INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
US President Joe Biden claimed in a Saturday Washington Post Op-Ed that the Middle East is more &stable and secure& than when he took
office.The Middle East I&ll be visiting is more stable and secure than the one my administration inherited 18 months ago,& Biden wrote.His
comments come despite the decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan, which was followed by the collapse of the former government
and take over by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA). But in response to his comments, K.T
McFarland, deputy national security adviser to former president Donald Trump spoke with Fox News Digital in response to Biden&s op-ed,
calling America&s withdrawal from Afghanistan &shambolic.Our shambolic withdrawal from Afghanistan has turned out to be the turning point in
America&s position in the world. Ever since, our friends no longer trust us, and our adversaries no longer fear us,& McFarland
said. Biden inherited a Middle East that had just concluded an historic peace agreement between Israel and Sunni Arab nations
Iran was economically devastated because of sanctions and low oil prices
The maximum pressure campaign on Iran was working & they would have soon had no choice but to stop their support of terrorist movements, and
cease their nuclear weapons program and sue for peace on our terms
ISIS was defeated, its butcher leaders dead.McFarland also said that Biden will soon find that the Middle East has &moved on.The Arabs and
Israelis continue to build momentum of the Abraham Accords, despite Biden&s best efforts to sabotage it. Iran will have deliverable
nuclear weapons by the end of Biden&s term
The Saudis, whom Biden has publicly disavowed, will have little incentive to get him out of the oil shortages he has created,& McFarland
says.On July 8, 2021, almost two months before the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan took control of Afghanistan, Biden said that an IEA
takeover of the country wasn''t likely.Biden however mentioned Afghanistan once in the Op-Ed, but did not discuss the withdrawal of American
troops from the country.Biden&s Op-Ed comes less than a week before his first trip to Saudi Arabia since becoming President.The post Biden
says ME more ‘stable, secure&; critic points out ‘shambolic& withdrawal first appeared on Ariana News.
