    The UK abandoned the Afghans who helped them but South Korea (a much smaller country) was able to get all nearly 400 Afghans who helped them out safely. When they arrived to Korea there were all given housing and jobs. If they can do that there is no way that the UK couldn't handle it.

    We had a student where I used to teach who collapsed and blacked out on his way to class.
    We were then told that he was suffering from PTSD after his entire village was slaughtered by the Taliban he hid and survived. It took two years to make his way across Europe to the UK and at the first time that he felt safe and settled, all the trauma caught up with him. And none of them get any mental health support.

      The Afghan military and Police for the large part couldn't or wouldn't stand up for democracy or a united Afghanistan. Effectively it's been a coup in Afghanistan, that's been welcomed by many of its electorate.
      Ukraine is fighting an external oppressor that has illegally invaded, violating at least two treaties where the USA and the UK amongst others made guarantees to Ukrainian security.

The British military actually withdrew in July 2021 and then returned in August for "op pitting" to assist with the evacuation of embassy staff, contractors and roughly 15,000 Afghan civilians. It's true that without American forces NATO countries would never have been able to remain. The only reason violence was fairly low since 2020 was because of the American/Taliban peace talks which part of the agreement was for all US and NATO forces would leave by the April 2021 which was extended to September.. if western forces didn't leave the peace talks would have ended and the war would more likely than not escalated, as Britain had under 1000 troops in Afghanistan would mean redeploying and prolonging an already drawn out war.

    My friend’s sister has recently fostered a boy from Afghanistan. He is 14, he lost his family when the Taliban took them away, he doesn’t know where they are. In Afghanistan he met up with another group of kids who walked for a year to get to England. She says he is the sweetest and politest boy imaginable but he is terrible traumatised and just wants his mum and dad. Luckily there are some people in England who have compassion and want to help but clearly not Paul. 😡

    I love to hear a caller schooled by another caller.
    Of course we couldn’t stay there once the yanks left. Nevertheless we owed the afghans a duty of care for the assistance they gave.

      We are under no obligation to value the lives of non whites. I have empathy for Ukraine because they're white European. I don't see the value in black and brown lives so it's a different story when it comes to them

      The same people who talk about mainstream media all the time and then get facts from said media.
      It's just about whatever justifies their biases and opinions that have formed into toxic feelings.

    The scariest thing, regardless of your point of view, is that Paul was unable or unwilling to see the flaws in his own logic and hence looks like a total muppet. Having said that, he is in fact wrong....obvious hypocrisy does not make for a resilient argument

    I feel like these rows wouldn’t be such an issue if immigration, migration, refugee status / asylum seeking was handled properly by our government.
    Genuine refugees should be helped regardless of where they come from, especially those who helped us and sided with us.
    People get annoyed because of the lack of control of our own borders with illegal crossings and stuff and tend to muddle it all together - maybe if our government actually handled all of this stuff properly it wouldn’t be such an issue in peoples eyes, but they see a lack of border control and thousands of illegal crossings taking place, which is rightfully going to annoy people for many different reasons.

    I look at it this way, if Britain has interfered with any other country then Britain has a moral duty to give sanctuary to people fleeing the result of that interference. As to understand the state will have got more out of the countries it has interfered with than it will cost to give sanctuary to the residue of that interference.
