The head of the British Armed Forces said they're collaborating with the Taliban so Kabul stays calm

The head of the British Armed Forces said they are working with the Taliban to keep Kabul calm and allow people to reach the airport.

General Sir Nick Carter, Chief of the Defence Staff, told "BBC Breakfast" on Wednesday that the UK was "collaborating" with the Taliban to keep peace in Afghanistan's capital city and allow people to reach the airport.

"It's fine at the moment. There is always the challenge that you could get a isolated terrorist incident. I think the thing that we're most worried about are the sort of disorder that might come through desperate Afghans trying to get to the airport," he said.

"And those images that we saw over the weekend of course will be in people's minds," he added.

that our allies are perturbed that Biden hasn't consulted with them on this pull out. But this means that the admin has been in touch with the Brits at least.

Ya never know what to believe nowadays, except that the MSM always seems to push the "Dems in disarray/Dems screwed up" scenario.
