========== Like Biden, the victorious Taliban is having a tough autumn. They only know one way to deal with problems and criticism - a beating first and then murder. Later, for efficiency, they will probably skip the first step. The only good news is that they are not as bad as their friends in Al Qaeda or their enemies in Islamic State. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/08/world/asia/taliban-protests-pakistan.html Pakistan loved to shelter the Afghan Taliban - that had to do with Kashmir - https://apnews.com/article/kashmir-cd1c1b8b9f35a74dfc959a9c61a560b4>https://apnews.com/article/kashmir-cd1c1b8b9f35a74dfc959a9c61a560b4 But now Pakistan resents the Afghans sheltering the Pakistani Taliban. The Afghans aren't making much progress against foreign terrorists on their soil. And the Pakistanis think Afghan refugees streaming into Pakistan shelter terrorists. They've built a fence along their entire border. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/08/world/asia/pakistan-afghanistan-refugees.html #PS1mideast https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/08/world/asia/taliban-protests-pakistan.html ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-09-08 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Like Biden, the victorious Taliban is having a tough topic mideast wordrate 0 words 118 epoch Lifetime ID 1493804647630716 impress 12 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "09/08/2021 17:09" reach 11 title "As Taliban Crush Dissent, New Leaders Face Cascading Challenges" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1493804647630716 ========== Afghanistan is not a direct long-term threat to American credibility. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/29/opinion/afghanistan-withdrawal-history.html Trumpist isolationism is the long-term threat - to our allies but most of all to ourselves. There is no way to overcome global challenges without global partners. And Afghanistan might be Trump's ticket to re-election. #PS1mideast ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-08-29 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Afghanistan is not a direct long-term threat to American topic mideast wordrate 0 words 46 epoch Lifetime ID 1487075594970288 impress 8 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "08/29/2021 22:08" reach 7 title "Opinion | Stop the Doomsaying.

His biggest stroke of luck of all - losing the election! So he avoided blame for the Afghanistan withdrawal disaster that he set in motion, which would have sunk GOP hopes for 2022. Now the Taliban have given him a ticket to re-election since no matter what Biden does or doesn't do, Trump won't have to come up with any actual Afghanistan policies or put them to the test of the heat of battle. And it takes the heat off Trump, and them, for his covid disaster. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-151d588fd9f4b33b0a71b9a1226e589b If the GOP gets control of Congress, they'll be investigating Biden and Afghanistan endlessly with never a conclusion - https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/08/27/mccarthy-gop-afghanistan-troop-deaths/ https://www.foxnews.com/politics/secretary-state-blinken-impeachment-house-republicans and without investigating Reagan or Bush or the other enablers of the Taliban in the first place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Wilson_(Texas_politician) #PS1mideast https://apnews.com/article/immigration-151d588fd9f4b33b0a71b9a1226e589b ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-08-27 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Trump is one lucky guy.

Probably nothing. That's the greatest tragedy of Afghanistan. As after Vietnam, a new bipartisan generation of overly-confident civilian and military leaders will get involved in other unstable countries. https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-afghanistan-036874ebcb40acb404ac1a7f3db11f1a The hope is that elite ruling classes in other unstable countries will learn that US involvement is not forever and the end might come faster than anybody could imagine - so they better have a better plan. When water's going down the drain, it just circles faster and faster. Better to be on the side of nationalism than of foreign imperialism. As for the former elite ruling class of Afghanistan, it doesn't matter much what they learned since they are either exiled or soon dead. #PS1mideast ===== impact 12 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-08-17 ratio 7 react 1 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 title What have Americans learned?
