[I had some good laughs at this excerpt from ZeroHedge in their very long article about the collapse of Afghanistan. They talk about "The Empire" which seems to be Liberal-Britain, and that it controls the USA and pushes the USA along. Below is their fascinating excerpt about how the British are freaking out over the loss of Afghanistan. Jan]

Hysterical in London

The loss of Afghanistan will prove to be a huge setback to empire builders’ ambition to dominate the Eurasian landmass, which explains the avalanche of furious reactions and unanimous condemnation from London which is still the Empire’s intellectual and ideological headquarters.

Britain’s Defence Secretary Ben Wallace broke down in tears speaking about the evacuations of those people whom “we have obligation to.” At the House of Commons, MP Tom Tugendhat gave a theatrically emotional speech explaining how, “this last week has been one that has seen me struggle through anger and grief and rage…” Former PM Theresa May waxed lyrical about “the commitment and dedication of our armed forces,” who were all doing “what they could to give hope to the people of Afghanistan” who enjoyed wonderful freedoms “thanks to our presence there.” Ms. May also sharply condemned the unilateral decision by the US Administration to make a deal with the Taliban without consulting the UK Government.

In a London Times article published on 23 August, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab is quoted denouncing American isolationism, adding that: “America has just signaled to the world that they are not that keen on playing a global role. The implications of that are absolutely huge. We need to get the integrated review out and reread it. We are going to have to do a hard-nosed revisit on all our assumptions and policies.”

For the offense of dropping Afghanistan for them in spite of strenuous warnings to Washington from her “majesty’s” government, Mr. Raab was incensed enough to drop the diplomatic decorum and resort to insults: “The US had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the First World War. They turned up late for the Second World War and now they are cutting and running in Afghanistan.” Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said that the U.S. withdrawal did not have to be done, and it was done, “in obedience to an imbecilic political slogan about ending ‘the forever wars’.”
