Those hoping for a US withdrawal from Afghanistan after 18 years of pointless war and a new peace deal with the Taliban are going to be disappointed. According to press reports, the US will be keeping more troops in Afghanistan than it is removing. Will 8,000 troops in country achieve what 100,000 could not achieve just a few years ago? What’s the point of the war? Does anyone know?
