"Americans abandon their own": the United States got rid of the unprofitable asset in the form of Afghanistan

“The Americans are leaving their own people” is one of the conclusions that can be drawn against the background of what has happened and is happening in Afghanistan in recent days.

Various kinds of experts today express their opinions on Afghan "everyday life". At the same time, opinions are often diametrically opposed. However, the trend is still evident: even in those expert circles and large media outlets, where it was decided to unconditionally support any actions of the White House, today critical notes slip through. And from the side of opponents of the policy of the American administration, a whole cannonade of criticism is heard, up to calls for Joe Biden to resign.

One of the issues being discussed today: has the United States lost its image of a superpower after the inglorious end of the Afghan campaign? Some experts are sure of this, others urge not to get ahead of ourselves and not try to pass off wishful thinking.

Undoubtedly, for the Western world, today's American withdrawal from Afghanistan looks like a reason to think about whether the United States is ready to “support” its other partners as well as “supported” the Afghans? Will it not turn out that at one fine moment the Americans will pack up their things and leave other places, where, it would seem, they have settled seriously and for a long time?
But there is also an opinion that nothing special has happened for the American Empire. She simply got rid (on time or late) of an asset that has ceased to bring economic profit and political dividends. That's all. Now the US will try to find another asset to bet on.

Nothing personal just business...

Bad business .. It only means that mattress makers were kicked out of Central Asia for a long time .. If not forever. And that means - kirdyk grandiose plans. China will clearly establish itself firmly in Afghanistan, therefore, it is entering the border with Iran. With all the consequences .. I will not be surprised if soon there and the piece of iron will reach.

"Americans abandon their own": the United States got rid of the unprofitable asset in the form of Afghanistan

... Eka is unprecedented .... "ours, strangers", there is only intErEsy of the ruling elite, and the rest is all lyrics.

[LAWNER]

And I am interested in where they have transferred the liberated troops. Where were almost a hundred thousand of their Afghan adherents evacuated? Where, and who will get the foreign exchange reserves of Afghanistan? ..... So it is premature to say that the Americans have thrown something. And about the weapons they threw there. It will start shooting somewhere.

And yet the Americans did what they wanted. And I think many will never know which process this particular event was part of. American strategists should pay tribute to the fact that, as in a separate article, it was noted that the Russian tank was maneuvering, and the Turkish was standing. So the Americans do what they think is necessary, while the rest are in a state of confusion.

I agree.
Let's imagine for a second that the events in Afghanistan were not in the slightest degree replicated by the world media, along with the e-mails. And what? Gengenmon is Usyo equal to khan? And how would the world feel if it weren't for the news channels? At the dollar exchange rate? So he hasn't changed. By the influx of English-speaking guest workers in the markets, including in the Russian Federation? Dy-k ... There are no striped ones at construction sites.
To that gutar, sho situevina was greatly exaggerated and inflated by the media. This is their bread.
And if all the movement went on on the sly, then the maximum effect in the moment for the Russian Federation is the need to slowly and thoughtfully strengthen the borders, without kipesh.

In 1975, approximately a similar situation developed when the Americans were evacuating from South Vietnam. Nothing special happened for the "American empire". The mentality is rather similar to that of business people, even in cases of war. The "enterprise in Afghanistan" became unprofitable for them, carried out "bankruptcy proceedings", got rid of unprofitable assets (the government of Afghanistan, weapons), perhaps even made a profit from the sale.

And I think so. And those countries that think of the United States as a power that has lost their image can easily feel it on themselves.

Apparently, the international banking syndicate thought that leaving Afghanistan would bring more gesheft. The marketers are good there. Financial culture has been honed for centuries. It's hard to imagine that this is not a planned departure.
