U.K. Defense Secretary Claims Afghan Debacle Makes West Look Weak

U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace is crying that the Afghan debacle is making the West look weak (as if staying in a never-ending war made the West look strong?). “What I’m uncomfortable with is that we have a world order now where resolve is perceived by our adversaries as weak, the West’s resolve,” Wallace told BBC TV. “That is something we should all worry about: if the West is seen not to have resolve and it fractures, then our adversaries like Russia find that encouraging,” Wallace told LBC radio, reports Reuters.
