliban<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden speaks about Afghanistan from the East Room of the White House, Monday, Aug. 16, 2021, in Washington.
