Kroenig quoted on the future of US global engagement in NBC News analysis

By Atlantic Council

On September 1, NBC News quoted Matthew Kroenig in an article about Afghanistan and the future of US engagement abroad.

Kroenig commented that the US withdrawal from Afghanistan delivered “a big blow to US credibility” with adversaries and allies. He added that NATO allies were “somewhat caught off-guard” that the president decided to withdraw “without much consultation.”

Is it another 15- or 20-year period before we get our confidence back?
