UK and USA admit defeat in Afghanistan
I am very sad, dejected, and slightly lost to read that after the recent withdrawal of forces, and the immediate taliban resurgence, the UK and USA are going to commit forces purely for the purpose of evacuating their embassies.
That looks, feels and smells like a surrender to me.
The Taliban said they would wait for a thousand years if they had to and when we left they would rule again. Countless empires failed to defeat them and our aggressive predecessors, Russia, failed recently,
Was this a political vanity project always doomed to failure?
