Afghanistan and the United States became a joke.

The war in Afghanistan has been going on since 200 1 9, and the United States has suffered heavy losses, not only spending nearly one trillion dollars, but also killing more than 2,300 American soldiers. The United States and the Taliban do have a deep hatred, but why does the United States have to make up with the Taliban? Today, we will explore the truth through historical clues.

200 1 10 year 10/7 October, in order to retaliate against the 91/kloc-0 incident, the United States launched a war against al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan in the name of counter-terrorism, which is known as the Afghan war in history. With this advanced weapon and equipment, the United States-led Coalition forces are on a roll. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the Taliban retreated to the southern mountainous areas, and the US military quickly occupied the whole of Afghanistan and supported the Afghan government. Many people thought the war was over, but in fact it was just the beginning. The next year was a nightmare for the US military, which lasted for 19 years.

/kloc-in the war of 0/8, nearly 2,300 Americans were killed in the war in Afghanistan. The direct cost of war exceeds 900 billion dollars, and the indirect expenditure may be as high as 2 trillion dollars. Of course, the Taliban suffered even greater losses, with at least 20,000 Taliban fighters killed. The American army suffered heavy losses in this protracted war and paid the price of 2300 people killed. It is right that the United States and the Taliban have a bloody feud and die endlessly. However, since 20 13, the United States has achieved peace with the Taliban. So, why is America so timid?

There are three main reasons: first, the basic war objectives of the US military have been achieved. 200 1, the us military launched the war in Afghanistan to fight terrorism. In the war of 18, bin Laden's al-Qaeda was basically destroyed, and bin Laden himself was killed on 20 1 1. The basic war goal of the US military has been achieved, which can give a good explanation to the US Congress and the people. The goal of the war has been basically achieved, and it is of little significance to fight again.

Second, the US military is deeply involved in the war in Afghanistan and is eager to get out. The war in Afghanistan is a replica of the Vietnam War. The U.S. military was mired in the quagmire of war, which not only cost nearly one trillion dollars, but also caused 2,300 American soldiers to die and suffered heavy losses. The war in Afghanistan has lasted 18 years. The U.S. military has tried its best to destroy the Taliban, but it still can't. Fighting any longer will only increase casualties. Obviously, it is wisest to talk about withdrawing troops instead of continuing revenge!

The third is to comply with public opinion. The war in Afghanistan lasted 19 years. The United States not only spent a lot of money on American taxpayers, but also killed so many people. The United States is anti-war, demanding from top to bottom that the war in Afghanistan be ended as soon as possible and that troops be withdrawn from Afghanistan. In order to comply with public opinion, the US government has to consider peace talks with the Taliban and withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.

That was not the case. At that time, Obama's campaign promises included ending the war in Afghanistan as soon as possible and withdrawing troops from Afghanistan. After Obama took office, he really put it into action. After Obama took office, he initially wanted to completely destroy the Taliban and withdraw troops, but after a period of fighting, he could not make a quick decision and only increased casualties. Therefore, Obama changed his strategy and chose the road of peace talks. In 20 13, the United States and the Taliban held their first peace talks. On February 29th, 20 14, 14, American troops began to leave Afghanistan. There are still about 14000 American soldiers stationed in Afghanistan. Help the Afghan government forces to maintain law and order, but the Taliban did not stop there and continued to cooperate with the US military. In order to get out of Afghanistan completely as soon as possible and give an explanation to the current Afghan government, the US military had to bite the bullet and continue to beg the Taliban for peace talks.

According to foreign media reports, some officials said that a new round of peace talks between the United States and the Taliban was scheduled to start in Doha, Qatar, yesterday, and said it was aimed at ending the Afghanistan 19 war? The most critical? Stage. It is said that peace talks between the United States and the Taliban have now been reached? Great progress? At the same time, he warned that he had the ability to destroy most parts of Afghanistan in a few days. This is really funny. Before that, the American army fought for 19 years. Trump is really whimsical and wants to end the war in a few days. Unless, of course, he wants to use nuclear weapons.

In any case, this is the eighth round of talks between the two sides. I hope that a peace agreement can be reached at last, so that foreign troops can withdraw from this war-torn country and give the Afghan people a peaceful home!
