Responding to a reporter who asked if a Taliban takeover in Afghanistan was “inevitable,” Biden replied at a July 8 press conference, “No, it is not, because there the afghan troops have 300,000 well-equipped — as well-equipped as any army in the world — and an air force against something like 75,000 Taliban. It is not inevitable.”

He added in remarks to another reporter, “The mission hasn’t failed — yet. … The question is, can there be an agreement on unity of purpose? What is the objective? For example, it started off, there were going to be negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan National Security Forces and the Afghan government. That didn’t come to — didn’t come to fruition. So the question now is: where do they go from here? The jury is still out. but the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.”
