Afghan government could collapse 'several months' after full US military withdrawal: Gen. Keane

The Taliban have gained “significant momentum” since President Biden's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan, Fox News senior strategic analyst and retired Army Gen. Jack Keane told "The Story" Wednesday.

"I think in several months, we could see the collapse of the security forces and also the Afghan government, which certainly would be tragic." "The reason for that is, they normally conduct operations with air support," he explained. " Now they don’t have any…. of course, the last several years, the Afghans have been doing the fighting largely by themselves but always had our U.S. air support and also coalition support as well. That has been gone. As a result of that, the Taliban have significant momentum. That’s what you’re seeing as these districts are falling and provincial capitals are falling,  so much so, that I think in several months, we could see the collapse of the security forces and also the Afghan government, which certainly would be tragic."
