It is really sad to see USA is celebrating it's military might as Salute to America parade in Washington today.
So what did the Mighty super power achieved in Afghanistan ?
So what did the Mighty super power achieved in Afghanistan ?
the same "an undertaking from the Taliban not to provide sanctuary to foreign terrorists" (Home grown are OK !) by the Taliban is just a a fig leaf to cover an American retreat
After more than 17 years, it is the longest war in American history. American forces are no closer to defeating the Taliban—the repressive Islamist militia that ruled most of Afghanistan before 2001—than they were a decade ago. In fact, the share of the country under full control of the elected, American-backed government is humiliatingly small. The conflict has reached something close to a stalemate, but a bloody one: some 10,000 police and soldiers, 3,400 civilians and an unknown number of insurgents died in 2017 alone. Since then, the authorities have stopped releasing data on military casualties—not, presumably, because things have got better.
