I think what biden has said is just a repetition of long term or long time u. S. Policy about wanting to have a counterterrorism presence in afghanistan. But once he examines the current situation, he will see that there is a choice between maintaining the agreement with the taleban and keeping those troops there. So i think when he realised when you evaluates everything, if there is reasonable progress in the negotiations and support for it from the regional countries including russia, then im sure that he will go ahead with a troop withdrawal. I would assume that he will advocate the same thing and 2020 that he did in 2000 because he did support the original war famously. Joe joe biden.

On a u. S. Troops heads, thats very different t

Rape, and sexual slavery in north kivu province. Not let out. They said, dont call me eastern to your city has never experienced a trial on this level. Its a historic moment, has been found guilty of war crimes. He is someone that no one thought they would ever see in the dark. So just for that, its a huge step forward for justice. So yes, there are certain aspects of the verdict which we are not so happy with. For example, the recognition of the crimes against humanity for rape in a long time. But the fact remains that in general, it is a very positive verdict and a great message for the victims that justice is being served.
