Enemies of the Taliban * hoped that they would not soon make peace with the Yankees.

But the real concerns of management weigh on old grudges.

And now negotiations between the Taliban and the United States have already resumed in Doha.

The United States has resumed deliveries of humanitarian aid as before.

Over 20 years of occupation, Afghanistan has not come a step closer to economic independence.

In this aspect, American colonization is probably the worst.

Where the Japanese colonized (Korea, Taiwan) - an advanced industry arose;

when the French colonized they brought culture with them;

where the Russians were, there were huge projects, hydroelectric power plants, tunnels, factories.

The Americans are of no use.

How many years they have ruled in Puerto Rico, and Cuba cannot be compared.

20 years in Afghanistan - and nothing to brag about.

Except for parcels with hundred dollar bills, with which it is easy to run away.

The bodyguard (security guard) of the fled President Ghani, meanwhile, produced a video confirming, he said, the version that the president fled with the treasury. The Taliban are demanding the return of the stolen money, but it is doubtful that this will happen. And you have to pay the bills - Afghanistan owes $ 60 million for electricity to neighboring countries. The Taliban have come up with a blind move: they are selling houses and land of former government officials at auction, and the money goes to pay electricity bills. Some of the victims of the confiscation did not pay for electricity for decades - now they have to pay. 

Last week, Daesh (as the terrorists of IS ** are called here) made a huge explosion in the Kunduz mosque. About 100 people died. Why do Muslims blow up mosques? DAISH is a strange organization; neither Jews nor Israelis suffered from them. Therefore, in Palestine, they believe that ISIS was organized by Israeli intelligence. But they hate Shiites fiercely. Their main task is to sow discord among Muslims. And now they have fled to Afghanistan on the wings of Jihad Air (as the CIA air force is jokingly called, which airlifted jihadists from Iraq and Syria) to continue to sow discord and death.

“Ask the United States for help in the fight against Daesh,” advised Western journalists.

But the Taliban rejected this advice.

It is unlikely that American assistance will be effective - as long as the United States fights with Daesh, it only gets bigger.

The Taliban will do just fine on their own;

let the Americans just stay out of the way, they say.

The victims of the explosion are Hazara Shiites;

apparently, the enemies of independent Afghanistan hope to push them to enmity with the government.

No one is in a hurry with recognition.

The United States said the resumption of humanitarian aid had nothing to do with official recognition.

And Russia is in no hurry.

Although this is understandable, it would be high time to move on to the next stage of cooperation - to recognize the new government, ask the current residents of the Afghan embassy in Moscow to leave this building and ask the Taliban to send their embassy instead of the previous one.

The situation everywhere in the East is now so difficult that it makes no sense to raise requests specifically to the Taliban, who, at least, enjoy popular recognition.

An important Russia-China-Pakistan meeting on Afghanistan will take place this week.

Let's hope this meeting will lead to recognition.

** "Islamic State" (IS, ISIS) - the organization was recognized as terrorist by the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of December 29, 2014.
