British officials are reportedly concerned that the U.S. could withdraw from Kabul airport any time, leaving other countries in the lurch as the world scrambles to get out of Afghanistan.In a sign of deep distrust between the close allies, British commanders were left wondering whether the U.S. would leave without forewarning them.Sources told The Guardian that they could not guarantee how long the U.S. would keep its contingent of 6,000 troops on the ground and cautioned that the UK could not continue the rescue without their presence. The U.K. currently has 900 troops in Afghanistan,

The Brits concern is probably related to the prospects of a hostage situation developing that would involve US or British troops. Biden the cheater has probably issued a standing order to bug out again if the troops come under tollybon attack. And the Brits got wind of this. Just supposing.

The President is going to have a 'Mission Accomplished' moment. He's going to leave thousands of Americans behind. The media will not cover any of this.

I'm sure there are MI-6 and Mossad reports on this situation and Biden that would make for interesting, if frightful, reading.

To tell the Brits what he's doing next, President Vegetable would have to know himself what he's doing next.

I remember when Biden stole the election, Boris was so happy to have Biden over Trump. The U.K. can burn in h3ll for all I care. Boris better learn to live with this for the next 3 years. Bottomline, after this mess, NO ally will trust us again. They now know that Biden/Harris are dangerous and will get their people killed. Our military has gone woke instead of doing what they should be doing. Austin along with Milley should be fire immediately. However, our congress and senate have no backbone to take any action necessary. My guess who is behind all this mess.....Obama, Jarrett, and Rice.

Biden's closest ally is either China or Soros. It is quite evident he has no allegiance to America nor Democracy; Capitalism...forgetit!

Biden pretty much said what the Brits are concerned about. He's not going to stick around, it took coaxing from Stephanopolis to get to the point where Biden said they'd stay, but then he make a slight comment that defied that...
Lets face it, Biden isn't in charge, he has no idea of what is going on. We are being controlled by globalists, deepstaters and china.

This is most likely not appropriate but the man the world hated, protected them and would have moved heaven and hell to prevent this kind of humanitarian crisis, let alone leave any troops in danger. Well, these Trump haters got what they wanted. They wanted him removed from the world’s stage. A couple questions to these fools, any regrets?? Do you miss the guy that had the guts to stare down evil and call it by name? Now look what you have to rely upon, absolutely nothing. You are on your own. The globalist overlords you worship will leave you high and dry when it matters the most. Your safety and security is of no consequence to these people. All they want is power and they will do anything to seize and keep it.
Circulate a smiling picture of President Trump across the globe with the caption, Miss me yet? The difference one man can make can be the difference between life and death.

You folks give way too much credit to obama being behind this mess. Why would he be..?? He's got his money, living large...so why in the world would he be involved in running biden?? Makes no sense. This mess is entirely the fault of the people we currently have running the govt....period. At the end of the day it is biden and the people around him who make these decisions...and when they are wrong it is entirely on them.

There is an upside to this calamity. Expect a couple of movies to be made about terrifying escapes from Afghanistan for those left behind. No movies for those who simply vanish.

Why would the Brits be in such haste to speak to the senile old dumb coot, Joe Biden. That wouldn't change a thing Biden doesn't know what day of the week it is and if it's a teleconference how do they know it's not a photoshopped version of the CIC Mr. Tough Guy himself? Don't worry about Biden just work out of your disaster as best you can.

I'm happy President Trump called into Greg Kelly last night... it was wonderful hearing a REAL President talk about HIS plan to leave Afghanistan AFTER he got our citizens out and After he had destroyed all our sensitive military equipment...the stolen election was contrived with the DC establishment and ____...let's fill in the blank...

If the Brits are just now beginning to fear, they haven't been paying attention.

Unfortunately for the British, they have drawn down their professional armed forces to the point where they must depend upon USA support to be able to carry out any substantial military operation around the world. They are still not used to that fact. To become military relevant again obviously the UK must again build up their armed forces.
In the last couple of days and nights the British SAS and elements of the 2nd Battalion, of the British Parachute Regiment reportedly moved out of Kabul Airport in vehicles to Kabul City, before the Taliban knew what was happening, and rescued their diplomatic staff and other Brits. Who are now flying back to the UK. If that is true that was an accomplishment. The British have grounds to fear Biden quickly pulling the 7,000 US troops out the Kabul Airport and Afghanistan with no notice at anytime. Placing that many US troops in an landlocked Afghan airport 800 miles from the ocean could put those troops in danger. The Taliban has already surrounded that airport and the US troops depend on that airport remaining open for their logistical support purposes. What if the Taliban turned off all the electrical power and aircraft fuel lines to the airport, well first the General’s air conditioning would not work, and anyone who has spent time in the military knows that would be a top priority problem to solve. What the British know is without adequate logistical support those 7,000 US troops could not stay at that airport for very long because, besides that, what if the Taliban starts firing artillery into the airport from highly populated areas of Kabul city, stopping aircraft from landing and taking off. Maybe the immediate answer is to do an airborne assault on Bagram airbase, recapture it, and withdraw all the American troops from Kabul Airport to the much more easily defended Bagram airbase?

Apparently Biden didn’t consult or inform any NATO ally about this precipitate withdrawal. The UK and France, among others, have been heavily involved in Afghanistan and Biden left them in the lurch. So much for expert on international affairs.
There are reports that French and British soldiers are canvassing the country in an attempt to get their citizens out of danger. Out military is telling our citizens to get to the airport on their own. Not a time to be proud of our “leadership.”
