During the Taliban invasion, he got stuck there. Despite this, he expressed a desire to return for cultural exchange.

In an interview with foreignperspectives.net, he said he was "befriending" both the Taliban and Nato special forces while documenting everything on his smartphone.

Controversial Comments

In 2024, Routledge made headlines again for his offensive comments about India and Africa. He shared a conversation with an unknown user who threatened him. The message read, "I will find you, I promise, your apology video will be sweet."

Routledge accepted the message request and shared his address. He also mocked the Indian accent by writing, "Saar okay lord saar good luck saar haha saar."

Launching Nuclear Weapons Against India?

In another controversial post, Routledge joked about launching nuclear weapons against India. Sharing a video featuring US President Joe Biden, he wrote: "When I become prime minister of England, I'll open the nuclear silos as an explicit warning to any foreign power that interferes with British interests and affairs. I'm not talking (about) huge incidents; I'm itching to launch and atomize entire nations over the smallest infraction."

Social Media Reactions

The viral posts sparked widespread criticism. One user commented: "A loser who supports radicals targeting white children from his community... What makes you think a traitor like you will ever get elected anywhere lol."

Another user suggested: "This guy needs urgent medical attention! As an Indian, I can get him admitted to Bangalore's finest mental health hospital-NIMHANS!" A third user pointed out factual inaccuracies: "You don't have any silos; Britain never developed a land-based missile program and decommissioned air-dropped weapons 30 years ago."

Earlier in August 2024, Routledge made another distasteful comment about overpopulation in India and Africa. He tweeted: "If I was reincarnated, I would like to return as a virus to contribute to humanity by solving the overpopulation in India and Africa."

Miles Routledge's actions have drawn significant ire online due to their offensive nature. His comments have been widely condemned across social media platforms.
