Russia's airstrike on a children's and maternity hospital in Ukraine is stirring memories of the Kremlin's past aerial campaigns waged in Chechnya and Syria.

Why would Vladimir Putin risk a Ukraine invasion? Check his 'ego,' analysts suggest.

Built and trained at a two-decade cost of $83 billion, Afghan security forces collapsed so quickly and completely — in some cases without a shot fired — that the ultimate beneficiary of the American investment turns out to be the Taliban.

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) and Retired Lieutenant General Douglas Lute react to the Taliban's rapid takeover of the country and to President Joe Biden's speech.

The United States owes its Afghan allies careful scrutiny of its institutional and personal failures—without recrimination, but also without excuses.

As the United States ends the nearly 20-year war in Afghanistan and as the Taliban recapture much of the country, Americans are asking if the longest war in their history was worth the cost.
