OEF: a lingering Afghan small war for the West (catch all)

[Azor]

The threads in this arena have been reviewed and seven threads, several with high views, have been merged here and the title changed to reflect the continuing debate over a US and allied role in Afghanistan.

The catalyst was the big bomb being used on an ISIS outpost; so several posts elsewhere will appear here soon.

Are you going to merge my thread/post on Afghnistan in 2017 and RE: Russian-Taliban relations?

Azor,

No, as I have moved it to this thread:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=21569 which covers non-NATO and other neighbours role in Afghanistan.
