How Biden insulted Tajikistan
US President Joe Biden spoke in Pennsylvania on September 11. He explained to people why the evacuation of Americans and allies from Afghanistan did not go as smoothly as they would like. And during his speech, the head of the White House said the following:
Well, if we were in Tajikistan, we would arrive on a C-130 (US transport plane) and say: “We will allow, you know, everyone who sympathizes with us, to get on the plane,” then we would also see people who hang on the chassis.
Recall that photos and videos with the evacuation of people from Kabul in Afghanistan have spread all over the world and shocked the public. This is just about those on which people are depicted holding onto the landing gear of the plane when it was already taking off.
