Tony Blair today took a swipe at Joe Biden as he said the US withdrawal from Afghanistan will embolden the West’s enemies and give them a ‘belief our time is over’.
The former prime minister said ‘it is clear now’ the US has decided that for the ‘foreseeable future’ it has a ‘very limited appetite for military engagement’. Mr Blair suggested Europe and NATO should therefore ‘develop the capability to act’ when the US is ‘unwilling’. He suggested the US and the West more widely now seems to be focused on ‘short term political imperatives’ which have ‘squeezed the space’ for ‘long term thinking’. The apparent retreat from the world stage ‘gives our allies anxiety and our opponents a belief our time is over’.
