U.S. Secretary of State @SecBlinken tried hard to sell @JoeBiden ‘s decision to withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan during an unannounced visit to the country. #Afghan #AfghanistanWar

When announcing the decision, @JoeBiden said U.S. has achieved its objectives of preventing “future terrorist attacks against the United States”. #Afghan

But the real objective for @JoeBiden to pull out U.S. troops is perhaps to play into America’s domestic politics and establish himself as the President who ended the country’s longest war. #AfghanistanWar

The sad thing is such politics is played at the price of more than 2500 lost lives of American soldiers, plus thousands of Afghan civilian lives lost during the war. #Afghan

Terrorism and violence are still seen in today’s Afghanistan. With U.S. troops leaving Afghanistan, talks between Afghan government and Taliban almost stalled, who are to be responsible for eventual peace and prosperity for the #Afghan people? #AfghanPeaceProcess
