Indubbiamente la #democrazia non si esporta.
Ma la calca drammatica in aeroporto a #Kabul, le contestazioni per la 🇦🇫, la resistenza in #Panshir, la richiesta #SanctionPakistan testimoniano che il #TalibanTerror NON È L'AUTODETERMINAZIONE DI UN POPOLO.⤵️
L'#Afghanistan senza le forze occidentali torna a dividersi tra le varie etnie.

La cinquantennale guerra ingaggiata sul suo territorio tra URSS e USA ha prodotto i #Taliban, prima finanziati dagli USA in chiave antisovietica e poi dalla Russia in chiave antiamericana. Col placet interessato del #Pakistan in chiave antiindiana ⤵️

Outlets from @BBCNews to @SkyNews on #Taliban in #Afghanistan describe how #ShariaLaw curtails #WomensRights

This is *false*.

We present the #Caliph of the #Ahmadiyya #Muslim Community from #JalsaUK 2021 on how the #Shariah of #Islam PROTECTS women's rights

👇THREAD
The Caliph's extraordinary speech from #JalsaUK covering the various aspects of the #Shariah on women's rights can be found in full here:

Below we will review key aspects he highlighted... /1
From the outset, the #Caliph explained that the current notion of "freedom" increasingly pushed in the West is no more than slavery to one's base desires /2

Zum Teil wird scharf in die Menschenmenge geschossen.
Meistens sind es US-Soldaten, die hier Waffen anwenden, um die Menschenmassen aufzuhalten oder Startfelder zu räumen, damit Flugzeuge starten können.
Die Rede ist von rund 10 Toten.

To all my American friends. Taliban is merely a tool in the hands of the enemy. #Pakistan is the enemy creating chaos that we are seeing today. Thats their ticket to relevance. Chaos makes them relevant for you. #Afghanistan #AfghanistanBurning

2) They harbored the Taliban and waited for the day you left to sow chaos and become relevant once more. Their economy is in shambles and they are on grey list of terrorism task force. They had to have a bargaining chip. Chaos followed.
3) Listen to your own officers on ground. He lost 17 of his men to Taliban terrorists coming over from Pakistan

From mom @maureen_orth 2002: No matter who controls #Afghanistan, its opium crop- 70% of world's supply-is creating narco-societies the author discovers the extent of the region's drug corruption, which may prove more destructive than any terrorist threat archive.vanityfair.com/article/2002/3…
Nothing has really changed since then. With the USA leaving, the drug routes just become easier for nefarious actors using the guise of religion to control and keep the country in a permanent state of paralysis.

In 2005, I wrote a piece in a now defunct publication, arguing that those who believed that the invasion & occupation of #Iraq & #Afghanistan had been ‘an disaster’ were misunderstanding the thinking of those who took us to war

For them it was a success.

Die Armee zieht sich nach #Kabul zurück. Dort wird es schon in den nächsten Tagen zum Showdown kommen.
Dass die Zentralregierung überlebt, glaubt mittlerweile niemand mehr.

Lots of Tory MPs and Republicans handwringing about #AfghanistanBurning right now. Some Labour MPs joining in. Some of these lamentations are aimed at Biden. Others bewail a more general ‘betrayal of Afghan women’/wasted British and U.K. sacrifice/NATO failure etc
No acknowledgement of the strategic failures that were obvious - to those who wanted to look - long before the collapse of the Afghan state. Or the horrific damage inflicted on Afghanistan by so many countries in the savage geopolitical competition for Mackinder’s ‘heartland’
Let’s go back to March 17 1979. The Soviet Politburo meets to discuss the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan, where the USSR’s communist allies are savagely suppressing and Islamist insurrection in Herat. Foreign minister Andrei Gromyko explains the situation

-any shame or guilt?

-ongoing AngloSaxon supremacy like this👇🏻
Western Supremacy Ideas
