Erdogan and Biden agree: Turkey will provide security for Kabul airport after NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan

Turkey will remain in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of the US and NATO military contingent and will provide security for the Kabul airport. This was announced in the White House administration.

The American and Turkish leaders managed to agree on the terms of the Afghan mission of Turkey, and now the issue is considered resolved. This was confirmed by Joe Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan. According to the agreements, the Turkish military will provide security for the Kabul airport after the withdrawal of the US and NATO troops from Afghanistan.

Earlier, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar announced such a possibility. According to him, the Turkish military needs funding and material support for the mission in Kabul. Apparently Erdogan convinced Biden to highlight all this if such statements followed. Although before that Washington doubted the positive outcome of the negotiations, the Turks had too high demands.

(...) President Erdogan made it clear that support is needed, and President Biden said that this support will be provided ... There is a commitment that Turkey will play a key role in the security of Hamid Karzai Airport

- stated in the White House.

Despite the agreement, the United States is working on several backup options to ensure the security of the Kabul airport in case Turkey fails.

Meanwhile, the Afghan Taliban * movement (banned in Russia) opposed the presence of the Turkish military at the Kabul airport. The Taliban are demanding that the Turks also leave the country under the withdrawal agreement signed last year, since Turkey is also a NATO member state.

They agreed, and who will take into account the interests of the organization that is prohibited on the territory of Russia ????

[Lech from Android.]

Everyone will have to negotiate with the Taliban when they take power in Afghanistan ... the Turks will be no exception.

[Murmur 55]

The question here is not whether Erdogan's head was "spinning" after Karabakh? And then, on the wave of success, he will start waving a saber, but this does not work with Afgan.

[Lech from Android.]

It began to spin unambiguously, like the guys from Azerbaijan ... lately they have been behaving in a boorish way and their impudence has increased.

[Murmur 55]

Well, no one is upsetting, so they become foolish, the appetite during meals not only comes, it grows.

And what does Erdogan's head have to do with it? The Azerbaijani people won, not the Turkish people. Erdogan only gave support. They paid for all the equipment in money.

to wave a saber and with Afgan this does not work.

The Taliban will agree with the Turks otherwise, the Karabakh video will help them.

[Vend]

First, Britain broke off its teeth on Afghanistan, then the USSR, then the United States, Turkey also decided to take a vicious path. Well, come on, the same crisis awaits you ahead of you, like its predecessors.

[TermNachTer]

How are they going to "keep" the airport if it is being fired upon from near heights? And if there are Taliban in Kabul, then this is generally nonsense.

[knn54]

-USA is working on several fallback options
"He flew away, but he promised to return" ...

[Murmur 55]

Iraq is an example, going in and out. Only for the Iraqis it got worse, although who cares about their wishlist.

[Lech from Android.]

Woe to the vanquished.

[Gunther]

The Taliban themselves will take into account their interests - they are good at it, they have already warned the Turks that as a member (as if the moderator did not ban) NATO, they must leave Afghanistan.
given the nature of Rejeperdogan, they will not be abandoned, only feet forward, which the Taliban will provide for them.
ps
Taliban is an organization banned on the territory of Russia, with representatives of which Lavrov officially handled in the Kremlin:

Erdogan has a trump card - good relations with Pakistan.
He also has a situation where he has to run constantly.
Alas, he cannot stop. Plans will begin to crumble.
He really needs money, so he is trying to sell the United States influence and the ability to negotiate with both Pakistan and Russia.
The F-35B is also badly needed - the aircraft carrier was built, and there is really nothing to plant on it. Etc.
But the fact that it will be very difficult for him in Afghanistan is obvious.
It's not easy for anyone there. Let's see how it turns.

[tralflot1832]

Well, the next one was drawn, who stepped on the Afghan rake.

[rotmistr60]

I wonder why Erdogan needed the Kabul airport? Has the international drug business really decided to control it? The Taliban are not happy with Erdogan's plans, which means it is possible and even likely that the Turks will not be entirely comfortable. Maybe this is for the best?

[Murmur 55]

Of course for the best !!! The more such swarms far from Russia, the better.

[Wolf]

One of the main streams of NARCOTE goes through Turkey for a long time and under the control of MI6 and the CIA. So good are the business in Sultana.

[TermNachTer]

It makes no sense to "hold" the airport itself, everything is shot from nearby heights. If "keeping" Kabul with the environs is how much manpower and resources are needed. The navel will not be untied?))))

[Wolf]

Dengue is good and something else. The Sultan is not worried about the life of the askers (soldiers). In which case, right from the airport home, the Taliban have no air defense. The Sultan has a shelter for the traders.

[Murmur 55]

Why do they need air defense? In my non-professional opinion, it is enough to destroy the runway and the airfield will sharply lose in value, no ???

[Wolf]

You can escape by plane when there is no air defense, therefore, it is not possible to destroy the runway so quickly, and there are enough slaves to build the runway.

[TermNachTer]

There is a cool thing - MANPADS))) on the approaches to Kabul it is very effective, the heights are suitable there)))

Tell this to the Armenians, who have felt for themselves what it is like not to have air defense against Turkish drones, and as practice has shown, no camouflage in the mountains in the caves will help them.

[tralflot1832]

Stingers do not turn sour over time. And no one has canceled RPG 7 during takeoff and landing!

[Wolf]

When NATO democratized Afghanistan, there is no longer a supply of Stingers, and RPGs are not so effective against aircraft?

[Murmur 55]

Wolf what if you damage something vital at the airport or with an ATGM with an RPG?

[tralflot1832]

Then what, the beards shot down the reconnaissance plane, along with the crew, then the coordinator for the operation against Bin Laden seemed to have died.

[Murmur 55]

So I'm talking about that "swinging" mortar in a pickup truck, hello tayota, a couple of DRGs with RPGs, and the airport deteriorated a little.

Bayraktars cannot be destroyed by stingers, and even more so with RPG7.

[tralflot1832]

The Americans also thought that they won in Afghanistan sitting on the bases, and did not stick their noses out. And their range of weapons is more abrupt than that of the Turks. As I understand it, Erdogan wants to beg for access to an old body and stay with his people.

I agree. Only the Turks will not sit. They enter Iraq and destroy the PKK (Kurdish terrorists), and they also destroy their enemies in Syria. Plus they are being destroyed in Libya.

While fortune smiles at him.

[Albay]

Turkey has good relations with the Taliban and their suppressors. Turkey has been participating in the coalition since day one, and during all this time the Taliban have never attacked the Turkish contingent. Not a single soldier was injured.

[askort154]

Erdogan's vanity has no boundaries. He naively thinks that he will stay in Afghanistan. Turkey has been fighting unsuccessfully for decades with the Kurds, and the Taliban are "cooler" than the Kurds. Afghanistan tried
catch the British, the USSR, the USA, but all left there with nothing, having lost thousands of their soldiers.

The main thing is not to ask Russia for help later.

[Wolf]

The Sultan does not think that he will hold out but dengue and the rest is more attractive. How long they will be at the airport is a different matter, and the cost of holding the airport will increase every month.

[Wolf]

The organization is banned by the Taliban, but during the reign of the Taliban, RESKO DROPPED THE PRODUCTION OF DRUGS IN AFGHANISTAN !!! It was enough for NATO to democratize Afghanistan. Good business is always associated with democracy

[donavi49]

Well, ANA is falling apart even faster than the democratizers are leaving. Mass desertion, flight and surrender.

The Karabakh war suggests that, having no air defense drones against Turkish drones, they are doing very badly and no camouflage in the mountains will help them. Moreover, the Turkish special forces will quickly deal with them. They are far from lashars.

[Primipilus]

Do you think the US had bad drones and their special forces were lousy. All NATO could do nothing, but will the "great" Turkey, led by the maddened sultan, be able to?

[Patigorsk2020]

There is truth in your words, but small Azerbaijan showed the world the war of drones, the use of corn workers as detecting air defense. Is not it? You must know how to use a weapon.

Quote: Primipilus

The facts in Libya in Syria in Iraq speak for themselves.

[Primipilus]

That is, you declare that the United States and NATO as a whole (which includes Turkey) do not know how to use weapons ... Karabakh is not an indicator here at all, there has never been and there is no partisan war (the most difficult war). As for Libya and Syria, Haftar and Assad occupy strong positions and the sultan will not overthrow them. And in Iraq (after the US leaves) Iran will run everything. And you are also talking about small Azerbaijan, compared to Armenia, it is still quite large.

[Albay]

This is vanity, but pragmatism. Turkey has been participating in the coalition for a long time and there has not been one attack on their contingent and not one soldier has been injured over the years.

And the flag is in their hands, let the oholonut a little, otherwise they think about themselves.

[Yves762]

For example, Erdogan is interested in everyone's traffic through (b), and not "the happiness of the working people" (local).
I do not know what is there about "conquering", but you can "buy" Afghanistan.?.

[Wolf]

Have you already selected about the conquest, will you buy about it? One person here said, but the Taliban don't need anything, not even electricity?

[Murmur 55]

But not for long, history shows Afghans gladly accept a "donkey with gold" but they are in no hurry to open the gates, cunning people.

[Wolf]

Is it strange that Biden didn’t offer the Blackwaters to hold the airport or they only work when it’s necessary to kill civilians?

[letovvany]

That is, NATO is withdrawing troops, but not all. Turkey is a NATO member. It turns out that NATO is not going anywhere.
