Biden lost temper with Zelenskyy during phone call over Ukraine aid

The fact that former elite Afghan soldiers could end up fighting alongside Russia in the Ukrainian war is a remarkable irony in history. Washington only has itself to blame for this turn of events, having abandoned tens of thousands of Afghan US-trained soldiers after twenty years of war. Not for the first time, Washington's misguided military ventures could end up turning against the US itself.
The fact that Russia is recruiting Afghan mercenaries shows one thing above all: Russia is incapable of bringing Ukraine to its knees. Therefore, it's not surprising that Wagner recruited prison inmates to fight on the front lines. Given the incompetence of the Russian army and the declining morale among Wagner's troops, it's wishful thinking to believe that Afghan mercenaries will make any difference.
