La paz parece tener un momento extremadamente, ridículamente, ridículamente malo, esta última vez en Afganistán, dice Lee Camp.
This is not a column defending Donald Trump. Across my career, I have said more positive words about the scolex family of intestinal tapeworms than I have said about Donald Trump. (Scolex have been shown to read more.) No, this is a column about context. When The New York Times reports anonymous sources from the intelligence community say
America’s relationship with the Taliban has always been determined by how useful they are at advancing US interests in the region and the Trump administration’s recent efforts to make “peace” with the group are no exception.
President Trump, who is up for re-election this year, has added another “peace” deal to his credentials, a deal that the president, his re-election campaign and his supporters have promoted as proof that Trump is willing and able to resist the U.S. foreign policy establishment and its ceaseless push to keep the U.S. embroiled in “forever

Los nuevos cuasigubernamentales instalados por el "cambio de régimen" de Estados Unidos en un país tras otro han demostrado ser más corruptos, menos legítimos y menos capaces de controlar el territorio de su nación que los que Estados Unidos ha destruido.
The trove of U.S. “Lessons Learned” documents on Afghanistan published by the Washington Post portrays, in excruciating detail, the anatomy of a failed policy, scandalously hidden from the public for 18 years.
