Says a lot that after twenty years they still needed "leadership and support" Just proves the whole affair was a colossal waste of time. These same British politicians now have much more senior roles in Government, and do yoy think they are going to forget the fiasco that was Afghanistan.īiden's actions were also condemned across Europe, including by Macron and Merkel, whilst Russia under Putin, as well as China and other US enemies, saw a weak America under Biden, which they could take advantage of. In response the UK Parliament stated that the Americans had thrown British and NATO forces under the bus, and that Biden had no right to criticise Afghan forces.
The Taliban merely moved down from the hills during what was now fighting season, only to be met be an Afghan Army without an proper leadership or support or even pay, and many Afghan Soldiers simply left to go back to their villages, as they feared for their families.īiden didn't consult with or even recognise the contribution made by NATO allies, nor did he come up with a strategy for a proper withdrawal. The Afghanistan Army and Security Services relied on Bagram Air Base for everything from weapons and annumition to air support, engineering repair, command right through to even being paid.īiden shut it down overnight, without telling anyone, including the Afghan Army and NATO allies.
