Ideally he would arm himself, preferably with a fully automatic gun, and head down to Dover to sort them out, but on the way get arrested with no fuss and nobody hurt.

Just think how long wed be free of him.

Taleban just want the freedom to set their own rules and laws. What next they will be wanting to trade with the world. Freeports?

The USA is having a political frenzy now. Oh God what shall we do - we might not get elected next time - Oh I know blame Biden. The other lot - this is great.

One managed to get it a little more correct - all of those trained troops took of their uniforms and ran away. After a bit of fighting - he didn't mention that. He did mention that they could just walk into several cities as a result.

Leaving Vietnam went well didn't it. Similar situation. A no can win completely.

 

[Brigade77]

WOW. All of those expert epidemiologists are now suddenly expert military strategists . . . .

 

[transam]

Vietnam is not quite the same IMO

plus this Afghan caper was a NATO
Deployment

pretty much sums up how useless
European nato members are
With out the yanks

Leave, yes. Probably an over exaggeration i.e. 'many millions'. But there will be refugees. Some may even end up in the UK.

I wonder if we should accept Afghan citizens who worked with the British Army as interpreters or guides

or perhaps we should leave them to have their throats slit.

for some it is already too late

Which approach will help us more, next time we go to a foreign country where squaddies don't speak the language?

Macron & Merkel think they could do just fine without Nato, although laughably they were the first to do one on their toes in this caper.

European Army? ******g idiots.

Germans had 150000 troops through the place over 20 years

German contingent got out in July

don’t think any of the Germans were combat troops

afai recall they only agreed to send troops to serve in non combat areas

Spanish did a runner years ago

Romanian contingent were last seen crossing the border into Russia with a load of carpets

the Dutch well yes exactly

remember the balkans and Kosovo

Germany has a policy of not sending armies to fight wars in foreign countries.

unless as part of Nato if Europe invaded by Putin.

Apart from WW1 and WW2 natch. Although to be fair, they did lose both.

 

[Android 07]

IS THIS A JOKE?

Boris & co want everyone from HongKong to come round.
Apparently 20,000 Syrians have come in the last 7 years.
God knows how many Iraqis have come as well.
Iranians arrive by boat everyday.
And, now, he wants 25,000 Afghans to come ?

Better to arm with a hatpin to puncture their dinghies before the enter your territorial waters.
