Bush administration, had some of the harshest criticism for Biden on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/boris-johnson-blames-us-and-biden-for-afghanistan-collapse\">Fox News reported<\/a> that U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson pinned the blame for the collapse of Afghanistan on Biden himself. \u201cJohnson said it was \u2018fair to say the US decision to pull out has accelerated&nbsp;things, but this has in many ways been a chronicle of an event foretold,\u2019 but urged western leaders to work together to prevent Afghanistan from again becoming a \u2018breeding ground for terrorism.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&nbsp;think it is very important that the West should work collectively to get over to that new government \u2013 be it by the Taliban or anybody else \u2013 that nobody wants Afghanistan once again to be a breeding ground for terror and we don\u2019t think it is in the interests of the people of Afghanistan that it should lapse back into that pre-2001 status,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever happened to \u2018America is back\u2019?\u201d the chair of the Defense Committee in the British Parliament, Tobias Ellwood, said Sunday, according to the Washington Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are bewildered that after two decades of this big, high-tech power intervening, they are withdrawing and effectively handing the country back to the people we went in to defeat,\u201d Ellwood noted, per the Post. \u201cThis is the irony. How can you say America is back when we\u2019re being defeated by an insurgency armed with no more than [rocket-propelled grenades], land mines and AK-47s?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others in the UK expressed abject disappointment: \u201cThe Western democracy that seemed to be the inspiration for the world, the beacon for the world, is turning its back,\u201d one British official told the Post.<\/p>\n<p>German officials blasted the Biden administration for \u201cpromising an open exchange, a transparent exchange with its allies. They said the transatlantic relationship would be pivotal\u201d and then \u201cpaying lip service to the transatlantic relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Arab leaders reportedly joined in, claiming that the \u201cU.S.\u2019s credibility as an ally has been in question for a while,\u201d and that \u201cwhat\u2019s&nbsp;happening in Afghanistan is raising alarm bells everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said Sunday that his government is&nbsp;\u201cconstantly monitoring the rapidly evolving situation in Afghanistan and that Canada is \u201cheartbroken at the situation the Afghan people find themselves in today.\u201d Sunday night, Canada noted that it would stand at the ready to accept refugees from the collapse, offering safe harbor to Afghan translators, coalition allies, and Afghan citizens who will likely face persecution under the Taliban\u2019s regime.<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden released a brief statement on Afghanistan on Sunday but otherwise, the White House has been mum on the withdrawal and Taliban takeover. There are no public statements on the president\u2019s agenda for Monday and the White House has called a lid on press availability through Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
