I think it’s fai4 to say that the British defence establishment, including the minister Ben Wallace, arent happy having been put in this position by Biden.

The interviews of Wallace and Mercer on Sky this morning didn’t pull any punches - and Tom Tugendhat, Chair if the HoC Foreign Affairs Committee, wrote a long Twitter thread on the consequences last night.

One of the widely reported consequences is the lack of trust in the reliability of the USA by their allies such as Korea and Japan. That seems to apply in part to the UK..
