Kabul frees thousands of Taliban prisoners under US pressure

Washington has repeatedly been seen in special relations with radical Islamist movements. This time the Americans "distinguished themselves" by the fact that under pressure from the United States last year Kabul released several thousand prisoners of the Taliban (representatives of the Taliban terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation).

This was reported by the Wall Street Journal.

At first, the Afghan authorities refused to release the radicals, but the Americans insisted on their release. Militants from the Afghan Taliban movement banned in Russia were released on parole. They promised that they would no longer pick up weapon against government forces. Naturally, most of the five thousand released prisoners went to fight again. Among them was one of the militant commanders Mawlavi Talib. He is now leading a radical offensive against the center of Helmand province, the city of Lashkar Gah.

These liberated Taliban play a key role in Helmand. In the ranks of the Taliban * they are one of the most violent terrorists

- said the representative of the Afghan Ministry of Defense Fawad Aman.

Earlier, the former head of the British intelligence service MI6, Alex Younger, suggested that after the withdrawal of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan, not only the Taliban, but also representatives of some international extremist organizations, will become active there. First of all, he thinks, these can be fighters of the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda terrorist groups (both are banned in the Russian Federation).

Apparently, the release of this part of the Taliban was one of the conditions for the smooth exit of the Americans and their allies from Afghanistan.

Here you hit the spot !!!

[KAV]

The Amerzians simply throw firewood into the fire so that it does not go out. Nothing new. Well, Kabul, as their protégé, of course succumbed to pressure. Everything is as always and everywhere. They leave the fire pouring gasoline on everything ...

[Vol4ara]

The article forgot to mention that the Taliban also released prisoners, although it seems like 1000 in total

[Cananecat]

Released last year, and the troops withdrew this. Where is the connection?

[Alexander Seklitsky]

Well, nothing surprising. The American girls are kindling a new fire, supporting the opposing sides.

[rocket757]

Business muddy or "humane" go figure it out. Most likely an agreement.

[The leader of the Redskins]

I agree. But the official government does not like such a turn ...

[rocket757]

And when were the Yankees with their .... protégés considered?
They have their own games and they don't give a damn about everyone else.
However, they are not alone .... typical for any big boss!

[knn54]

- the former head of the British intelligence service MI6 Alex Younger SUGGESTED that after the withdrawal of US and NATO troops in Afghanistan, not only the Taliban, but also representatives of some international extremist organizations will become active there.
Rather, he expressed hope.

[rocket757]

Peace, Mia, and even more so dermocracy will not be there ... all sorts of variegated movements, alliances, just gangs ... well, that's as usual.
This is always the case when there is no one overwhelming force!

[napalm]

As Napoleon would say, it was a great chess move. With one departure. America has created tension: Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, etc. And through them, if further expressed in chess terms, bound Russia. Plus China, which is also forced to look at the black elephant that beats in its direction.

[Runoway]

America created tension

What are the tensions on our borders, is it time to rock the boat BLM

[Suraikin.Aleksandr]

Our Foreign Ministry and responsible for the Afghan direction Zamir Kabulov convince everyone of the opposite. That the Taliban and IS are enemies, and that al-Qaeda has become too small and unable to provide serious military support to the Taliban!
And in general it is good that the northern provinces of Afghanistan on the border with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were captured by the Taliban, Russia will be better and calmer!

Although all the others say the opposite, the opposite, that the military successes of the Taliban in recent years are connected precisely with the active support of Islamist terrorist groups!

Anyway, here's a vivid example of what the Taliban's word really is!

Yes, most likely they were bargaining, we just received the United States from the Taliban, we do not know ...

[rocket757]

This is all pof .... the question is, what are our interests, concerns, problems in that direction ???

[cniza]

So I’m talking about what if the barmales promised the United States to rush to Central Asia, etc.

[rocket757]

The barmaleevs have enough worries inside the country ... this is for a long time.

[cniza]

Let's not guess, soon everything will become obvious ...

[rocket757]

It seems to me that soon we will understand that this is for a long time ...

[cniza]

So it seems that this is understandable, since the end of the last century they have no peace ...

[riwas]

The United States loves to cooperate with terrorists (Bin Laden, ISIS), because they themselves are, but they will not succeed with the Taliban.

[rocket757]

Naglobrittes generally CREATE all sorts of different ones, to fulfill their plans .... sometimes created, kicks up and begins to bite its creators!

Kabul frees thousands of Taliban prisoners under US pressure

The action is akin to a leak from a bacteriological laboratory. Why not? It's in the Russian underbelly. This is our "American help" for you, gentlemen partners.
Maybe I'm hesitating, but the attitude of the Russian Federation was decisive and not ambiguous:
Russia threatened the Taliban with "big losses" if it poses a security threat to its allies

There's nothing you can do. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices and release criminals and murderers with blood in your hands.

On June 25, 2006, a soldier Gilad Shalit was abducted from the territory of Israel by terrorist organizations (permitted in the Russian Federation) - the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigade, Popular Resistance Committees and the Army of Islam. For years he was held hostage by the Hamas movement.

On October 18, 2011, after five years and four months in prison, Gilad was released and handed over to his compatriots in a deal in exchange for 1027 Palestinian prisoners convicted by an Israeli court on terrorism charges and the murder of about 600 Israelis.
They were also released on parole. They promised not to engage in terrorist activities anymore.
Most of them returned to their old business. Many of them were caught again and ended up in prisons ...

[A. Privalov]

Clarification. The "Army of Islam" terrorist group that kidnapped Gilad Shalit in 2006 is not "Jaysh al-Islam" (banned in the Russian Federation) created only in 2013.

[Avior]

The Taliban were released in exchange for government forces captured by the Taliban. It was an attempt to achieve agreement in Afghanistan. Its experience has shown that such agreements with the Taliban do not work and are carried out only as long as it is beneficial for the Taliban. Now China and Russia are aiming at the same rake.

[rocket757]

Experience suggests that it is not uncommon to arrange agreements and carry them out only until it is profitable ... it is not at all uncommon in our world.
Few of the significant ones, we can say that they are faithful to the given promises, the given word.
Well, we will not remember about the era of knights, zhentelmen, officers, gentry ...... alas, alas, those times are in the past.

[Avior]

At one time, treaties were sealed with oaths of a religious nature, and perjury was definitely not approved, but even then they were violated very often.
Now contracts are fulfilled only if they are supported by strength, reputation, mutual benefit - religious vows have long ceased to matter

[rocket757]

When then then, the same happened DIFFERENTLY!
Restraining, binding factors were somewhat more than now and than those that, at least somehow, now play a deterrent role for the oath of criminals.
Man is such ... such a creature, complex.

[Avior]

I think, both then and now, reputation was of great importance - if it exists, of course.

[rocket757]

Reputation .... if then, it was not so noticeable, now, some of them DESIGNATE THEIR REPUTATION, when they have the strength, ability and desire to shut up / crush any opinion, except for their own, the ONLY RIGHT one.
What we now see.

[Avior]

Then it was not so noticeable, since the information slowly reached
Now everything is in sight

[rocket757]

Well, yes, the age of information accessibility.
Conventionally, of course, but "an awl in a sack" is harder to hide.

[Suraikin.Aleksandr]

For a contingent of Islamists like the Taliban! Promises, oaths given to infidels can be disregarded, deliberate lies are permissible to achieve the goal! They perceive the government of Afghanistan at about the same level!

[Max PV]

Burn-burn-it’s clear not to go out!

[cniza]

These liberated Taliban play a key role in Helmand. In the ranks of the Taliban * they are one of the most violent terrorists

That's the whole essence of the United States ...

[Suraikin.Aleksandr]

Not only the US, but the Taliban! This is what the words of the matured Taliban are really worth, with whom, as our Foreign Ministry assures, you can negotiate!

[rotmistr60]

Kabul frees thousands of Taliban prisoners under US pressure

I just want to ask the Americans: "On whose side are Messrs." Democrats "playing?" Although it is clear who and why. And this country is still trying to teach others how to live properly.

[Suraikin.Aleksandr]

Then the Republican administration headed by Trump was in power.
But in essence, this does not change Trump was for the most part the same systemic president as the others, with the traditional Republican push for isolationism, protectionism and the right wing!
