Lukashenko describes USA's withdrawal from Afghanistan as shameful flight

The United States suffered a fiasco in Afghanistan which turned into a shameful flight, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told the media during a working trip to Bobruisk on 1 September, BelTA has learned.

"That was a fiasco that turned into a shameful flight," Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

According to him, it could not have been otherwise. "There has not yet been a force that could defeat Afghanistan, put it on its knees, and there will never be. This has never happened in history," the head of state noted.

The president noted that it is too early to draw big conclusions because the Americans could play a long time. "The chaos at the airport [of Kabul] was, of course, sad. But we should not absolutize this and think that Americans are so brainless. They spent more than two trillions on the war. They abandoned $85 billion worth of ammunition and hardware there (Rahmon cited this figure yesterday),” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

According to the head of state, the U.S. should have redeployed its troops to the neighboring countries, namely Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and then withdrawn from the region leaving its hardware to these countries. These countries are lacking modern weapons. "No one would have refused to accept American troops with hardware," the president said. “Everything would have been fine. But they didn't do it. They could have withdrawn from these countries within one week, calmly, without a fuss. But they did otherwise. Why did they abandon weapons, ammunition, warehouses and so on?"
