This left Afghanistan&#8217;s future uncertain because many educated and skilled people left the country. This has caused Afghanistan to lose many talented people who could have helped the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The United States was seen as a superpower that could project its global power and influence. However, he said that its pull-out from Afghanistan has shown that the superpower is not invincible and that determined adversaries can defeat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This has led to a decline in confidence in the United States and made it more difficult for it to build alliances and maintain its influence in the world,&#8221; Bazwan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted the long-term effects of the U.S. military rule in Afghanistan, including environmental damage and human suffering and deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The toxic environmental and humanitarian ramifications of extensive aerial bombardments caused civilian casualties and inflicted lasting ecological damage,&#8221; said Bazwan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. military hegemony is responsible for the dire  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3485,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,12],"tags":[1677,1388,1560],"class_list":["post-3484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","category-usa","tag-dire","tag-hegemony","tag-military"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.0 -
