7:19 pm
clearly and bluntly that this has been a huge political and ideological defeat for the american empire, for nato and for their lives. and it will bring hope on that level too many others who are still struggling like in palestine and other parts of that. this is possible, this can be done. and that is the principal reason. in my opinion, why there are so many saw faces. because normally when you bring a war to and then you shouldn't be given some credit for it, and i think biden is absolutely right to have decided to withdraw from i've gone this, it was a war that was going know where it was a war that it wasted koreans. it was a war in which the emily people who benefited one of the large corporations linked
7:20 pm
to the military, industrial complex of the united states and out of the way. and it's a war that have to be ended for the sake of the people. there was no other alternative mean biden is right. the and the other alternative was to send more troops get down with no guarantee whatsoever that they were going to win the war. so it's a huge to beat politically, an ideologically, and that should not be for about the fact that the liberal media in europe and elsewhere is moaning, is because they got it wrong. they told they could win the war, were some of us predicted. this was a war that wouldn't be one, it will never be one interesting thing here is that the united states knew best decade ago. they had the intelligence who were some cases very clear that were gone when the wall. so the question that should be asked to buy another american leaders
7:21 pm
is not why did you pull out that? why did you take so long to pull out and do you not realize what a mistake it was going in there? in the 1st place? the answer, the question that should be posed that are not being posed by most of the networks, like the b, b, c, c. and then there are others actively attacking by them for pulling out without giving any reason or explaining what the alternative was. it's the total collapse of the this thing government which betrayed the illusion of western politicians and their favorite media outlets. it's nothing else because they were committed to it. they actually began to believe the untruths that they have been peddling for 20 years. so it's a defeat on many, many levels for the united states, and we have to learn the lesson. us president joe biden is offering federal help to
