Nosedive in UK-US relations is another casualty of Afghanistan’s fall

Old Joe has really fucked things up when you've even lost the UK.

Ministers are becoming openly critical of Joe Biden after being left in the dark about major decisions

So much for the special relationship. As the Afghanistan crisis has unfolded, it has precipitated a high-speed deterioration in Anglo-American relations.

What began as a muted disagreement on whether it was right for the US to withdraw militarily has reached the point where UK government sources are openly briefing against President Joe Biden as the situation in Kabul worsens.



There have been days of British complaints that they do not know when Biden will pull the plug on the emergency airlift, and whether he will stick to the current 31 August deadline, despite promises made by the president that the airlift would continue until US citizens were “all out”.

Nosedive in UK-US relations is another casualty of Afghanistan’s fall​

Old Joe has really fucked things up when you've even lost the UK.

No harm no foul. The UK lost us a long time ago when they began laughing at our president and rejoicing when Biddum got back into office. Joe was, after all, one of "them." The Limeys can all go eat cake now.

The Brits have been wrong on so many issues for so long it's difficult to take them seriously.

They are the prime "Russia, Russia, Russia" criers, simply because THEY had problems with them, when all along anyone with half a brain knew that China was the real global threat. Now, a Hong-Kongless year later they are looking for any reason to kick up some dirt. Probably still upset that the U.S started the Quad and they weren't invited.

The Brits might start thinking about getting their intel in order and stop trying to play both sides.

If we're not careful, even London's Islamic mayor may speak out!

IDK why we want to be associated with that dystopian rathole anyhow.

Anyplace where you can go to prison for saying the wrong words can't be that good.

The UK will be thinking twice next time they consider involving themselves with something like this.
