The US withdrawal from Afghanistan was wrong and based on an "imbecilic" slogan, former PM Tony Blair has said.
He described the decision to withdraw troops from the country as "tragic, dangerous and unnecessary".
Mr Blair, who sent troops into Afghanistan 20 years ago, said UK involvement in Afghanistan was not a "hopeless endeavour" despite the Taliban takeover.
And the sacrifice made by British troops "was not in vain", he added. Mr Blair said achievements in the country over the past 20 years - including a generation growing up without Taliban rule - was a "good cause" that "matters today,
He said the Taliban "will give protection and succour to Al Qaeda - you've got Isis trying to operate in the country at the same time".
"You look round the world and the only people really cheering this decision are the people hostile to Western interests," he added.

And on top of that, sack this country with hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees that will not assimilate.
This is a nightmare, and he won’t be removed so this treason will continue AND to top it off absolutely NOTHING is being done about the compromised election process, so they will be elected and reelected one election year after another.
Apparently they didn't wan to - - took them all of 11 days to surrender.
Leaving people to their own fate isn't losing... but doing it in Biden's style should be a crime against humanity.
Biden's Commander in Chief - - if it was possible Biden should be court-martialed ...
Why is the media innocent in all of this. For months Afghanistan was falling one province at a time to the Taliban pouring across the Pakistan border like the Germans through the French border in WW2. When Bagram was abandoned and airstrikes stoped why didn’t the press cover what was happening on the ground? When all the State Department analysts said the country would fall quickly why didn’t the press cover this months ago? The Generals in the DOD knew they needed to send more troops and did they give in to Biden and Blinkin at State and refuse to go public at what they knew was coming? Did they tell Biden to reverse course and he ordered them to stand down? The media did not cover any of this and it was happening over the last 7 months, where they all complicit? The CIA surely knew what was going to happen and they let it? No wistle blowers because they are all woke or are being hidden from the media? Is the entire government full of fools and idiots? Nobody quit or was fired so are they are all in on it not just Biden!!!!! The media said and did nothing to look at what was coming and did they not report anything to cover for Biden until it blew up in all their faces? One man is not responsible for this, it is the entire deep state, woke and complicit media, failed intelligence agencies, and nobody with any balls to say the shit is about to hit the fan and were afraid to speak up against the Biden fiasco because they want to save their pension? Biden made this happen but the idiots in government let him do it without a whimper. Where was the media when Afghanistan was crumbling? Was this all some DR. Evil sinister plan? What utter incompetence by media, government. Biden, everyone in power who had the obligation to speak up and prevent this absolute FUBAR dishonor and treason!!!!!! Come on man!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember Michael Savage saying that “liberalism is a mental disease.” Biden is proof that liberalism has driven him insane.
