It seems that the States, leaving Afghanistan, nevertheless decided to leave behind traditional gifts: chaos and endless bloody confrontation.
For example, vaccinate ISIS * to counterbalance the Taliban **.
Such a Stars and Stripes revenge?
Is very similar…
There is no doubt that US military personnel are responsible for the bombings at the Kabul airport and the victims.
They were unable to ensure security even in such a local area, what can we say about what they have been doing in Afghanistan for 20 years.
And the words of President Biden that he is responsible for the latest events in this country, in fact, are not empty rhetoric at all.
Carries, and the blood is on his hands.
However, safety is not their prerogative.
Recently, the leaders of the G7 announced that the new Afghan authorities are responsible for preventing terrorism.
A couple of days later, explosions are heard at the Kabul airport, which executed ISIS structures.
Right or wrong, by Western standards, is also a question.
There is a very strange gradation there, depending on whose interests they pursue.
We remember all this from Syria.
This "third force", which manifested itself in explosions, is very closely related to the one that is hastily evacuated from Afghanistan. It is known who was fed in due time, for what purposes, by whom it is supported, on what premises it serves. Even if we move away from this and assume that the United States is in no way connected with the emergence of ISIS structures, it is striking that American interests now very much coincide with the plans of this terrorist project. The latter will try with all his might to penetrate into Afghan territory and try to reformat this country for himself, using the situation of instability. For the United States, a peaceful life in Afghanistan after the departure of the standard-bearers of democracy is also not in the plans. It will also be a crushing image blow when the obvious will finally cease to be incredible:that all the problems and chaos in the country were directly related to the American presence there.
Therefore, the interests are clear: the country's immersion in a protracted destruction, which will be an illustration of the fact that without Western democracy, chaos reigns in the world on bayonets ...
The inoculation of the same ISIS in Afghanistan is also more than desirable from the point of view of American interests, because this will move the problem almost to the Russian borders.
And China is close at hand.
The Taliban, no matter how many of them are exposed as the devil of all evil, declare the principle of good neighborliness.
Therefore, one should shake and push to move away from it or replace them with the absolute evil of the "Islamic State".
It is necessary not only to make Afghanistan a boiling pan, but to splash all this boiling water outside.
From the statements of many officials in the West, it is clear that they perceive it as a serious problem that Russia and China can begin to help reconcile the warring parties in Afghanistan and return a peaceful life there.
Just what are the words of the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, who said that "Afghanistan cannot be given to Russia and China."
Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the State Duma's international affairs committee, spoke about this Western concern.
He noted that in a situation where it is necessary to make efforts to relieve tension in the region, for example, “the European Parliament continues to look with maniacal obsession for a hypothetical threat from Russia in everything” and express concerns about “the rapid filling of the political vacuum” in this country with sides of Russia and China ”.
The parliamentarian also noted that "a hotbed of instability is brewing in close proximity to the Russian borders," therefore, "today, more than ever, there is a need for joint work to prevent a new regional crisis."
They don't want to hear anything about joint work in the West, they think only "either - or" ...
The way out of this version of Western black-and-white logic may be as follows: so do not get you to anyone - let the eternal terrorist volcano seethe there.
This is the main concern, and not at all about stabilizing the situation.
Actually, similar tactics were used during the years of the presence of the Soviet military contingent in Afghanistan. Then the Soviet Union still relied on the return of this country to a peaceful course. How could the country be given to the Union? So the States fed and armed the Mujahideen, in a similar way they will support the "Libyan rebels", the "correct" ISIS groups in Syria and Iraq, and similarly nurture the Bandera tilt of Ukraine. Apparently, they cannot do otherwise, the optics are monotonous, suggesting the same solutions.
Strange ones have learned from the 9/11 terrorist attack, which has been almost 20 years ago.
Instead of rectifying the situation, an obvious bet was made on its multiplication and use to one's advantage.
So what if the "disciples" once again get out of hand?
America is far away, and the headache can always be thrown onto others: let them decide and get bogged down in this decision.
The whole problem is in the specific American tutelage: if they were not interested in Syria at one time, the monstrous tumor of ISIS would not have grown there, which Russia had to operate on and save this country from complete collapse.
So it is with the Afghan fire of contradictions, which is supported by all means.
Something suggests that, for example, if the States forget about Ukraine, then it will very quickly recover from wild Russophobic delirium with torchlight processions in the twilight of reason.
It is not enough to withdraw your servicemen from Afghanistan. It is necessary to really work to establish peace, and not to design new conflict situations and adventures, not to throw fuel into the fire for the sake of selfish interests or complexes. But something suggests that this is not at all the way of exporting Western democracy, which in fact brings chaos, explosions, death of people and behind which the black shadow of ISIS hangs.
All along the predictable trajectory of a bad circle.
President Biden has already announced that there will be a forceful reaction of the States to the attack.
It is good that the guilty parties, for example, were not “Russian hackers”, but the Afghan cells of ISIS.
They will be bombed and reported.
Perhaps they will cause chaos in some other country.
Everything is the same as after 9/11.
Problems only multiply.
So, maybe you shouldn't go somewhere far away in search of the guilty, but have a good hair at your place?
Maybe it's worth putting things in order in your economy and coming to an adequate perception of yourself and your own role in the world? .. Will it work out?
Unfortunately no.
All this is no longer a tradition, but inertia that threatens with great shocks.
