Why did the US abandon their allies in Afghanistan?
THE chaotic fleeing of the US shocked its Afghan collaborators and Western allies.
What happened? Why did the US flee Afghanistan?
Students of global politics know the US and its allies did not occupy Afghanistan for human rights and so on. The US was in the region for many reasons that did not include regional stability and peace.
For example, the US has built military bases across the world but especially around Iran and China for future war. Afghanistan was a chosen base from which chaos could be launched into Iran and China.
China and Iran are enemies of the US and its allies.
Iran threatens the oil-rich Sunni kingdoms under US control, and China is overtaking the US as the next global economic and military superpower.
The problem was the Taliban, which had made peace with Iran and China to ensure regional stability.
Years ago, former president Donald Trump said Russia paid the Taliban to kill American soldiers.
This was Russia’s proxy war and revenge on the US who paid the
Taliban to kill Russian soldiers back in the 1980s.
Afghanistan’s natural resources, which are worth trillions of dollars, and the rebuilding of Afghanistan was measured but the danger of the Taliban and the growing death toll on the US side was too much.
In reality, the US was fighting a proxy war against many enemies that remained hidden.
The British, Australians, Canadians and so on had a limited understanding of what was unfolding around them.
The many attempts to create regional chaos and instability had failed.
The attempt to create another stooge government had failed.
The Americans abandoned their allies because they had no will to fight any more.
The US’S last failed attempt was to inspire Afghan collaborators to fight the Taliban.
This would have created the chaos the which the US sought.
The same thing happened as the US exited Iraq, Syria, Vietnam, Korea and so on.
The problem was that Afghans had decided against stupidity.
The first person to admit this was the president of Afghanistan as he fled in terror from the Taliban to the Sunni kingdoms.
