if you believe the data and I’m not sure it’s entirely correct far more Germana have has a stint in Afghanistan than U.K. soldiers despite the fact their absolute numbers of personnel is far less
So the USA invades the country and yet somehow it’s deflected onto the EU, wow.
On a serious note, all the countries involved should be doing what it can to take in refugees from the area, the situation over there is likely to get very nasty - it’s no good western countries just walking away and turning a blind eye to it.if you believe the data and I’m not sure it’s entirely correct far more Germana have has a stint in Afghanistan than U.K. soldiers despite the fact their absolute numbers of personnel is far less
Wasn’t there only 2 invading forces and anyone that followed was part of a NATO piece keeping force?
So 20 years of misery and death and all we’ve managed to achieve is create the perfect vacuum for a new terrorist cell to develop.
This is one thing Boris Johnson can’t be blamed for, guess Blair is the one with questions to answer… I may be completely wrong on that though, might have got my needless foreign wars mixed up
From what I can see you’re right- even a quick google shows that us & USA were the belligerents, along with something called the ‘NATO Resolute Support Mission’ made up from different countries including the EU

If we really want to be clever about this the two countries most responsible - Russia and China I doubt will be taking many refugees in and i suspect if they were then the Afghans will take their chances at home
Humanitarianism isn’t a competition. JFC.
no one is saying it is. Biden has pretty much said they must live with it and I do believe you allied yourself to Biden didn’t you?
I was wrong. Hes on holiday. Ffs

What are you on about you child?
What anyone else does has no bearing on our ability to act with moral clarity in a humanitarian crisis.
“Allied yourself with Biden”Yeah mate he’s just got back from signing the accord. You fucking lemon.
Wasn’t it Trump who started the withdrawal?Biden has declared there will be no fifth president who has to deal with Afghanistan - he’s closed the door - he won’t be taking in refugees - he wants out - own it you suck up to him day in day out
Calling me a child when yesterday you had a bizarre flounce called someone a sausage and boldly declared you are muting him - well it’s hardly a threat like the Taliban is it

Grendulls been on wiki to check again. Clearly it was just us and the US who invaded. That was certainly my memory of it and as I had two cousins in the British forces at the time and indeed part of the U.K./US coalition that invaded I was paying quite a bit of attention to what was happening at the time. Thanks for the confirmation that my memory was correct Grendull with your usual can’t argue the point so attack the messenger instead stance. Always confirmation that you were right in the first place.who needs historians and research - all we need is the Tonester Ring of Steel and Wiki
I agree that it was 20 years, but I don't see what the objective was. They went in there to get Bin Laden, they killed him years ago and kept moving the goalposts to justify staying when it was clear they could never fully defeat the Taliban. Yes the collapse of the government so shortly after withdrawal confirms the whole thing was a failure, but this was the 21st century Vietnam. They never really had a clear objective on account of the military industrial complex's influence on America's foreign policy and by extension ours.
We have already allied ourselves to the most extremist Islamic regime in the world in any case.

Afghanistan is always going to be geopolitically important

Are you OK?
I said Biden hasn’t got dementia and has generally been a decent president for people with a left wing economic agenda. That doesn’t mean I support every move he makes and it got less than fuck all to do with whether I think my country that I live in and that represent me should take in Afghani asylum seekers from a humanitarian crisis.
You sausage.
Forget that, are Right Said Fred on tonight?
im fine thanks and well as for Biden point scoring let’s take a look - you were bigging him up the other day?
Do you want to discuss boring politics?
So if they are thinking about making redundancies (which they are) then why not re-deploy existing staff to do the jobs of the temporary staff, if there is such a need to deal with a backlog of complaints? Depends on what those jobs being let go are. If you're earning a fair wage as an...www.skybluestalk.co.uk
I have to tread carefully or you might cry and threaten to mute me - how will I survive
You are a strange little man.
Back to the incel forums with you.
Looks like Rory Stewart called it right again
To think he was in the running for Tory leader and we ended up with Boris who has today said “Afghanistan can’t be a breeding ground for terrorists”. Too late Boris, the horse has bolted. Clueless prick.
Grendel, out of curiosity, did you used to sit in the family zone at the Ricoh?to be fair I’m sure you are far more familiar with their forums than me
British children in the audio or British and children I think.
It's literally Vietnam 2.0 for the USA
Grendel, out of curiosity, did you used to sit in the family zone at the Ricoh?
Well yes about 8/9 years ago when I was a young teenno did you
It's literally Vietnam 2.0 for the USA
