Have twenty years of military service been wasted? The military historian Sönke Neitzel described the failure of Germany’s Afghanistan policy. He posed key questions to Merkel and Steinmeier. An interview.
Mr. Neitzel, are you in contact with soldiers in Afghanistan?
I kept in touch with the Bundeswehr soldiers involved in the transfer, received WhatsApp messages from Kabul Airport, and talked with military officers who have been in Afghanistan for a long time.You are surprised how fast it is Taliban They have mastered power, but it does not mean that they have mastered it.
This feeling is a feeling of vain for 20 years, sacrifice, care for helpers-what does this mean for those who have invested a lot in those years?
