US President speaks with Taliban leader for the first time in history

35

From Washington came reports that the US president spoke with the leader of the Taliban terrorist group (banned in the Russian Federation). This happened for the first time in stories. According to American media, a telephone conversation between Donald Trump and Baradar Akhund lasted about 35 minutes.

The information that Trump spoke with the Taliban leader was originally voiced by the Taliban. It was pointed out that the negotiations were held against the background of the agreements that were reached on February 29. Later, the fact of the conversation with Akhund was confirmed by Donald Trump himself. According to the American president, traditional for almost any of his talks, "there was a very good conversation."



Trump has confirmed his intention to completely withdraw US troops from Afghanistan in 2021. At the same time, the American president noted that the Taliban should adhere to strict agreements - in particular, to abandon attacks and hostilities.

It is important to note that just a day after the signing of the agreement, one of the Taliban forces carried out an attack on the territory of one of the Afghan provinces. This suggests that today the Taliban terrorist group, which appeared at the time with the direct assistance of US intelligence, is no longer single and controlled by one person. By and large, this is a lot of disparate groups, each of which has its own interests.

    If you want to live, you’ll not be so heated ...
    In general, all the works of the "Nobel peacemaker" - down the drain!
    But what should we do now? Trump at the UN raises the question of removing the title of terrorist from the Taliban. How should Russia vote?
    After all, this viper is in our "soft underbelly" ...

          In principle, the reincarnation of the Basmachis is possible, and in Afghanistan there are quite a few descendants of their undead. The question is how active they are today in the Taliban

      Accept the fact of the Taliban's victory over the United States and build relations with it as with a real political force in Afghanistan. In principle, Lavrov spoke about five years ago that it is necessary to ensure a dialogue with all the forces of Afghanistan in order to establish the peace process by political means, but then the mattresses began to squeal about the fact that Russia directly supports the Taliban and called for its condemnation. But as the saying goes, "not even 5 years have passed," the mattresses themselves asked the Taliban - "to understand, forgive and let go." So the Foreign Ministry will proceed from the existing texture. It is better to establish contacts directly than through Qatar or Pakistan.

      Ours through the embassy in Pakistan have long communicated with them. request The Taliban is closely linked to Pakistan’s intelligence services, and our relations with the Taliban are strongly linked to relations with Pakistan. If the Taliban is now removed from the list of terrorists at the UN, then they will be removed from our list. Well, after a year and a half, when the states leave Afghanistan, the Taliban will come to power.

    Why say that they are banned if they calmly flew to Moscow for negotiations?

        Another round of talks on a peaceful settlement in Afghanistan with the participation of representatives of the radical Taliban movement, recognized in Russia as a terrorist organization and banned, took place in Moscow on Tuesday.

        A Taliban delegation of 14 was led by Mullah Baradar Akhund. Prominent Afghan elders and politicians, including former President Hamid Karzai, became her negotiating partners. Among them, however, there were no official representatives of the Afghan authorities, since the Taliban did not agree to direct negotiations with them.

          Even the example of Syria shows that we are acting independently. The United States supported terrorists with both arms and fire support.
          Russia, together with the SAA, Iran and Hisbullah, is fighting those who are supported by the United States.
          Although in words, "we seem to be fighting terrorism together."

      It is necessary to somehow dodge the situation into which the states have gotten into trouble, but the main thing is to do everything in such a way that it is beautiful to crawl out of Afghanistan without disgrace to the whole world.

    US President speaks with Taliban leader for the first time in history

    Wow? It all depends on whose "testicles" are more solid: the president or the leader. There was a practice in history when kings went to "partnership" with pirates. I even know some that went on a “business partnership” with terrorists. Moreover, they handed them state powers and awards ... belay
    And here - "talked with the leader" ... I wanted to talk and talk, not all the time to talk with the presidents ... wassat

    The telephone conversation between Donald Trump and Baradar Ahund lasted about 35 minutes.
    35 minutes of complete satisfaction with yourself and your next "deal of the century". Obviously, 19 years of hanging out in Afghanistan left a mark on the thick skin of the Americans that they decided to come to an agreement with a terrorist group, even forgetting on what occasion they started the war in this country.

    The Taliban are fighting at home. According to the wording adopted by the West, they should be called "rebels".
    If we list the states for which the USA was bombed, the question arises of who the real terrorist is.
    What are Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and napalm and tetrachlorodibenzodioxin in Vietnam worth.

    The article could be titled something like this:
    President of the US terrorist state Donald Trump spoke by phone with the leader of the radical Taliban.
    Trump's decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan I approve.
    I wish Trump health and long life if he does not stop on Afghanistan, but expands the list of states that he will free from the presence of the US military.

    In 2018, Russia also spoke in Moscow with representatives of the Taliban. There was an attempt to protect Russian economic interests - to "rebuild" the infrastructure of Afghanistan. Something went wrong. It looks like the Americans made a better offer. Despite the fact that "the whole of Afghanistan fondly remembers the presence of Soviet troops on its territory," the Taliban decided to negotiate with the Americans.
    The last paragraph of the article - the stuffing of fog, clearly signaled in the helplessness of the Russian Foreign Ministry
