Afghanistan -is leaving the right thing?

[Vinty]

Did you actually view what you posted?

Could you point out the bit where he said 'Britain should accept millions of Afghan refugees'?

In the full interview Rory was actually correct in saying we helped cause the current situation, and with other nations should accept the consequences...

40 nations should accept their share, and he is morally right...

Despite the protestations of the right wing loonies/brexiteers, the UK has one of the lowest intake of refugees!

I would expect Britain to lead an international effort… to work out how we can provide safe passage and asylum for Afghans who want to leave. But be in no doubt: we are talking about many many millions of people. And this is an entirely horrifying and unnecessary tragedy, but it’s a tragedy that we bear the responsibility for for the reckless actions of the last few weeks.

You need fear not vinty, brave ReganAndCarter said himself that he'd shoot any women and children that are struggling ashore.

No fear here.
Boris has erected a border between N. I. and GB.
If sausages and potato crisps can't get through it, i don't see how a refugee can.

Bidens legacy ?

his decision to preside over the abrupt with drawl of a relatively small number of US troops ( 2500)

versus the 50000 permanently stationed in South Korea

allowed a bunch of rag tag bunch of medieval Islamists to sweep back into power and undo 2 decades of progress in civil rights

He is a fool like trump

Also bear in mind that only 2500 nato troops were needed to keep these fruit cakes at bay

It is a repeat of Vietnam.
The only hope is, that like Vietnam after an initial period of turmoil the fanatics may become a little less fanatical.
Vietnam today is more open and friendly towards the west.
If the Americans have decided that using the big stick to moderate the behaviour of the Taliban hasn't worked, then the only alternative is to offer them some carrots to incentivise them to stop cutting peoples heads off and abusing women and girls.
If they isolate the new regime with sanctions then the Chinese and tge Russians could step in with wads of cash.

 

[transam]

Yep similar to Vietnam

diplomats shredding documents

troops evacuating nationals

president already fled the country

reports of bodies littering the streets of captured towns
Reports of beheadings and forced marriage while terrified woman go into hiding at the return of these bigots

Corruption abounds in the place

western tax payers were pouring billions into the pockets of the self serving rich

one ahfghan Vice President in 2009 was discovers with 52 million
Dollars in cash arriving in Dubai

they were milking the system and flow of funds

some US officials called it the biggest per capita fraud in history

an Ahfagan intel officer said half the US cash spent on security had been looted and embezzled

A Swedish aid agency said aid had become a crutch sustaining crooks and thieves

and who carry’s the can

the ordinary bloke and woman on the street whilst all those who should be put up against the wall
F off abroad with there stolen Ill gotten gains

Although they plan on withdrawing their forces they're still committed to air strikes and drone attacks. Lets see how it goes
first.

That is not an accurate quote of what he said.

Would you care to try again, and this time not misrepresent it, and quote properly, even though that will show that you were being untruthful when you claimed that he said "Britain should accept millions of Afghan refugees", or will somebody else have to do that for you?

And will you explain for the benefit of the forum why you thought you woud get away with making a false claim?

Oh, I see.

So you watched a video of Rory Sewart being interviewed, and listened to his actual words, and then decided to pretend that a misquoted misrepresentation done by somebody else was what he said.

What made you think you could get away with that?

Would you care to quote his actual words, especially the ones which unherd and you decided to omit? Or will somebody else have to do that for you?

Make no mistake, Vinty, you will not be able to cover up the fact that Rory Stewart neither said nor implied that "Britain should accept millions of Afghan refugees", nor that what you wrote in post #71 was untrue.

What is this the inquisition

who cares what this Stewart bloke said any way

millions of Afghans are or will be on walk about

 

[Captain Nemesis]

What is this the inquisition

No - its a quaint custom known as "caring about the truth". I guess its unfamiliar to you.

who cares what this Stewart bloke said any way

Vinty cares enough about it to post misleading, false versions of it.
