Exclusive: Former U.K. Commander in Afghanistan Blasts Biden’s ‘Insane’ Foreign Policies Leading to Ukraine Conflict

Breitbart  "In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Thursday in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan Colonel Richard Kemp blasted President Biden’s “insane foreign policies,” including the U.S.’s “humiliation” in Afghanistan, its increasing oil dependence on Moscow, and its obsession with “gender pronouns, political correctness, environmentalism,” as he called to support Ukrainian resistance, depose President Putin, and withdraw support for an Iran nuclear deal, and

warned of the increasing Chinese threat. . . .

. . .“In 2014, when Putin invaded Crimea, [former President Barack] Obama was in the White House,” Kemp said. “Now in 2022 when he invades Ukraine, Biden’s in the White House.” 

“ 'So, we’ve got two weak presidents who [Putin] clearly feels he can act without regard to their reaction,” he added. “So I think that’s one reason why this is happening now.”

"Another factor in the current conflict, according to Kemp, is the “closely connected debacle in Afghanistan” whereby Putin likely saw “what Biden did in Afghanistan, the humiliation of the United States, [and] the humiliation of NATO — who were unable to do anything in Afghanistan” without America.

“ 'He would have looked at that and made his calculations and I think that if anything that encouraged him to do what he’s doing now,” he said. 
Other elements he cited were the longstanding European and German policies vis-a-vis Russia.". . .

Yeah, well just how many Grammys has Col Kemp won?  I didn't think so.

"Kemp pointed to the restart of the Iran nuclear deal talks that aided the current conflict.

“ 'I think the Iran deal negotiations are another example of Biden’s insane foreign policies that resulted in Afghanistan [and] that helped result in the Ukrainian situation,” he said. “And his misguided policies over Iran will help make the world a more dangerous place.” 

“ 'To have Russians who have been threatening us with nuclear attack involved as mediators over this deal with Iran is just the parallel universe,” he added. “People would find it unbelievable if they really understood it.”

"Kemp called on other members of the Security Council involved in the negotiations to “withdraw their support.” 

“'If [Biden] wants to keep pressing on with it, fine, but we shouldn’t be supporting it,” he said. “I think his whole rationale for doing it is completely ill-judged and has no basis in reality.' ”
