Russia exited in outright defeat.
While the US withdrawal was a clusterfuck and a disaster, we drew down our forces in a systematic way so that the Afghan government wasn’t taken by surprise. Unfortunately, the Afghan army didn’t have the backbone to fight off the reinvigorated Taliban.
I’m hopeful that the aid doesn’t completely stop.. Pauses in aid only helps Russia. At least the EU is standing fast with aid.
All that said, in my opinion, the Ukraine is the new front. Letting them fail is letting Eastern Europe fail.
