* Tony Blair has branded Joe Biden's decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan 'imbecilic'

* Ex-prime minister said Britain has a 'moral obligation' to stay until 'all those who need to be are evacuated'

* Mr Blair warned Boris Johnson manner of US exit indicated UK could be relegated to second-power status

* President wants evacuations done by end of August - forcing UK to wrap up its operation at the same time

===========================================================================

Tony Blair has blasted Joe Biden's 'imbecilic' decision to withdraw US troops from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, calling the President's 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 UK troops to the Middle Eastern country 20 years ago following the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington DC, 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.

Speaking to Sky News on Sunday, Mr Blair said he has 'enormous respect' for Mr Biden, but suggested the President - who campaigned on a slogan of ending 'forever wars' and is likely to be keeping an eye on next year's midterms - had withdrawn US troops for domestic political reasons.

If Biden continues this insane path it won’t be long before democrat citizens feel they’d be better off with Trump too.

Then maybe the lying Brits shouldn’t have stabbed and undermined Trump with fabricated GCHQ and 5 eyes Bullcrap starting even before the 2016 election.
And they have no excuse. They knew Biden was a lying plagiarizing unethical lowlife decades ago.

Perfidious Albion...

Blair is way beyond Deep State. He was carrying on an affair with Murdoch’s Chinese wife. Terrible human. He is right (broken clock) that Biden is an imbecile but literally wrong about everything else, and always has been.

Joe may be an imbecile, but that requires an IQ of at least 26. That’s better than a lot of people who vote Democrat.

During every presidential election, the mainstream media produces a story that says world opinion favors the Democratic candidate. My response to that is, “Big deal, if the animal kingdom could vote, the Green Party candidate would be our next president!” Remember the YouTube video that showed Ralph Nader trying to get advice from a parrot?
