“Even 10 years ago, I said that as soon as the Americans leave Afghanistan, the fall of the Afghan government and the complete victory of the Taliban will take at most several months. My American friends assured me that no – they strengthen the Afghan army very well, give it a lot of equipment and equipment. . I, in turn, replied that this would not help, because she did not have a spirit of resistance and no technique would help with this. Unfortunately, I was right, “he wrote.
The Georgian-Ukrainian politician noted that “he has been to Afghanistan many times and saw with his own eyes how the local population does not have the will to fight and rests only on American bayonets.”
“What will happen after the victory of the Taliban? Of course, they will not stop. Their next target will be Central Asia, and there are not only ready-made regimes for the fall in almost all Central Asian countries, but a very hot period for Russia of a large offensive of Islam from the south. Afghanistan – this is a lesson for all peoples, for all of us: Americans can help only if you show the will to fight, “Saakashvili explained.
He believes that if in 2008 the Georgian army “did not heroically resist” the Russian troops, “the Americans would certainly not have sent their forces.”
“And this concerns Russia’s autumn plans for Ukraine. We must be ready to defend ourselves, and when we are ready to contain the enemy for at least some period, only after that can we count on American help,” Saakashvili said.
In February 2020, representatives of the United States and the Taliban signed a peace agreement, which provides for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan within 18 months after its signing. The British Department of Defense named him “rotten agreement”.
