My newsletter today is about what @Anand_Gopal_ called “the two Afghanistans” — the one that Americans hear about, that is furious over US withdrawal, and the other that we mostly don’t https://t.co/Pw63YTv7sF — PolitiTweet.org

Much of Afghanistan is likely to starve in the coming months if Washington continues to withhold the $9.4bn in currency reserves the country needs to import fuel and food Flour prices are already spiking due to the US-imposed currency crisis https://t.co/9njfRPS8oM — PolitiTweet.org

This has been a consistent feature of the US war for 20 years. Strike after strike, family after family. Many in DC and the green zone call it “sustainable." https://t.co/3AO3JQJjU5 — PolitiTweet.org

This whole thread is crucial for understanding why, if you watch US TV news, the war in Afghanistan, which has been killing thousand annually for 20 years, only seemed to become a disaster this week — PolitiTweet.org

The US foreign policy establishment had a real opportunity this week to confront and learn from its 20-year failure in Afghanistan. Instead, just like in Iraq, it’s refused, blaming it all on poor execution. American empire can never fail, it can only be failed. — PolitiTweet.org

My one consistent plea to fellow journalists covering US foreign policy is to treat the DC think tank circuit as part of why that foreign policy is the way it is, rather than as a source of objective commentary on it — PolitiTweet.org

A big surprise was that much of Afghanistan fell with little bloodshed. If instead months of fighting had slowed the Taliban advance as expected, we wouldn't have these grisly airport scenes, but thousands more would have died in fighting. Is that better? Better for who? — PolitiTweet.org

Was there really a "better withdrawal"? Or is this what defeat from a calamitous and failed war was going to look like? https://t.co/t8IwScbxe5 — PolitiTweet.org

“The US should have evacuated Afghans before this month” is a world-historical understatement. The US has been signaling that it considers the war unwinnable since **2012** Three presidents passed up nine winters to do this, because they didn’t want the criticism or the refugees — PolitiTweet.org

Why are European leaders so adamant that Americans kill and die in Afghanistan in perpetuity on their behalf? Every EU foreign policy pro I’ve ever spoken to has been clear on this: to prevent Afghan refugees from coming to Europe. — PolitiTweet.org
