[See news from China on August 17, 2021]August 15, North America time,Afghanistan TalibanThe armed forces announced the occupation of the capital Kabul. At the beginning of July, regarding fears that Afghanistan would have an ending similar to Vietnam, Biden replied that there would be no embarrassing withdrawal of US personnel in Afghanistan. The reality was worse than Biden expected. . have to say,U.SThe dilemma of the withdrawal from Vietnam was repeated in Afghanistan.
Twenty years ago, the United States suffered the most serious terrorist attack. The then President George W. Bush issued a television announcement and issued an ultimatum to the Taliban regime in Afghanistan that provided refuge to al-Qaeda. After receiving no satisfactory answer, Bush declared war on the Taliban. Although the U.S. military quickly defeated the Taliban and liberated the entire territory of Afghanistan, the U.S. invests huge financial and material resources in Afghanistan every year. It now seems that 20 years of painstaking efforts have ended up being nothing.
Let alone whether the Afghan government can’t afford to support Adou, first of all, the US military’s attack on the Taliban during the withdrawal period can be said to be the last one, and it did not play any role at all. Furthermore, the decapitation tactics adopted during Trump’s (Trump) era seemed to be shelved on the battlefield in Afghanistan, and did not exert much deterrent effect.
In addition, the U.S. intelligence agency claimed that even if the U.S. forces withdrew, the Afghan government forces would be able to last for at least three months. Seeing that the situation took a turn for the worse, they later changed their words and said they could last for a month. The reality is that the Taliban swept across Afghanistan in just one week, and at this time the US military had not completely withdrawn. The Taliban even besieged the U.S. military at Kabul International Airport. The defeat of the U.S. military in Afghanistan directly affected the United States’ global leadership.
The decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan was due to the Trump era. After Biden took over, he withdrew from a place. As the commander-in-chief of the three services, Biden must have an unshirkable responsibility regardless of his strategic deployment and intelligence gathering. The Biden administration claimed that it entered Afghanistan to combat al-Qaeda. This mission has now been completed. To put it bluntly, it is unwilling to compare Afghanistan with Vietnam. Fleeing Vietnam in a hurry has been an eternal pain for the United States, and it is a pity that it is painful again.
Bush attacked Afghanistan to fight against terrorism. Even if Al Qaeda was eliminated, Afghanistan would still be a hotbed of terrorists. This has led the United States to be trapped in it for as long as 20 years. The Biden administration said that the goal in Afghanistan has been achieved, but after the Taliban occupy Afghanistan, terrorism is in danger of rising. From this point of view, the Afghan war is still a failure. Instead of shirking its responsibilities, the current US government is better to reflect on it and need to advance. Beware of all kinds of unexpected events in the future.
Of course, it is not only the fault of the United States that the situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated to such a degree. The Afghan government and the Afghan people are also responsible. The Americans have brought money and weapons. The 300,000 government troops with American equipment are the Taliban that cannot defeat 70,000 people. It is better to say that the Taliban did not encounter decent resistance during the war. It is said that the Taliban did not encounter resistance. The Taliban are like no one. There is no war, it is simply reaping the territory.
Unfortunately, in the face of American occupation, Afghanistan has had the opportunity to replicate the success of Japan, South Korea, and Germany. Unfortunately, for 20 years, Afghanistan has been missing good opportunities. The fundamental reason is that if people don’t want to change, they can only pass by all kinds of opportunities. It is a pity that the United States has long been taken advantage of, and taxpayers’ money has gone into the pockets of corrupt people.
The former fool just fell, and the latter immediately made up for it. It’s just that the later takers were both evil and stupid. At the beginning of the year, the head of the Burmese army went to the mainland, and Burma’s democratic politics overturned overnight. Then the Taliban went to the mainland again and received high-level reception by the CCP. After returning to Afghanistan, the Taliban became a climate. 80% of people with a little bit of intelligence can guess that the CCP is behind it. The CCP has really spared no effort to contain the United States. There is no bottom line to the fact that all monsters and gods must be useful and they must all support it. The CCP’s support for the Taliban can be said to be stupid. There are no decent friends. As a result, it still associates with terrorists and thinks that its reputation is not bad enough.
In addition, before the CCP supports the Taliban, can you review it first? You must know that the U.S. also supported the Taliban at first, but now the Taliban has deflated the U.S. Regardless of how the Taliban has assured the CCP, the goal of the Taliban is to establish a caliphate in Central Asia. The Taliban can turn their faces faster than a book. The first one to clean up after they settle down is probably the CCP’s little brother Pakistan. The CCP shares borders with Afghanistan and Pakistan. The CCP’s support for the Taliban is equivalent to drawing wolves into the house.
The United States will certainly know what role the CCP has played in this process, which has virtually accelerated the CCP’s timetable towards the end. The CCP seems to embarrass the U.S. by playing chicken thieves, and it will eventually pay back the profits.
