Have you asked Russia?
Well, we do not control poppy plantations .. But we can pollinate them all with the filth from Il-76 .. We have the right!
We can also agree! And who will be right of us?

[Dmitry Donskoy]

They agreed that the US and NATO forces would be completely withdrawn and immediately wrote that 8600 would remain. Does it completely mean the contingent of 8600 remaining?

It is impossible to agree with the Taliban .. this structure is very heterogeneous and does not have clear control, for this reason, by the way, it also exists ..

[Shurik70]

First thought: "Shaw, again?"
Then I read the text of the contract.
The United States flees from Afghanistan (135 people will remain in 8600 days, all will flee in 14 months). The Taliban, in response, promised not to contact Al Qaeda (what about ISIS? Hezbalah, etc.)
Perhaps such an agreement can support all Taliban cells

[dauria]

US escapes from Afghanistan

They bought the safety of bases - airfields for a year. What paid - I do not know, they will not show the check to anyone. It will be seen further. It hurts a good place for a showdown with Iran and Pakistan.

[Kisa]

Quote: Svarog

It is impossible to agree with the Taliban.

It can be agreed with all, including the United States. Do not believe it, even with Ukraine. But here's a bad luck, a recent fashion, to fulfill their obligations, no one is going to. Russia alone is trying to keep its word, which is why the whole Western world (and not only) is laughing at it to the full. So it is with the Taliban. Signed and dispersed. The United States, for its part, will not fulfill its obligations, but the Taliban with its own. Everything is fair.

[Blackmokona]

You need to read carefully.
The first withdrawal step is to reduce to 8600 in 135 days.
The second step of the withdrawal is a reduction to zero within 14 months

[maxim947]

The rhetorical question - is this the time they will get everyone out? And to whom will they give control of drug trafficking? They won’t leave anywhere.

[cost]

to whom will they give control of drug trafficking?

Drugs are a cow milked by the Taliban
Propaganda has long spread the myth associated with the US invasion of Afghanistan, which is as follows: In the early 2000s, the Taliban suddenly for no reason decided to fight the production of drugs in Afghanistan and even banned the cultivation of opium poppy. Everything would be fine, but then suddenly the Americans invaded Afghanistan and drug production not only returned to its previous level, but also increased several times. From this, the conclusion is drawn - the Americans are to blame for everything.
In fact, it was not so at all. But the fact is that it was at this time that Afghanistan was struck by a terrible drought, resulting in a severe crop failure. Here it was no longer up to the poppy. The question was physical survival. Therefore, the Taliban were in great need of international assistance, especially American, but the Americans set a condition - to stop the production of opium poppy, and the Taliban, unexpectedly for all, fulfilled this condition. As a result, the Americans provided financial assistance to the Taliban, including in the form of compensations to the peasants for lost profits due to the cessation of poppy cultivation.
The amount of assistance for the Taliban at that time was huge - $ 43 million.
In short, the Americans simply paid the Taliban for stopping the production of drugs, and what happened next? And then the fun began.
All progressive mankind was delighted to be delighted that the Taliban had stopped producing opium, but few people noticed that despite a sharp decline in production, drug sales did not drop. the production only helped the Taliban sell these stocks at a much higher price, because as a result of the reduction in production, drug prices rose sharply. And when the drought ended, the drugs from the warehouses were sold out, the Taliban did not give a damn about all their previous bans and took up the old. Thus, the Taliban divorced Americans as suckers, while killing three birds with one stone:
- Received money from the Americans.
-Sell drugs from warehouses at a much higher price.
- Suckers all over the world believed that the Taliban are really struggling with drug production.
The widely publicized ban on opium poppy cultivation turned out to be nothing more than an illusion. Despite reports from the United States and the United Nations that the Taliban virtually destroyed poppy crops in 2000-2001, authorities in neighboring Tajikistan reported that the volumes passing through the border were actually growing. In fact, the Taliban issued their order to stop poppy cultivation just to raise the price of opium, which has already accumulated in warehouses

[maxim947]

interesting version, but I propose to look at it in an easier way.
For so many years, were the Americans capable of destroying all poppy plantations and killing all those associated with it, having a bunch of drones, satellites, etc. in service? the answer is definitely Yes, they did it - No, moreover, the volume of poppy has not decreased, and maybe even increased. So the conclusions suggest themselves - the reason is that they are in charge of this "business".

[mikstepanenko]

No, moreover, the volume of poppy has not decreased, and maybe even increased.
During the Taliban’s rule, the crops of opium poppy were almost completely destroyed. As the Americans came, the crops were not just restored, but increased hundreds of times.

[Blackmokona]

The Taliban planted every year, with the exception of the year of the invasion, with which everyone compares.

[Blackmokona]

While the USSR troops were in place, poppy plantations also grew. Therefore, they could not.

[Blackmokona]

So the Taliban will have complete control of drug trafficking and will remain, who grows according to your drug if the Americans do not control the country outside their bases and cities, but the Taliban control it?

[Alex Justice]

What about other countries, Australia, etc.? Do they stay?

[Sky strike fighter]

Over 135 days in Afghanistan, the coalition will be reduced to 8600 people. But after 14 months, these 8600 people will not remain in Afghanistan, because within this period the coalition is obliged to completely leave Afghanistan, that is, after a year and 2 months.

[4ekist]

This news is skeptical. Troops were also planning to withdraw from Syria.

[Lopatov]

Quote: Dmitry Donskoy

Does it completely imply a contingent of 8600 remaining?

Then they will be taken out.
They just don’t want it to be like fleeing.
They will see that excesses with the Taliban cleansing of local American allies do not leak into the press ...

Well, then they will declare all this their great victory in Afghanistan. Tea, not the first time.

[mikstepanenko]

There are more than 135 days in fourteen months.

[private person]

. But we can pollinate them all with muck from IL-76

They will knock them down on the approach as "two fingers on the asphalt" and will not blink an eye.

[cormorant]

If I am not mistaken, the Taliban are not very fond of these poppy plantations. So they are a lesser evil to us.

[ancestors from Don]

Nothing will change in Afghanistan, the clash and clash of clans amid the spread of drugs around the world. A huge criminal mistake was the decision of the Kremlin elders to send in Soviet troops, and the Americans understood this.

[Hypatius]

Maybe. However, the withdrawal of all troops, in the first place, was a doubly criminal "mistake". Secondly, the refusal to supply Najibullah with ammunition and diesel fuel, even for money. Thirdly, without noticing the Pakistani troops, in violation of treaties, they stormed Kabul with the militants. So, they complained in the news, about the tanks on the highway to Kabul, and that's it.

We agreed on drug trafficking)

[DMB 75]

According to official and unofficial data, the level of production and drug trafficking has increased more than 100 times compared to 2001, when the United States began to "fight" Afghan terrorists. In 2015, the production of drugs was about 3 tons, but this year, according to official statistics, it reached 300 tons.

[Nyrobsky]

The mattresses leave, but they still leave a splinter in the form of 8600 bayonets. In fact, the occupation of Afghanistan by the US forces is maintained, only by lesser forces.

[TermNachTer]

And what can these bayonets do? There were 150 thousand of them and could not, but these will stupidly sit out at the bases.

[Nyrobsky]

Quote: TermNachTER

And what can these bayonets do? There were 150 thousand of them and could not, but these will stupidly sit out at the bases.

There are now about 12 thousand of them. The Taliban are at the very least, but even so they expanded their control over the territory. Now the mattresses will be withdrawn 4 thousand, but in what way, the actions of the Taliban on the military impact on the occupying forces and the puppet government of "Kabulistan" will now be limited. It turns out that the mattresses with this agreement tied the hands of the Taliban and retained the ability to trouble themselves further, only with lesser forces.

[bouncyhunter]

Dima I will not talk about how the Taliban is fulfilling the agreements - I do not know. There is nothing to say about the loyalty of mattresses - everyone is in the know. But I think that this agreement is just a piece of paper: either on one or the other side it will be violated and fraudulent. Jackal and hyena ...

Greetings Pasha This is understandable, especially given the fact that the Americans have recently shown complete incapacity for negotiation and easily violate any agreements if it is in their interests. But most likely the Taliban themselves will adhere to the agreements reached, since they have a desire to change their status from a "terrorist organization" to an official political force and thereby consolidate their legitimacy in the international arena. They took the first step in this direction by forcing the mattresses to sit down at the negotiating table. They will be able to resume their anti-American activities in the event of violation of the provisions of the treaty by the Americans, and something suggests that mattresses will be the first to give this reason. One of the conditions of the treaty is that the Taliban must dissociate themselves from Al-Qaeda, but nothing is holding them back against the igiloids operating in Afghanistan, whom the Taliban consider to be the same occupiers, and they, as you know, were drawn there not without the help of mattresses. It turns out that the forced reduction of the Ishilov population may force the mattresses to act in violation of the agreement with the Taliban. Let's take a look.

The price of those contracts, even less than the paper on which they are written, because no one is going to fulfill them.

[TermNachTer]

Even according to the Qur'an, especially in life, the word given to kyafir has no meaning. So, the Taliban could even promise stars from the sky to mattresses. These promises will not be fulfilled anyway.

[knn54]

8600 military is an occasion to increase the number at any time.
And if you withdraw the entire contingent, and then return again, this is an invasion.
So there is a difference.

[seti]

This is just a strained smile at a bad game. They simply signed in their own impotence. Everyone understands that for 15 years the staff there has only lost, but in general, little has been achieved.

This is called surrender to the Taliban. The next Saudis are in line. (Yemen)

Dokha, February 29 - RIA Novosti. The agreement signed on Saturday in Qatar between the Afghan radical Taliban and the United States provides for a reduction in the number of US and coalition troops to 8,6 in 135 days and the complete withdrawal of foreign troops from the country in 14 months, an official told reporters after the signing ceremony.

They won’t go anywhere. The Taliban are also not homogeneous. Too many different tribes; the population there is too different. Most likely their association is temporary until staff members are removed. And they will leave for another 10 years .. While the Taliban are skimming the cream, but soon there will be internal bickering for them.

Topic for discussion. Then someone mentioned the "Kremlin elders" .... So in 1979, when they brought us into Afgan, Brezhnev was 73 years old, "Brezhnev" deployed troops along the borders and set the task of not letting anyone into the DRA and was not allowed. In 1986, the blocking of borders thanks to the actions (tactics of intercepting caravans) of the special forces began to give results - the situation in Afghanistan began to stabilize. Yeltsin, having betrayed Najibula at the request of the United States, once again returned Afghanistan to the abyss of anarchy and a hotbed of Islamic extremism. The USA - "White House young" (Bush Jr. was 2001 years old in 55) for 19 years has not been able to "bring democracy" and went to the "world" against whom and began the occupation of Afgan. So who was smarter - the "Kremlin elders" or "the young White House" ????

[cat Rusich]

February 15, 1989 Soviet troops withdrew from Afghanistan - December 25, 1991 the USSR collapsed ... the United States needs to be attentive to internal "troublemakers ". The simplest scenario (hypothetical) is the" attempt to overthrow "D.

In fact, there are now 5 forces in Afghanistan.

-This is the official government in Kabul, controlling Kabul and its environs. Completely on the content of the United States .. Like the army. The Taliban. Balochi Pashtuns gravitating towards Pakistan. Interested in control of Afghanistan. External expansion (Caliphate, etc.) is not interested. - ISIS. Newcomers and local. Evacuators from Syria and Iraq. Trying to root in Afghanistan. Meet the armed opposition of the Taliban and tribal units.
- Armed tribal formations of Afghan Tajiks and Uzbeks. USA. Practically control only the government in Kabul. The rest of the country is based on strong points. There is no control.
... Of course, the Taliban will not fulfill the agreement. But they are legitimized by the very fact of an agreement with the United States. They are now the subject of the world community .. The Americans laid a mine under the Kabul government. Afghanistan, as a formally single state, is no more. The era of the Greater Kipizh is approaching. It is necessary to maintain tribal formations and negotiate with the Taliban (for the purpose of removing ISIS from life.)
They will finish the Kabul pro-American hebr themselves - during the sluggish civil war.

Keep the borders of the Afghan cauldron closed. No civilizational raids - invasions. Such is the challenge facing Russia for decades.
