This is great news. A war that never should've happened. Even Republicans are supporting this move

Amazing news.

Still waiting for George W Bush and Tony Blair to be tried for war crimes.

It's about time we left this area after literally destroying it for the last two decades. A shame there will never be any punishment of US officials for inflicting this atrocity on the Middle East.

Good. It's been time.

Boris is supporting the withdrawal. Wouldn't hold out for war crimes though

You can get a lot of these answers in Biden's 2022 discretionary budget request.

I’m not surprised at all. Bojo is begging Biden for a trade deal and would say anything for this trade deal.

That plus the UK (and other NATO?) troops are totally reliant on the US bases and infrastructure in Afghanistan
