UK Deployment in Afghanistan - Biden Era


Lets Get Real:

One assumes the military strategy is justified in sending OUR troops back, one can not see why the Embassy staff can not leave on civilian flights or special aircraft sent to get them, the Embassy has been clear to those UK citizens  remaining in Afghanistan that it was time to leave.  Of course the UK has a moral responsibility to those that have worked for the UK over 20 years to get them out, the hard part will come when the flights are leaving and refugees start turning up at the Airport, Saigon 1975 all over again!! Also the Taliban will want to be seen as pushing the Allies out, thus one can expect some action on that front, it would be foolish mistake by the Taliban, the US and the UK have the power to stop them in their tracks.   But then the Taliban have shown they do not care about human life, thus attacks can be expected.  The UK should have gone it alone, and remained in Kabul and Afghanistan, but then we  always needs the Americans, and they, well POTUS wanted out, thus the disaster that is Afghanistan.
