Biden Gets Testy: ‘No, No, No’ the U.S. Won’t Be Responsible for the Potential Loss of the Afghan Civilian Lives

‘It’s up to the people of Afghanistan to decide what government they want’

TRANSCRIPT:

REPORTER : “Mr. President, will the United States be responsible for the loss of Afghan civilian lives that could happen after military exit?”

Biden: “No! No, no, no! It’s up to the people of Afghanistan to decide on what government they want, not us to impose the government on them. No country has ever been able do that. Keep in mind, as a student of history, as I’m sure you are, never has Afghanistan been a united country, not in all of its history, not in all of its history.”
