“The British position is we want to stay longer if it is possible to do so,” said U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace.But he said the 1,000 British troops at Kabul’s airport would be unable to keep up the operation when the much larger American contingent leaves.
“We call on all Afghan parties to reduce violence and agree on steps that enable the successful implementation of a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire and to engage fully with the peace process. In Afghanistan, a sustainable, inclusive political settlement is the only way to achieve a just and durable peace that benefits all Afghans,” the leaders said, without a hint of urgency.
Biden administration officials have refused to be pinned down about whether an extension is likely or even possible given the Taliban’s demand that all U.S. forces leave by the Aug. 31 deadline. Senior British military officers have expressed anger over the U.S. pullout, saying it exposes the hollowness of the trans-Atlantic “special relationship” — a phrase used since World War II to stress the bonds of history, friendship and shared diplomatic interests between London and Washington.
The Taliban can never be trusted for the promises it made and would soon turn violent as it use to be once it consoludates its seat in kabul.the worst is yet to come for America from Afghanistan.
Yea Because Biden has refused to keep spending billions of dollars in Afghanistan, money that will be better used for USA citizens . They can frown all they want

Failed worthless administration!!
Any ideas on why Afghanistan turned into such a disaster?
THREAD: Idk why everyone is so stuck on Afghanistan. He took on a responsibility that 4-5 other presidents couldn’t or refused to take on—KNOWING the harsh criticism and backlash that would come of it because of the fact that this Taliban takeover was inevitable no matter what.
Oh stop, with your pot stirring headlines!
Seems like the mainstream media is missing having a president who’s good for clickbait.
Where was the word crisis for the last 60 years
Nice propaganda
The difference one decision can make.
