Makes it difficult to have any sort of peace summit or peace talks when there is no peace. thats what the taliban is exhibiting. i think for president trump too, on the heels of the afghanistan paper from "the washington post" noting just the government dysfunction. you have all of these officials as part of the federal review, they got the information from the foia request, just numerous official saying really dangerous things. like saying we were devoid of a fundamental understanding of afghan...
