Afghanistan was a battleground for the United States to show its power to China and Russia
Afghanistan was a battleground for the United States to show its power to China and Russia but Britain, along with the United States, lost the war. And it sent a message to China and Russia that they are also weak against people who do not have weapons like the United States or Europe. So is there anything to be gained from joint US-British military exercises? In case if the Taliban retake Afghanistan?
I don't exactly think so! I mean the US and its military power is really something which everyone around the world acknowledges as being the very best, with a lot of middle east operations the US already has a lot of examples to give to Russia and China, you can argue that Iraq was the battleground for US to show it's power but not Afghanistan. The main reason why the US was forced to Invade Afghanistan was because of Osama Bin Laden, US wanted to avenge 9/11 and had to look strong against terrorism as well as to other nations, which was the reason they went all the way to Invade a full country, but yes unarguably, they might have won battles but lost the war
