How should President Joe Biden plan the future of security assistance to Afghanistan after the withdrawal of US troops
President Joe Biden plan the future of security assistance to Afghanistan
The Biden administration`s decision to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021 is a wise strategic choice that took significant political courage. The administration correctly assessed that perpetuating U.S. military engagement in Afghanistan has become a strategic liability and a futile investment that lost the capacity to alter the basic political and military dynamics in Afghanistan. The U.S. military presence has slowed the Taliban`s military and political gains, but not reversed them (even when American troop levels were 100,000 strong). The United States needs to remain engaged in those efforts and continually urge power-sharing in Afghanistan. It should continue providing financial, intelligence, and perhaps other remote support for the Afghan security forces. It should seek to shape the Taliban through prospects of international economic aid (or its denial), sanctions, travel visas, and other tools so as to minimize the losses to pluralistic political and economic processes and rights in Afghanistan.
responsible for organizing the discussion. The main purpose of the group discussion method is to gain a deep understanding of some related issues by listening to a group of respondents selected from the target market that the researcher wants to study. (Lestrel,2010)
For the purposes of this study, participants were not observed and recorded for ethical considerations, and because of time and manpower, the focus group team was more difficult to study, so it will not be used in this study.
3.5 Ethical Considerations
In order to effectively solve the ethical issues of the dissertation, the following points must be achieved.
It is important that respondents volunteer to participate in the research. In addition, participants have the right to withdraw from the study at any stage if they wish. Respondents should participate on the basis of informed consent (Cacciattolo, 2015). The principle of informed consent involves the researcher providing sufficient information and assurance of participation, allowing the individual to understand the impact of participation and, without any pressure, to reach a decision that is fully informed, considered and freely determined to do so (Cacciattolo, 2015). Respondents’ privacy and anonymity are essential, and the highest level of objectivity must be maintained during the research process, subject to the Data Protection Act.
The manual files and data will be stored in researcher’s secure cabinet at all times. The cabinet will be installed with a combination lock, encryption and password protected, only the researcher can get access to it. The electronic questionnaire will be stored on the researcher’s computer. The electronic questionnaires wil
