I Hope Biden (And Lickspittle Boris) Are Ashamed.

[Canary42]

I hope Biden (and lickspittle Boris) are ashamed of the terror they have unleashed on hundreds of innocent people in Afghanistan.

But somehow I doubt it (there's no oil in Afghanistan).

But we can be certain, as WTC and Manchester Arena showed, that the Taliban and their extremist supporters will soon be exporting it world-wide.

I don't blame Biden and Johnson, I blame Bush and Blair.

[emmie]

i too blame Bush and Blair for unleashing this on the world.
how many of those innocent people in Afghanistan are Taliban supporters, how many have we imported into the UK recently, what was the vetting procedure, or was there none, so we have no idea who made it out of Afghanistan to come here. documents can be forged, and so we could have members of the Taliban now in UK and not know it, when another bomb goes off what will you say to the victims families then.

[Jackdaw33]

Afghanistan is a hell-hole not worth the life of a single British soldier. The only criticism I have is that they failed to ensure that all those deemed at risk were not evacuated first.

[Jackdaw33]

^^ "were", not "were not"

[emmie]

agree it's a hell hole, and one we should never have invaded.

The Manchester arena bomber was a British citizen rescued from Libya by our own Royal navy, he wasn't a member of the taliban he was a Muslim extremist.

[emmie]

i did say when another bomb goes off, its likely to be another terrorist trying to undermine our democracy. It could well be someone we have imported from these third world countries. M16 say they have thwarted many plots to harm our country and it's citizens in recent months.

[johnk]

The terror has been caused by the Taliban and no other government. Why are we expected to protect a country that just wants to terrorise our own?

[bobbinwales]

Why mention there's no oil. If your saying oil is the reason for interfering / invading countries then if Afganistan as no oil why did we go in?

[dannyk13]

Canary's usual rubbish.

[emmie]

never responds either, strange that...........

[sevenOP]

Canary42 - "(there's no oil in Afghanistan).

"Afghanistan harbours around 1.6 billion barrels of crude oil, 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and another 500 million barrels of natural gas liquids....That's according to the 2019 Afghan report, which cited a joint U.S.-Afghan assessment"

Keep an eye on Pakistan.

[grumpy01]

I have read that a British trained Afghan sniper has been executed by the Taliban,in front of his wife and children.How can a doddery old man and a serial liar run the two biggest countries in the free world.

[grumpy01]

These cases will come thick and fast thanks to these two.

[dannyk13]

Grumpy, do you honestly believe that we could have left troops in Afghanistan after Biden withdrew the US forces?

[Hopkirk]

Danny is right. There is no 'special relationship' at the moment.

[emmie]

no we couldn't have stayed, not enough British soldiers were there to hold Kabul airport. So once the Americans said they were going then we had no choice but to follow suit.

[grumpy01]

No Danny but the French and other countries had started getting their people out months ago because they knew this was coming, seems as though UK and USA didn’t understand that when push came to shove the Afghan army would capitulate

[dannyk13]

Grumpy// because they knew this was coming,//
Indeed, but Biden took a unilateral decision as to when the US forces would leave and you can't blame Boris for having to follow suit. The blame for what is happening in Afghanistan lays squarely on Biden.
