Afghanistan is the pentacle of US Imperialism. Anyone anywhere
in the world can see the bullying that the US military establishments has to
offer. There is no tolerances for diversity of politics or ideology by the US.
This country spent millions of dollars, along with countless US lives, to prop
up and maintain a puppet regime. The regime has been set up to support American
interests (usually material resources).
It now seems apparent that the puppet regime does not have
the popular support it needs to fight off the Taliban and President Joe Biden
is now backing down on his promise to pull this country out of the war. He has conducted
air strikes against the Taliban for two weeks now.
I don’t like the Taliban, but they seem to be able to rally
enough support to overcome the US puppet troops. The mainstream press,
especially TV news, has been harsh on Biden for pulling out the troops. They
have also been relentless in their criticism of the Taliban. The seem to want
the US to remain in Afghanistan, maybe indefinitely.
We need to oppose and condemn all interference in that
country.
