Nicholson said that he thinks that Trump’s policy is working out very well, but that it needs more time to become fully functional.
He also added that he thinks that the involvement of other outside powers is further complicating the war. He was referring to Russia. Russia claims that they got involved because they are concerned about IS-affiliated groups spreading to Central Asia.
Questions from the American People:
- The government of Afghanistan called a cease-fire against enemies within their borders. Should the U.S. follow suit? Or should American forces continue the offensive?
- Taliban seems to be considering peace talks. Should the U.S. allow them to negotiate? Or should we consider them criminals with no rights to ask for peace?
- Should the U.S. insist that other governments leave our forces to finish the offensive?
