Trump said yesterday at a rally in Virginia that America could have “easily” won in Afghanistan, but became “trapped by political correctness” in this regard.
He said: “We don’t want to be prisoners of political correctness anymore.”
These statements come while America withdrew its forces from Afghanistan in August 2021 after 20 years of military presence in the country.
The withdrawal of American forces led to the rapid collapse of the Afghan government and the return of the Taliban group to power.
The Afghanistan War Commission in the US Congress stated in its recent report that the main cause of America’s failure in Afghanistan was rooted at the strategic level.
This report shows that the excessive dependence of Afghan institutions on foreign aid and weakness in America’s strategy paved the way for the government’s collapse.
