Afghanistan Pullout 'Nearly One-Quarter Complete': Pentagon
|
[ToloNews] US Central Command announced on Tuesday that they estimate the US withdrawal from Afghanistan to be somewhere between 16% and 25% complete. President Joe The Big Guy Biden
 ...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run....
announced earlier that the complete withdrawal would finish by September 11, 2021.
Approximately 160 C-17 loads of materiel and equipment have left Afghanistan, the US Department of Defense (DoD) reported, and more than 10,000 pieces of military equipment have been turned over to the Defense Logistics Agency.
US-controlled installations in Afghanistan are also being returned to the Afghan Defense Ministry, and so far five installations have been handed back, said the DoD.
After 20 years, the US is leaving Afghanistan because the mission there is complete, said Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby during a press briefing on Tuesday at the Pentagon.
However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
US involvement in the region is not going to end entirely, according to Kirby, who said the US will be ready to meet threats by strengthening existing "over-the-horizon" capabilities there and growing new ones.
Kirby said the US already has some over-the-horizon capacity in the region with forces already stationed there and long-range capabilities that are outside the region.
According to an AP report, last week Gen. Frank McKenzie, the commander of US Central Command, said negotiations with Afghanistan's neighbors for overflight rights and troop basing are "moving forward" but will take time.
Reacting to reports about the US’s possible intention to keep its presence in the region after leaving Afghanistan, the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
in a statement on Wednesday asked neighboring countries to not provide such an opportunity.
The Taliban said they have pledged that Afghanistan will not be used as a threat against others; therefore, they call on countries in the region to avoid the use of their territories against Afghanistan.
The Taliban warned of "future consequences" for those countries that allow "foreign bases" on their territories.
The US and coalition forces started withdrawing from the country on May 1. Some bases have been handed over to Afghan forces. US forces have started scrapping equipment that can neither be repaired or handed over to Afghan forces in its current state. The scrapping of vehicles and other equipment is taking place at the country’s largest air base, the Bagram Airfield.
