Back to the Future
Whoever made that announcement was not asked by our controlled media what exactly our government would do IF it was seen as money going into the enemy coffers. Does Canada expect they will give it back if it disappears into the corrupt Karzai government? Most countries in the so called coalition have also dedicated millions.
Karzai was in exile once, and when the US decided to go into Afghanistan to 'get bin Laden' they brought back Karzai and installed him as a US friendly leader. It has not worked at all. And many expect Karzai to get the hell out of there with the last troops, probably with his pockets stuffed with Western dollars.
After all these years of seeing brave Canadian, British and US soldiers lose their lives in their prime, fighting a lost cause, nothing has been accomplished. The West is barely able to defend itself in the secure zones of the main town of Kabul! The Taliban rules the rest of the country. When there is a concentrated effort against them, they simply retreat, and go somewhere else for awhile. They are not going away and are simply waiting to get their country back. And most analysts, unless they are spinning the preferred line, agree.
Afghanistan
is still the world's supplier of heroin. It is estimated that 90% of
the drug on Britain`s streets is Afghan. The poppy crops are larger than
ever. Despite ten years of 'occupation' by Western troops. Production
of the class-A drug by Afghan farmers rose between 2001 and 2011 from
just 185 tons to a staggering 5,800 tons. It increased by 61 per cent
last year alone! Fueling speculation that it is the CIA that has become
the world's largest drug dealer.Does anyone believe that the women and girls of Afghanistan will continue their emancipation into a fair and democratic society? Doing all the things other women in the world are able to do? Will young girls in that country continue an education that so threatens the Taliban that they don't hesitate to blow up the primitive schools (built by Canadians) with all those children still in them?
And just a day ago, a 22 year old woman was publicly executed on the street for adultery amid cheers from bystanders! Keep in mind that adultery in a Taliban world is just talking to or walking
with another man. Even rape is adultery. Sharia law is the rule. The
future looks bleak in Afghanistan. Some believe that the only reason the
US has troops left there at all is to nurture the drug trade. Karzai of course, ordered a manhunt for the killer. As if.
So throwing money into the pit of vipers who will use it to attack anyone within their realm is just wrong. So far there is something like 20 billion dollars dedicated to aid Afghanistan. The question of what exactly is aid, goes unanswered.
The only thing that seems sure is that the future of Afghanistan will again be 100 years back.
So to TODAY,
We need also keep in mind that the change here in December 2022 is that Joe Biden commanded American troops to leave Afghanistan, quickly to end a war without any forethought of consequences and left about $85 BILLION in US Military equipment and advanced weapons for the Taliban to use which would very likely be against Americans should they come within range. No one in the America government is asking what happened to those billions in 'aid'.
And no sense being aghast at the cruelty towards women then because it is ongoing right now at the end of 2022. The ignorant cavemen are ruling as usual in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. etc. And methinks we, meaning the 'West', is still funneling billions of dollars into these lost causes, while pretending we are helping them, when the truth is the proxy wars keep all the oligarchs happy with yet another way to support the arms industries. Same old same old. The question is who is getting a cut of the action?
When will we ever learn?
Not much to ad to this except that some Americans sadly sacrificed their lives in a lost adventure. Like Pat Tillman, who left the comfort of his career in the NFL to go to Afghanistan to fight for his country. The young man was heralded by the Military as the poster boy for patriotism.
Even though those who allowed it knew all the time he was only fodder for propaganda and lies. Pat Tillman was 27 when he died in Spera, Khost Province, Afghanistan in 2004. He was like so many brave but duped young American men following an ingrained path to oblivion. All for nothing? He was not fighting for his country, was he?
So from July 2012 to December 2022 nothing is different.
Tragic.
addenda - June 2023
And in North America, we are ignoring the plight of women in these backward, caveman countries while those in our 'civilized' countries are screaming about a WOKE agenda and pretending THEY are the persecuted ones.
By the way RAPE in Afghanistan is when a woman walks to the store for food for her family, and men jump out of a car and 'sexually assault' her, (North America speak for RAPE because it's not so harsh) When this happens in these countries, the WOMAN is considered guilty because she was alive! And will likely get stoned to death or a bullet in the head. I suspect the latter now because the USA left them lots of ammo to use against their 'enemies.'
Pay attention!
