The United Kingdom is a member of the [[United Nations]] and rethinking its commitment to [[NATO]] after the disastrous actions of the U.S. [[Democrat]] [[Biden regime]] culminating in the [[Rape of Afghanistan]].<ref>[https://archive.is/KmgYt Tom Tugendhat on Afghanistan: Six decades after Suez, we remain impotent in the face of US policy], August 16 2021, ''The Times''. <small>"The fall of Kabul is the biggest foreign policy disaster since [[Suez Crisis|Suez]]. The operation to seize the canal in 1956 symbolised the end of Britain’s global ambition and refocused us on Nato and alliances. It showed conclusively that the US could limit our actions and change our policy.  The fall of Kabul will be remembered for similar reasons: not just its abject failure, but also because it revealed the nature of US power and our inability to hold a separate line.  The redeployment of 2,500 US troops, half as many as it takes to crew a carrier, ended 20 years of British effort in Afghanistan and left thousands of British citizens under Taliban jurisdiction....The longer-term question is: what next? Is Britain’s [[foreign policy]] achievable given the past week? What are the implications for our alliances?...just like in Suez, we need to reset to make sure that a false narrative does not grow, and that means commitment.  Cuts to overseas engagement, whether defence, diplomacy, aid or trade, will look different today from how they did a week ago...."
