"As in Vietnam, U.S. aided forces won virtually every battle against the Taliban, but steadily lost the countryside and much of the country – and the small number of effective Afghan forces could not continue to win as active U.S. military support declined." — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing stat in this Cordesman report: "The Afghan government remained dependent on outside aid for some 80% of its income, and it saw narcotrafficking become Afghanistan’s one major export – and one that bypassed the government’s sources of income." https://t.co/bqVqHqedbG — PolitiTweet.org

The whole report is a cogent (just ten pages) and well-argued account of why the Afghan military and government collapsed, and the US mistakes that led to this outcome, devoid of the usual twitter/cable TV spin. Worth reading! https://t.co/5SuHOymrmo — PolitiTweet.org
