“We will repair our alliances and collaborate with the world once again,” President Biden promised in his inaugural address on January 20th. He announced on February 4: “America is back. Diplomacy is once again at the heart of our foreign policy. “
Despite such strong promises that it would rekindle US alliances, Biden’s initially senseless, now fatal, Afghan catastrophe has atomized U.S. international ties as if it were with a MOAB, especially with America’s best friends in the world. ‘foreigner.
Biden has ravaged the special relationship of the United States with the United Kingdom.
The United States and the United Kingdom have been BFFs since the memory of the war of 1812 soon faded. America and Britain jointly defeated Kaiser Wilhelm II, Adolf Hitler, heirs of Josef Stalin, and Al Qaeda & Co. .
Biden also inherited the cordiality that President Donald J. Trump enjoyed with Prime Minister Boris Johnson. This pair of skinny, crazy conservatives with spectacular blond hair shared an endearing big brother / little brother atmosphere and a productive, upbeat relationship. Trump had a successful visit to the UK just before the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Queen Elizabeth II gave him a warm welcome.
Biden broke all of this on his hesitant knee.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan revealed this about Biden on August 17, three days after the Kabul implosion: “He has not yet spoken to any other world leader.” The Biden shutdown included Prime Minister Johnson, who repeatedly called Biden and was not called or removed for 36 mind-boggling hours. In fact, Biden received Johnson’s call about three hours after Sullivan’s embarrassing admission.
How convenient.
Biden’s failure to communicate with the United Kingdom passed into the U.S. Army. As Steve Swinford reported in The London newspaper The Times, “Senior [British] military commanders have also not been involved in key debates between the U.S. and the Taliban, so they were left in the dark about when they might be forced out. “
The bipartisan rage that runs through the waves hurts the ears of Americans who love Britain as much as the mouths of the British who love the United States must suffer.
“The abandonment of Afghanistan and its people is tragic, dangerous, unnecessary, not for their interests or ours,” former British Labor Prime Minister Tony Blair wrote on 21 August. ”Blair added. He noted that Biden was retreating in obedience to an imbecile political slogan about ending “wars forever.” . . We did it with all the jihadist groups around the world cheering. “
A British cabinet minister told The Times anonymously: “The United States is still by far our most important ally, but we are not the most important ally of the United States to some extent.”
Another minister said: “The United States had to be dragged into shock and shouting at World War I. They came late to World War II, and now they are cutting and operating in Afghanistan.”
This rare Anglo-American tension fueled by Biden has even infected U.S. and British ground forces in Afghanistan.
“The Allies were not informed in advance of the accelerated withdrawal and were blinded when the Americans left Bagram Air Base under cover of darkness,” British journalist Tim Marshall of Reaction reported on Sunday.
Later, according to Marshall, “a fiery row” broke out between a senior officer of the 2nd Battalion of the United Kingdom Parachute Regiment and a top commander of the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States.
“May. General Christopher Donahue, of 82nd Airborne, ordered the British officer to cease operations outside the perimeter fence of the airport as it was embarrassing the US military and infuriating the Taliban, “Marshall reported.” Allegedly, the conversation ended when the major general was called a “bastard” by a British major and the British officer told the American that “fail!”
Joe Biden ruined the best friendship in the United States in record time.
Seven months less, 41 months to finish.
