Vladimir Putin: The US military presence in Afghanistan over 20 years has led to some tragedies and losses

39


Vladimir Putin spoke at the All-Russian Ocean Center in honor of the start of the new academic year in the country. According to him, the 20-year military campaign of the United States of America did not show any results, or rather, it has a negative result. An attempt by Washington to "civilize" the population of Afghanistan and to introduce its values ​​and views where it is impossible to impose something, being outside the traditions established there, is America's mistake, the President of the Russian Federation believes.



As a result, there are only tragedies and losses for the United States and for Afghanistan. And why? If someone does something in relation to another, then it is necessary to proceed from the understanding of culture and philosophy in its broadest sense in relation to the subject. It is important to respect their traditions. The situation needs to be ripe, and if you want to, so that maturation goes faster, you need to help these people. This should be done slowly and in a civilized manner, maintaining the appropriate tendencies, and having a reserve of patience. Without taking into account all these criteria, it is almost impossible to achieve something.

- commented the President of Russia.

A day earlier, in his address to the nation, US President Joe Biden said the operation in Afghanistan was "incredibly successful." He also added that the soldiers risked their lives for weeks to save everyone from Afghanistan, and the responsibility for making the decision to withdraw the military contingent from Afghanistan lies entirely with him. Immediately after the speech, a wave of criticism hit the American leader.

In particular, Megan McCain - the daughter of the American statesman and politician John McCain - publicly renounced Biden as a family friend.

God help us. God help America we were abandoned

- wrote in her Twitter account Megan McCain.

    As a result, there are only tragedies and losses for the United States and for Afghanistan.

    Presumably, it would be correct to say "As a result, there are only tragedies and losses for all the countries invading Afghanistan and for Afghanistan."

      For the sake of justice, Afghanistan did not bring anything good either, but at least we did not manually set the sun there for 20 years, and went out under unfurled banners, and not at night, turning out the bulbs.

          Yes, don't give a damn about the Americans! Vladimir Vladimirovich, golden, tell us why you are with you, despite your twenty years of effort, the people in Russia are dying out and impoverished? In the same USA, by the way, there are no problems with fertility and the salary is not much higher!

              Yes. We need to make an amendment. The 500 richest families in Russia add greatly, both in heirs and in wealth! It's no secret that, as a rule, all of our billionaires are very prolific. Which, unfortunately, cannot be said about the deep-seated Russian people!

              And what do you think of religion, laziness, or the vulnerable soul of a patriot does not allow raising the statistics of demography since 1991? Or watch to count your children, if you have any. If you have less than THREE, then yes, suddenly for you Russia is dying out. And these are dry figures of statistics, they do not require either proof or belief in them, they just are. And you can either take them or bury your head in the sand. Well, or go to the first stage) start scribbling an angry message to Rosstat that their statistics are unpatriotic)

        In fairness to the Soviet Union, Afghanistan also did not bring anything good.

        In fairness, almost everyone took up arms against the Soviet Union at that time. The Americans either didn't get in the way, or they wiped their butt altogether. So these are a priori incomparable things

            You about Thomas, but all the same about Erema.
            The United States, China, Pakistan, Britain, etc. acted against the USSR on that "Afghan" field, but here the mattresses turned into one sly face and no one interfered with "terrorism", which makes their military campaign completely shameful and failed.

                However, who knows how it would have been if the sworn "friends" had not put a stick in the wheels of the USSR. It seems that one of the advantages would be that the emergence of such a ter. Organization like Al Qaeda, fostered with mattresses to resist the union, would be impossible.

Another step towards the end of the American claim to one-man world domination. As well as British in its time. smile

                Bidon is right, everything worked out:
                -agentura squeezed into neighboring countries and even Ukraine is ready to accept
                -the focus of tension remains
                -stability in Central Asia is a big question
                - What will all these unfortunate Afghani refugees be doing? Right, Anaconda's plan has not been canceled. The American girls will come to an agreement with the Taliban when everything stabilizes. In vain did the Taliban retain military equipment for a couple of armies, this is quite enough for military operations on land, especially since the Taliban is not a bearded rabble, but quite combat-ready units to bring a lot of trouble to neighbors, including us. And what about the Afghan refugees that Ukraine is going to give shelter to? I can continue, although on the other hand, what am I an amateur and an ignoramus in military affairs?

            Before the introduction of troops, we were not particularly enemies with the Afghans. And after too.
            The Americans came and sang another song. It was better with ours. Everything is relative.

            I love the USSR, this is my Motherland, but I will not idealize it. Imposing our standards on Afghans was also not the right policy.
            And of course, they also thought that without the shuravi they would immediately heal ... It didn't work out.
            Now they have the opportunity to compare different options: the Shah's regime, Soviet socialism, the American occupation, Sharia from the Taliban *.
            In this situation, we have an advantage, the times under the Shah are remembered only by historians, the American version tired everyone, and the Taliban * is still unknown with a negative entourage.
            But the Russians ...
            We definitely don't need to go there with troops, but diplomats must be present in the backstage everywhere.

    Vladimir Putin: The US military presence in Afghanistan over 20 years has led to some tragedies and losses

    So, what is next? You recently shook hands with our overseas partners, and your predecessor looked into their mouths and with their help sold everything for a pittance.
    Knowledgeable people say that 75% of Russian energy facilities belong to the United States. Remind me of aluminum and Deripaska? Where has your friend Abramovich gone?
    To us to Afghanistan, as to the moon on foot. Would you tell (like an old Chekist) how and by what means they managed to destroy the whole state? And who, when they knocked on the door, said: “This is Moscow speaking. Moscow time 12 o'clock. "

    Not Putin, but Biden is right! The operation is truly incredibly successful! For the USA, of course. Wild billions have been spent, yes, but 90% of them ended up in the pockets of the owners of life through kickbacks, frauds, orders, redistributions, etc. They have inflamed the Afghanis so much that everyone around him will have no time for competition with the United States for another hundred years. And the staff will take care of the rest of the world, where there is still at least some order. They will start stirring up there. Or continue to stir. So with victory, Biden. Alas and ah ...

    Mr. President, ay!
    Who are you telling this?
    To the descendants of those who clung to foreign lands. Began to grab them. He began to kill and rape the local population. In the end, when the population declined by several tens of millions, the remnants were herded into the reservation.
    The entire history of the United States is a series of continuous genocide and wars.
    Afghanistan is another episode in the history of this Minotaur.
    As long as there is the United States, as long as there will be wars, destruction, famine, terror and much more.
