Tony Blair has blasted US President Joe Biden's 'imbecilic' decision to withdraw American troops from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, calling the scuttle 'tragic, dangerous and unnecessary' and claiming the move had 'every Jihadist group round the world cheering'.
Mr Blair, who was in Downing Street when London sent British troops into the Middle Eastern country 20 years ago following the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington - said Britain has a 'moral obligation' to stay until 'all those who need to be are evacuated'.
In a 2,700 article on the threat of 'radical Islam', the former British prime minister said the exit was not in the West or Afghanistan's interest as he lamented the likely reversal of gains made during the occupation, with the Taliban reasserting itself across most of the country in recent days.
Mr Blair issued a stark warning to Boris Johnson that the manner of the US' handling of the exit indicated the UK could be relegated from the top division of international powers, with reports Britain was largely kept in the dark about when American armed forces would leave.
Relations between Britain and US are strained, with Defence Secretary Ben Wallace warning 'no nation will be able to get everyone out' of Afghanistan as Mr Biden's August 31 date makes the mission even more time-pressured, in what is likely to be seen as a plea to Washington.
Cabinet insiders have suggested the President was 'gaga' and 'doolally' for withdrawing so quickly, while the Prime Minister has allegedly privately referred to Mr Biden as 'Sleepy Joe', the nickname coined by Donald Trump. Mr Johnson also allegedly remarked Britain 'would be better off with Trump' - allegations branded 'categorically untrue' by Downing Street

What Britain needs to do is just retake Kabul, and kick US out!
F off, Limeys. You wanted Biden, you got him.
Exactly. I do not forget at all at at ALL, how those limey bastards wanted to ban Trump from even entering Britain and how they constantly protested him when he did enter, something they never did to Hussein or Biden
I hate to break it to the Brits but they’ve been a second rate international power for 30 years. The only thing that made them and the rest of Europe relevant on the international stage was Uncle Sugar and thousands of troops stationed there. Well, that’s pretty much gone now. I think it’s beginning to sink in that they’re all f*cked. But of course that crude and boorish orange haired bounder isn’t around to tell us things that were true but we’d rather not hear.
Took ‘em 7 months and 2 days.
I was done in the first week.
Idiot: IQ of 0-25
Imbecile: IQ of 26-50
Moron: IQ of 51-70
Relations with US are strained by all.
Bugsy Biden keeps white flag up at WH.
Tony Blair helped George W. Bush invade Iraq. (Blair was UK’s prime minister at the time.) So while it’s true that Biden is an imbecile, so is Tony Blair.
Ain’t that the truth! A year ago Blair was probably praising Biden.
Bugsy Biden keeps white flag up at WH.

Yep, Blair has a lot of nerve.
Tony Blair has blasted US President Joe Biden’s ‘imbecilic’ decision
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When will they quit bashing Joe and call it like it is ....... the cabal behind Biden.
You’d think the foreign powers and news outlets would want to know who’s really pulling the strings...... and then go after them
Sick of this game
So while it’s true that Biden is an imbecile, so is Tony Blair.

Whenever things deteriorate politicians distance themselves from the problem. All politicians. Its how they roll.
Big Media:
Foreign leaders attacking Trump = 24/7 news coverage in US
Foreign leaders attacking Biden = *crickets*
Joe Biden isn’t making these decisions. Who the hell is ?
