“We have not begun any peace talks with the Afghan government at all,” retired four-star General Jack Keane said. “That is going to be very, very complicated, and we’ve got a long road in front of us.'
Retired four-star General Jack Keane believes people should “be skeptical” of the Trump administration’s ongoing peace negotiations in Afghanistan.
“But the fact that the Taliban has come to the table is a good thing,” he added, expressing a bit of optimism. “And also a good thing, not particularly well known, is that Pakistan has been pushing the Taliban to the table,” he continued, explaining that the South Asian nation had been supporting the extremist militant group throughout the conflict, despite being a regional U.S. ally.
Launched in 2001, the war in Afghanistan has become the longest war ever waged by the U.S. The war officially began less than a month after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as the Taliban – which controlled Afghanistan – had harbored Osama bin Laden and his extremist network Al-Qaeda.
