Donald Trump has sparked fresh outrage in the UK after saying Nato troops stayed “a little off the front lines” during the war in Afghanistan.
Labour MP Emily Thornberry, the chair of the foreign affairs committee, called it an “absolute insult” to the 457 British service personnel killed in the conflict, while Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said: “How dare he question their sacrifice?”
Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty, who served in Afghanistan, said it was “sad to see our nation’s sacrifice, and that of our Nato partners, held so cheaply”.
The UK was among several allies to join the US in Afghanistan from 2001, after it invoked Nato’s collective security clause following the 9/11 terror attacks.
From the same Orange Turd Putin Boot Licker whom deferred military service in Vietnam several times.
How is that not the most based thing Trump has done?
Avoiding an unjust war of aggression for any reason should be commended, not criticised
Thanks for your insights Captain Bonespurs.
Let’s see how many knots Farage ties himself in trying to defend this latest nonsense
This man has never punched in the face.
And it’s a damn shame.
More bullshit spewing from that idiot’s mouth.
Draft dodging idiot*
Europe should have never gotten itself involved in US oil wars, article 5 be damned. In a way I am glad the veneer of civilty has been stripped from transatlantic relations, and we can stop bending backwards every time Washington farts.
Have they ever even evoked the article 5 of the defensive NATO alliance when they invaded Afghanistan?
