Islamabad;
June 28, 2021: In a sensational disclosure, BBC revealed that classified
Ministry of Defence documents containing details about HMS Defender and The British military had been found at a bust stop in Kent.
Another
detail plans for a possible UK military presence in Afghanistan after the
US-led Nato operation there ends.
One set
of the documents discussed the likely Russian reaction to the HMS ship’s
passage through Ukrainian waters off the Crimea coast.
The BBC
disclosure forced the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to investigate the incident.
The
perception is that an insider was behind the incident intending to make the
public aware of the serious decision that seems to be at variance with the international
norms. Such decisions risked a war between Russia and UK and ultimately a war
between Russia and Nato as well.
One
outcome of the disclosure is that the Joe Biden administration is seeking continued
British engagement in Afghanistan even after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
This is a mind-boggling decision by an administration that claims that it seeks
to end the Afghan civil war. As a consequence, the secret documents might
agitate the public against the ruling elites in both London and Washington
