Trump: US troops in Afghanistan for 19 years, and that's enough

60

During the briefing, the US president again touched on the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. According to Donald Trump, "American troops in Afghanistan are already 19 years old, and that’s enough."

The US President, in which he announced his intention to completely withdraw the American military contingent from Afghanistan and "put an end to the protracted war." It is important to note that Trump immediately added the following:



If necessary, we can return there. If we want ...

Journalists asked the US president whether a full withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan would take place before the date of the elections in the States. Trump said that he "does not set specific deadlines."

Trump:

I do not set a goal to withdraw troops by a certain date. We will do this as soon as we consider that it will now be so reasonable.

It must be recalled that the United States has already partially withdrawn its contingent from Afghanistan. The conclusion was initiated by reaching an agreement with the Taliban terrorist group (banned in the Russian Federation) in Doha (Qatar) on February 29 this year. Based on this agreement, the US side pledged to withdraw troops from Afghanistan by the second quarter of 2021.

Against this background, news came from Afghanistan that the country's authorities had released 900 Taliban from prisons. 600 of them were previously held in prison in the area of ​​the US military base Bagram.

      And why is it that they "suddenly cooled off" to the "fight against terrorism", under the guise of which they invaded Afghanistan?

        For Trump, there is no business or income there. It was important for the democrats to carry "democracy". Note that where the Democrats' "accomplishments and goals" were, Republicans have little interest.

        There is no escape from the invasion, the army is eating the American taxpayer’s money as if into a rage, the territory controlled by the Taliban is constantly expanding, the puppet government has learned to only cut the allocated money and snatch slaps, some of which go to the mattresses, and most importantly, the lack of prospects for victory. Therefore, the sand-stone biathletes decided to go skiing and bring down to the ranch.

Against the background of the last clash between India and China on the border in the Gallowen River Valley (Galvan, Galwan) and the withdrawal of the entire US fleet into the sea, the location of our aircraft in the vast Siberia - I think this is the same. There is not a feeble deployment of troops and taking up positions.

By this they: firstly, beat back part of the very large expenses for the maintenance of the military contingent in this country; secondly, they do not deprive the local population of almost the only opportunity to obtain means of subsistence, thereby reducing their hostility to themselves; thirdly, weaken Russia and the countries of Europe. For them, this is one plus.

    If none have been achieved or not significant, then there are two options for the development of events:
    - go home immediately;
    -Leave indefinitely.

Even NATO allies understand that the United States has lost militarily here too. But they managed to conclude an agreement with the Taliban, with whom they came to fight 19 years ago (not one major victory), to protect themselves and poppy plantations, to get good on drugs, etc.

    Apparently, the whole truth about the huge deposits of heroin and the vastness of the opium fields was hidden from him ... A merchant would never have escaped such natural riches ... (more, there is nothing there). According to Trump's rhetoric, it is completely unclear what they are doing there, what tasks they set themselves and what goals they achieved. (besides the fact that they proved that in the absence of a similar opposition on the part of Russia, they lost more people than at the time of the USSR, the military inefficiency of which they so persistently propagated).
