UK Talking to Taliban, Blames Trump, Not Biden, for Afghanistan Chaos
Breitbart ^ | 08/16/2021 | Oliver JJ Lane

The UK government has been talking to the Taliban through an intermediary and a pathway for the hardline Islamist terror group to be recognised as the government of Afghanistan exists, the defence secretary has said, as he defended President Joe Biden’s handling of the withdrawal.

British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace spoke to several UK broadcast networks on Monday morning amid emerging scenes of chaos and violence in Afghanistan and Britain’s re-committal to a group of Air Assault Brigade troops to the country to protect efforts to expatriate both UK passport holders and Afghan interpreters coming to Britain.

And so the world-wide circling of the wagons begins. It wouldn’t surprise me to have Congress produce impeachment charges against Trump, this time for Afghanistan. And the American people, by and large, will buy into it or not care enough to give a damn.

Yeah. For them World War 2 was caused by the stubborn attitude of Poland.

Boris Johnson and Netanyahu were the first foreign leaders to congratulate Potato Joe on his “win.”

That’s exactly how the Brits felt. They were upset that the Poles torpedoed a deal with the Russians because it basically would have meant the Soviets getting eastern Poland.

The Brits appear to have gone full Neville Chamberlain on us..

Defending Biden, Bashing Trump and negotiating with the Taliban on a “path” to recognize their government....you think they’ve turned French on us.....

Yep. Less than 30 probly.

Makes one wonder if this is being done deliberately. Biden and psaki disappear at the worst moment possible???

Also this has obamas stink all over it

The scope of the forces aligned against President Trump was shocking.

He really was a man on an island.

How could people THIS INCOMEPTENT steal an election with fraud this massive?

About the ONLY thing they are proficient at is fraud.

Except.... maybe the real puppet masters wanted things to go this way. What is the strategery?

Generally I favor conspiracy theories, but it is good to keep in mind that when truly incompetent folks are decision-makers, chaos theory kicks in...mistakes compound on each other in lighting fast fashion, and even the best laid plans of puppet-masters get buried in the ashes.

Trump would have gotten us out of there in an orderly fashion in May when the Taliban was still holed up after the winter, but there was no fixing Afghanistan. This was a disaster from the get-go.

Wondering how long before the St Andrew’s Cross is ripped from the UK flag, so as not to annoy their new overlords. Should be about in 1-2 years.

“when the Taliban was still holed up after the winter”

Saw a retired general on the news this morning that said that very thing. Pulling out now was the exact WORST time to do so.

Which makes me wonder if this decision was by design.

This has obamas stink all over it.
