President Joe Biden‘s deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan was a precursor to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Haley, a speculated 2024 Republican presidential candidate, condemned the “dangerous message” Biden’s lack of leadership in Afghanistan conveyed to allies and adversaries during a question and answer session in London after delivering Policy Exchange’s Colin Cramphorn Memorial Lecture.

“The reason I think we have war and chaos in the world stems from that point. And we have an obligation and a responsibility to make that right,” she told the crowd at the British think tank. “The pain and humiliation that Americans feel over what happened in Afghanistan is going to last a long time,” she added.
Haley urged Biden to provide economic and military support to Taiwan amid China’s increased aggression toward its neighbor after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“It’s not a matter of if, it’s when there’s an invasion,” she said. “If we just continue to tiptoe around the whole issue of Taiwan, China is going to continue to tiptoe forward as they fly planes over Taiwan.”
Haley was also asked about whether the United States would ever bridge its political, cultural, and social divides, particularly considering the country’s status as the leader of the free world.

“It has to come together. There is no choice. I believe it will come together. And we’re already starting to see that,” she said. “I have always believed sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to know where up is.”
