What lessons can the West learn from the outcome of America’s longest war?

The Iranian foreign minister says violence, and war, like occupation, have never solved problems in Afghanistan.

This is Spin boldak, a key Afghan border crossing in southwest of Pakistan. Now the Taliban have shut it down demanding Pakistan a visa free movement of Afghans. The complete closure of the border has suspended transportation of edible items and movements of thousands of people from both sides.

With a US military budget of over 1700 billion dollars one would think that some of that should be allocated for veterans, yet, not only is that not done, but Veterans are going hungry and are committing suicide on a daily basis.

The Afghan government is willing to incorporate the Taliban’s demands for amendments in the constitution, Ghani said.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the United States intends to "revitalize" NATO and has a "steadfast commitment" to the military alliance.

The Taliban warn NATO against a “continuation of war” in Afghanistan beyond the May withdrawal deadline agreed with the United States.
