The Washington Post published a story July 2, “As Ukraine War Bogs Down, U.S. Assessments Face Scrutiny,” which surfaced fissures in the former phalanx of United States support for the British Empire’s Ukraine military adventure. It not only disclosed some who have become war-weary, but it raised the obvious, but for the warmongers dreadful comparison likening the rose-colored assessments of the British-U.S.-trained Afghanis’ ability to win the war in Afghanistan, to similar fake assessments about the ability of Ukraine military forces to carry the day in Ukraine.
“The scrutiny is fueled by U.S. government assessments of other wars, notably in Afghanistan, where officials habitually glossed over widespread dysfunction and corruption and sidestepped questions of whether battlefield successes were not only achievable but sustainable,” said the paper. “Successive administrations insisted Afghan forces were ‘in the lead’ even as their performance was deeply flawed.” Starting August 15, 2021, U.S. and NATO forces hastily withdrew their forces in the dead of night from Afghanistan, marking a 20-year fiasco for NATO.
