Netizens asked: The real reason for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan is very simple, it can't be consumed.

The United States entered Afghanistan in the name of counter-terrorism, fought a 20-year war, and finally withdrew in disarray, and was finally driven out by the Taliban that overthrew it in the first place. In detail, the reasons are manifold.

One. Unpopular, he was counterattacked by the locals as an invader.

After the U.S. military overthrew the Taliban regime, it did not really do things for the locals, nor did it bring any benefits to the local people - when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, it did not do a little economic construction for Afghanistan. Afghanistan, which was single-handedly supported by the United States, is corrupt, and the United States itself has been plagued by scandals in Afghanistan, and accidental killings of civilians are even more common. Such a series of actions have pushed ordinary people and tribes to the Taliban. Therefore, the task of the United States to exterminate the Taliban is becoming more and more difficult, and the Taliban are exterminating more and more. Later, he often launched counterattacks against the American army. In the end, militarily it has long been mired in the whirlpool of guerrilla warfare and law and order warfare.

Second, the economic losses are huge.

As the Taliban push the Taliban grows, so does the U.S. military spending in Afghanistan. It has placed a huge burden on the country's finances. A large part of the US spending is to be used to solve the problem of stationing troops in Afghanistan, which seriously delays the construction of the US military in other aspects.

Three. Lost about strategic significance.

It is difficult to win militarily, and the economy needs long-term investment. After bin Laden was killed, the only point of the US military in Afghanistan was to prevent the collapse of the ** that they had fostered. So for such a **, is it necessary to consume its own national strength to maintain?Especially under the premise that the other major powers of the world such as China, Russia, France, etc., have not consumed their national resources as a result, for the sake of whether it is worth such an investment, although it is indeed a strategic place.

Therefore, under the effect of multiple reasons, the US military chose to break the wrist of the strong man, gave up all the investment, and left Afghanistan. Of course, the basis of all this is that it is no longer possible for the US military to achieve military victory, and in the face of the Taliban's guerrilla warfare and law and order warfare, the US military, which claims to be the most advanced in the world, is quite helpless.
