The decision to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan, which was made by US President Joe Biden, was the opposite of the advice of the American high command. The Wall Street Journal writes about this, citing sources.
According to the publication, the commander of the NATO mission in Afghanistan, General Austin Scott Miller, the commander of the US Central Command, General Kenneth F. Mackenzie, the chairman of the Committee of the Chiefs of Staff of the United States of America, General Mark Milli, urged peace agreement.
The head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, also spoke out against him, warning Biden that the withdrawal of the entire contingent would deprive the country of at least some stability.
Let us remind you that NATO made a decision to begin the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan by May 1. According to Washington, the United States will begin the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan by May 1 and complete by September 11.
