Cable Forum - View Single Post - Parliament to be recalled re: Taliban in Afghanistan

Ach Andrew I'd not worry about the detail. We're (not on a personal level, I'm invoking that to represent the United Kingdom) an irrelevance on a global stage. They'd only be asking if we could get the United States to do something and the bold Biden has gone full Don "America First".

As we followed America in like a lap dog we are racing them out like a greyhound. We've no vested interest in Afghanistan. We didn't 20 years ago either, but as long as the incoming terrorist training camps admire the fact we tried we should be fine.

It's funny listening to those scared of the war on wokery suggesting people stay in Afghanistan to fight the Taliban.

I mean, it might have been easier had we not armed them to the teeth.

As I said earlier if they rationally decide to bomb us I'm not sure that'd be entirely unexpected.
