Well yeah…. he’s right.  Depending on how you want to define “losing”. 

Did Canada (and friends) lose the war in Afghanistan?   Not really.  But, in the grand scheme, yeah, Canada lost in that it didn’t meet its objectives. 

Russia will withdraw eventually….   they’ll probably take some land with them…. But “lose”?   Nah.

Yes, the west lost in Afghanistan. The point of the war was to overthrow the Taliban and bring some kind of democracy to the place. They're still in charge, we are gone.

As for Russia, failing to meet their military objectives, losing thousands of troops and billions of dollars of equipment and being exposed as a paper tiger for all the world to see is losing by any reasonable definition of the word.
