It just didn't seem very diplomatic of Judith Collins.
Why does the Western World have such a very hard time understanding that the Prime Minister voluntarily left the country. He didn't want to be Prime Minister anymore. He only wanted to be Prime Minister because of the continued hand-outs of the USA government.
Biden went on about all the money the USA poured into Afganastan. Giving them a air force. But the Afganastan troops were...
Mercenaries.
That's what you call people who fight for the highest bidder? Right? And then when the money stops and people...
Fight for what they believe in.
Or flee.
They chose to flee.
So.
What you going to do?
I think Biden is being the 'bigger man' (not saying that anybody else is not as big as him). I mean to say I think he is being 'big'. He is doing the right thing. There never was a good time to withdraw the troops. The best time likely was promptly after they got Bin Laden.
