RT: Analyst Miller urged not to neglect the study of the US failure in Afghanistan The Foreign Affairs Committee of the US Senate assessed the country's 20-year mission in Afghanistan, reports RT.
Miller said that the United States can learn from the campaign in Afghanistan “five key lessons.” She also urged not to neglect the study of the failure of the States in the republic. The analyst called her first lesson a wary attitude towards changing modes.

“If the success of a strategy depends on specific conditions, you need to be confident in your ability to create or control them,” Miller formulated the second lesson. In her opinion, the United States has failed to form a strong government in Afghanistan.
The analyst also stated that it is necessary to objectively assess the known and hidden data, and, depending on this, make the appropriate changes. According to her, Washington for a long time did not take into account the assessments of the American intelligence community on the situation in Afghanistan.
Conditions for the allocation of assistance should also be set without relying on the success of the recipient. According to Miller, the United States will continue to support the Taliban movement (banned in Russia as a terrorist movement) until the problems with corruption and political disunity are resolved in the republic.
Miller named the fifth lesson the need “to recognize the limits of the US's ability to assert its will where such is not vital.” She suggested that the deterioration of the humanitarian and economic situation in Afghanistan will entail the adoption of politically difficult decisions.
Earlier it was reported that the US and the Taliban held talks. Spokesman Ned Price stressed that the United States will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to Afghans.
