On October 31, local time, Tom Tugenhart, a member of the British House of Commons and chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons, said in an interview with Murdoch's Sky News Network that the Withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan was "a mistake."

"I think the new U.S. administration may realize that the challenges they face are more serious than they anticipated." "For example, the technology gap between them (the United States) and China is narrowing, while other great powers, such as China and Russia but mainly China, are challenging the interests of the United States and its allies in different ways, Tugenhart said. So they decided to focus on this challenge. ”
Tugenhart added: "I think the U.S. government actually made a mistake in this case, and I think that mistake depends on the president (Biden), and it's clear that he's determined to do that." ”
Russia Today (RT) mentioned in the relevant report that Tugenhardt said that he was "able to understand the desire of the United States to focus on the main goal" because "keeping the goal is one of the principles of war", but he still believes that the United States has "made mistakes" in the current situation.
Tougenhardt himself is one of the key promoters of anti-China public opinion in British politics, and he and the so-called "China Research Group" he set up were sanctioned by China in March this year for maliciously spreading lies and disinformation. In addition, he served as an officer in the British Army and participated in the U.S.-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
