The mouthpiece of the neocons admitted defeat to the United States
The United States, which invaded Afghanistan in 2001, has failed to defeat the Taliban, and the US army is preparing to withdraw from the country.
This is written about by the American The Weekly Standard , which is called the “stronghold of neoconservatism” and the “bible of the neocons.”
The publication notes that recently in Kandahar province, a Taliban militant managed to infiltrate a meeting of US and Afghan officials, where the commander of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan, Austin Miller, was present, and opened fire on its participants. Miller himself was not injured, but three Americans were wounded, and Kandahar police chief Abdul Razak, who was considered an influential US ally, was also killed.
The headline under which the article was published is noteworthy: “The Afghan war is over. We lost".
The publication comes to the conclusion that the United States failed to win a military victory in Afghanistan, and the Taliban refused to recognize the government established on American bayonets.
“The United States is no longer trying to defeat the Taliban. Instead, the Trump administration, like the Obama administration before it, wants out. The Taliban know this and are more than happy to dictate the timing of America's withdrawal. This is what is being negotiated now. Jihadists also know that wars end in victories or defeats - and victory is already in their hands,” the magazine summarizes.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, Kyiv acknowledged that Moscow had succeeded in forming an alliance in Syria that allowed it to outmaneuver the United States.
