DISINFO: The US should leave Ukraine as it did with Afghanistan

SUMMARY

The Americans should draw conclusions and leave all countries in the world. After Afghanistan it is time to leave Ukraine, to prevent Kabul’s scenario. There will be peace in the world when the US will leave alone other countries.

RESPONSE

A recurring narrative about the US as a “world policeman” portraying other countries as puppets of Washington.

It is speculative to compare the situation in Afghanistan and Ukraine. There are no US military forces deployed on the territory of Ukraine. The relations between Washington and Kiyv are based on mutual respect and cooperation. As it is officially noted: “U.S. policy is centered on supporting Ukraine in the face of continued Russian aggression as it advances reforms to strengthen democratic institutions, fight corruption, and promote conditions for economic growth and competition.”
