Erik Prince to Tucker: America has ‘shattered confidence’ of global allies amid Afghanistan disaster
Fox News
The Biden administration’s botched exit from Afghanistan has left a permanent stain on America’s credibility as a foreign ally, Blackwater founder Erik Prince told Tucker Carlson in the latest episode of Fox Nation’s "Tucker Carlson Today."
"For the President of the United States to be rebuked in the House of Parliament is the first time it's ever happened," he explained. "So we have shattered the confidence of our European allies and every other ally around the world that America depends, whether you're a CIA agent trying to recruit somebody to work for you or whether you're a country that America wants you to compete with – to side with us versus something that the Chinese want – it will definitely figure into people's thinking how quickly America abandoned its friends in Afghanistan and left in such a horribly chaotic and clumsy manner." Prince has spent years throughout his career overseeing special operations and even pitched plans to end America’s longest war to two presidents but was ignored. As the Taliban wasted no time taking control of Afghanistan post-withdrawal, Prince questioned the true strength of the U.S. military.More Related News
