consequence of a flawed policy that began in february 2020, i am afraid. but given that you are unimpressed by the trump deal to which you refer, the deal between the trump administration and the taliban back in early 2020, given that boris johnson and his government was government was facing, was anything really he or anyone else could have donein really he or anyone else could have done in the immediate situation to reduce the risk that paid out today? not once they had abandoned the effort. i think the british government is entirely dependent on what to us policy is, so i use —— i lay blame at the us and station. i think the decision to close the air base was a monumental mistake. we have got mistakes compounding upon mistakes. i understand it only had enough troops to maintain one airport and they decided for kabul.
