During meetings in Brussels, the foreign ministers of NATO member nations have agreed that the soaring death toll among Afghan troops is concerning, but will not impact NATO’s continued involvement in the war, saying they remain committed for long-term involvement in Afghanistan.
This is noteworthy as before there was little admission that the war in Afghanistan was going poorly. This comes a day after a US general admitted that the death toll among Afghan troops is “unsustainable.”
Not that officials are admitting that they’ll continue on failing in so many words. Indeed, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg claimed the soaring death toll might be a positive sign, saying that sometimes a spike in deaths comes just before “it becomes better.”
No one really expects the Afghan War, over 17 years in, to suddenly become better, of course. Rather, the alliance just isn’t at a point where it’s ready to drop support for the conflict, and that means they’ll feign commitment to continue the war forever.
The USA/NATO gang needs to be disbanded, long after it became obsolete when the USSR broke apart, for the sake of world peace.
Time to say goodbye to all the soldiers at all US military bases around the world. The people have decided that we are going to make all our leaders around the world that love their wars so much, and those in government that have created these wars be the ones to end them. Time to FORCE THEM to put on the uniform and get their sorry butts over to Afghanistan and all other military bases in the world, and deal with them yourselves.
Sorry our tax dollars are going to be spent on cleaning up our own country rather than continuing to go around and destroy these countries and forcing the taxpayers to CONTINUE to rebuild them. How stupid does this government think they can keep people? Enough is MORE than ENOUGH! Time for a bit of Democracy in the USA. I am sick and tired of these mouths that are nothing but dictators including Pukes and Dums.
“..NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg claimed the soaring death toll might be a positive sign..”
Another effing general who thinks killing could be a positive thing. Just as long as it isn’t his ass being sacrificed.
Now. Is NOT a good time to serge. In fact it is a very bad time to put on the tough act…
Arresting Chinese business woman to try to push China uphill on trade??? Some tough guy!!! I would LOVE to hear who”s idea it was having Canada do their cowardly dirtywerk. Just shows what a worm Trudeau turns out to be. Our onetime independant neighbor North seems to have cultivated a Lackey Dog demeanor as their new way to engage the world stage… EU TU Canada?
I maintain that the Nato member nations have “decided” to stay in Afghanistan because they are ordered to by Washington. No self-respecting sovreign state would choose to have anything to do with Afghanistan.
