US Senator John McCaian says the US is losing its war in Afghanistan, where Washington has led military operations to support Kabul for more than 16 years. Sputnik was released on Monday, July 10, 2017.
McCain's address was made in an interview with CBS, adding that the big problem was in the White House, who did not give specific tactics due to "internal turmoil". "We do not have a strategy, so we will fail, and when you fail, you will be defeated, the Afghan National Army will not be able to accept this defeat," said the senator from the state of Arizona.
The United States and its allies have been conducting military operations in Afghanistan since 2001, following the September 11 terrorist attacks. The military mission in the country ended on December 28, 2014, and until January 1, 2015, NATO announced a new mission to assist Afghan forces in the fight against Taliban militants, leaving 5,000 NATO troops. But in the face of the growing influence of the Taliban, the US Defense Department plans to send 4,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, according to the US media.
