With regard to Afghanistan, the dust has settled today. In 819, good friday in the Soviet Union, the Taliban officially declared its statehood. And from beginning to end, Afghanistan was inextricably linked to the Soviet Union. Even the current Afghan issue is, in the final analysis, the result and continuation of the fierce ideological struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.
In the early 1970s, with the withdrawal of the United States from Vietnam, the situation of the entire Cold War began to change, becoming a situation in which the Soviet Union attacked the United States and defended. At the same time, the liberation movements of the vast number of peoples in Asia, Africa and Latin America have also promoted secular reforms in the countries of the Middle East, including Afghanistan.
As early as the 1960s, a part of the Afghan aristocracy, represented by Prince Daoud, further proposed to imitate the Soviet line, collectivize the countryside and engage in large-scale industry in the cities, so as to rapidly transform Afghanistan into a modern country.
Even after the Soviet invasion, it still "stubbornly" began women's liberation, agrarian revolution, education, and secularization of religion in Afghanistan according to the example of his big brother, with the intention of forcibly transforming Afghanistan into a modern state according to the socialist model. Notwithstanding this, it is not possible to conceal the fact that the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and practiced hegemonism.
However, at that time, when the entire Islamic world in the Middle East began to try to secularize one by one under the influence of socialism and get rid of Western control, it had an extremely negative impact on the strategic situation of the United States. These secularized countries wanted to develop their own national economies and oppose imperialism, and for a time the U.S. military had only one pawn, Israel, to use.
In order to fight socialism, the United States on the one hand united with Israel to physically eliminate countries that tried to secularize. Those that cannot be eliminated for the time being are also blockades, air raids, and constantly bleeding you to stop your development. On the other hand, the Americans began to study Islam, and eventually turned out the Wahhabis who were not hurt by their grandmothers and uncles at that time, and based on this "modernization" of The ideology of Islam on the basis of which the United States needed.
And now Chinese the name "fundamentalism" on the Internet, which was only concocted by the CIA in the 1970s, and what was originally half of the responsibility of the United States is now completely embellished as a problem of the Islamic world itself. When the United States, together with Israel, blocked the way for the development of the islamic world's countries to modernity, it also caused the root cause of today's problems in the Middle East.
Of course, it cannot be said that it is completely useless, and under the influence of the religious ideas concocted by the United States, the combat effectiveness of the Islamic conservative forces has thus been greatly enhanced, and while gaining the ability to compete with the socialist ideas of the Soviet Union, it has also embarked on a road of gradual extremization. In the 1970s, Americans used this idea in refugee camps in Pakistan to brainwash Afghans who came to be the Taliban and Al-Qaida.
While arming the mind, the United States has not forgotten military assistance. Subsequently, the Afghan guerrillas received a steady stream of American aid and began a security war with the Soviet Union, causing the cost of the Soviet occupation to continue to rise. Omar, the founder of the Taliban, was one of these anti-Soviet guerrillas. The infamous bin Laden period was also among them. That's why First Blood 3 is about Rambo going deep into Afghanistan to help the "guerrillas" fight the Soviet invaders. Finally, in the ending, a subtitle such as "This film is dedicated to the heroic Afghan people" is also expressed.
In 1989, a decade after the invasion of Afghanistan, the Soviet Union withdrew its troops as smoothly as the United States did in Vietnam. It collapsed two years later. It also meant the official defeat of the secular forces represented by the Soviet Union and the conservative forces supported by the United States. Afghanistan entered the Taliban regime.
Contrary to traditional impressions, the Taliban did not emerge until 1994. In order to support the Taliban, the United States not only personally received its representatives at the beginning of the Taliban's rise, but also actively promoted the draft arms embargo in Afghanistan and blocked the military supply of the "Northern Alliance". In Afghanistan, many commanders in the south have defected to the Taliban because of their slogans of rooting out warlords, rebuilding the country, opposing corruption, and restoring commerce. By 1996, the Taliban had taken control of the capital, Kabul, and more than 90 percent of the country's territory.
But the United States finally confirmed that sentence, telling it to lift a stone and drop it on its own feet. The head of the Taliban, Omar, turned out to be an extreme anti-American. Not only did he call bin Laden a brother and sister to mix oil, but he also took in al-Qaida. In this way, bin Laden became the "guest of honor" and close comrade-in-arms of the Taliban regime. During this period, the situation in Afghanistan turned into a struggle between anti-American forces and the United States.
After the 9/11 incident, the United States sent troops to Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, after the Taliban refused to hand over al-Qaida suspects. In the decade that followed, the Taliban and al-Qaida continued to cooperate, one fighting guerrillas with the U.S. military and the other engaging in "terrorist attacks" against the West. The United States, on the other hand, had to support the "Northern Alliance", which had previously cut off its own military aid, to come to power.
It wasn't until 2011 that bin Laden was killed. After bin Laden's death, divisions arose within the Taliban, and some Taliban members began to reject al-Qaida. By 2013, Omar had been killed by U.S. forces, and the divisions between the two sides began to grow. In early 2019, the Taliban officially and publicly stated that they would no longer cooperate with Al-Qaida. The two sides began to be old and dead...
However, the situation in Afghanistan has not gotten any better. After the comprador group represented by the "Northern Alliance" came to power, it staged a living picture of the Republic of China. Allowing foreign products to be dumped at home and squeezing national enterprises has directly led to an avalanche of indigenous ethnic enterprises in Afghanistan. Except for a very small number of cultural elites who can enjoy American resources as model tools, the vast majority of the population is unemployed. The upper echelons can be described as poor and extravagant, such as President Doni's nephew, who soon became the richest man after becoming the minister of transport. Fly to Dubai on your own private jet before the Taliban enter Kabul, and don't forget to show off on Twitter before leaving.
The Afghan government's security forces, which the United States has spent heavily to build, theoretically number more than 300,000, including the army, air force and police. The full set of U.S. equipment can be described as well-equipped. As a result, the actual number of people was only 50,000, and the rest were eaten empty. Many "two-faced people" who were originally switching back and forth between government forces and the Taliban simply turned against the wind before the Taliban came.
From the beginning to the end, it is the United States that supports the Taliban, it is the United States that assists Afghanistan, it is the United States that attacks the Taliban, it is the United States that abandons Afghanistan, and it is the United States that finally recognizes the Taliban.
But on the Internet, there are always people who come out to educate Chinese how evil the Taliban are. I'm curious what does this have to do with us? We didn't do anything? It was as if we Chinese supported the Taliban. China didn't drop a single soldier, a shot, a bullet here, and then some people inexplicably wanted To make China carry the pot.
According to their logic, we met with the Taliban in Tianjin and became sinners, so wouldn't the United States, which supported the Taliban, have to cut itself off to thank the world? After thinking about it, I still added a mouthful of evil in my heart: Can't laugh at home when it sees the United States eating up? America is your dad?
