Nothing to see here, no equipment was left, it was a textbook withdrawal, according to Biden voters……

I wonder what document it was that Raab thought that quote was from?

He looks like he is crapping himself and then almost relieved when Tugendhat tells him.

Almost certainly. There is no special relationship and there shouldn’t be. We need to do what is right for the U.K. only….

Yet … the eu are nasty and bitter for doing what is best for the eu….?‍….. can’t have it both ways pete.

(I do appreciate it’s not the eu thread)

Oh he will do his best to try to - I mean he is valiantly trying to claim that Biden should have left a minimum amount of force there to back the Afghan army up whilst also criticising Biden for leaving twenty years worth of US military aid there when they left.

"according to Biden voters"

Well according to Trump voters they didn't storm the Capitol building despite the fact that they did. Biden has made a hash of a plan set in place by Trump and Pence (Pence who cosied up to the Taliban and probably offered a load of equipment as part of the exit package) but yeah it's all on Biden and those pesky 'woke' democrats.

here's an interesting piece on the equipment left behind. It's from the WaPo so Pete probably won't find any of it credible but it seems accurate to me.

Snopes calls BS on it as well. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/us-taliban-arsenal-military-equipment/

As soon as @dholliday posted that tweet from a very dodgy right wing source (disclose.tv) I had a feeling it was a load of overhyped nonsense.

Too young to remember the Suez debacle, but this has to be the biggest Foreign Policy disaster in out lifetimes.

Iraq is still far worse than this was.
