Terror Of Russian “Holy War” Saves Afghanistan From Taliban As American Demons Flee
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A gobsmacking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting that Russian Ambassador to Afghanistan Dmitry Zhirnov will meet on Tuesday with the coordinator of the leadership of the Taliban movement to discuss ensuring the security of the Russian embassy, says in a direct communiqué received by Security Council Members this morning, Ambassador Zhirnov stated: “Surprisingly, the situation is perfectly calm on the whole…Today, the key forces of the Taliban calmly entered Kabul…Before that, the highest leadership of the Taliban warned all its units to not harass people, not to enter homes, not to touch anyone and observe order…Moreover, a day before their arrival, the Taliban leadership communicated to the Afghan Defense Ministry that they should ensure security in the city”—a statement quickly joined by top Taliban spokesman Suhail Shaheen promising the world that Afghan women will not be deprived of work opportunities or education when they come to full power, on the condition that they remain veiled in public.
This transcript next sees Security Council Members discussing issues relating to Afghanistan classified at the highest level “Of Special Importance”—the portions of which that are permitted to be openly discussed among various ministries include the historic and unprecedented visit to the United States of Russia’s top three intelligence agency directors to meet with their counterparts in the President Donald Trump administration during the last week of January-2018—unprecedented meetings wherein Russian intelligence directors explained to the Americans the Russian Orthodox Church doctrine of “Just War”, that defines situations in which the waging of war becomes a moral necessity and lays out the criteria by which a Christian is intended to determine whether or not a specific war was entered into and is conducted in a virtuous manner—whose vital importance for the Americans knowing about was because Russia determined this doctrine’s criteria was more than met in Syria where ISIS barbarians were massacring both Christens and Muslims—which caused the Russian Orthodox Church to declare a “Holy War” against ISIS—and with Russia being a Christian theocracy obligated to abide by the Russian Orthodox Church and its declarations, President Putin ordered the Russian military to intervene in Syria and destroy ISIS.
With both President Putin and President Trump having the same objective of destroying ISIS, this report details, Russia’s intelligence directors explained to their American counterparts that one of their main allies in this fight was Taliban co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, whom Pakistan had imprisoned in 2010—but after being told how important Mullah Baradar really was, it saw President Trump forcing Pakistan to release him on 25 October 2018—after which Mullah Baradar was appointed to be the chief of the Taliban's diplomatic office in Doha-Qatar—in February-2020 it saw Mullah Baradar signing a peace agreement with President Trump to end the Afghanistan war—today sees Mullah Baradar preparing to be the new leader of Afghanistan—and when queried by Security Council Members this morning about the likelihood of Afghanistan becoming another ISIS, it saw Russian Presidential Envoy for Afghanistan Zamir Kabulov firmly replying: “I don’t have this concern...I saw in reality the Taliban fighting ISIS and fighting it viciously unlike the Americans and the whole of NATO, including the Afghan leadership that fled, who did not counter ISIS and only pandered to it…Representatives of the highest Taliban leadership were telling me that they only have this to say to ISIS: there will be no captives”.
In preparation for Mullah Baradar and his Taliban forces taking full control of Afghanistan, this report continues, last month the Kremlin hosted a delegation of Taliban leaders to warn them of the terror of “Holy War” should they repeat the barbaric crimes committed by ISIS and threaten other nations—after which Presidential Envoy Kabulov reported: “We received assurances from the Taliban that they wouldn’t violate the borders of Central Asian countries and also their guarantees of security for foreign diplomatic and consular missions in Afghanistan”—a fortnight later then saw China hosting a delegation of Taliban leaders, where Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated to them that he expected the Taliban to “play a role in the peace, reconciliation and reconstruction process in Afghanistan”—yesterday saw China saying that it’s prepared to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate ruler of Afghanistan if it succeeds in toppling the Western-backed government in Kabul—and to demonstrate the resolve of both Russia and China to ensure a peaceful transition to power of the Taliban in Afghanistan, last week Russian military forces joined with Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to complete joint military drills near the Afghan border—that were joined by Russian and Chinese troops carrying out joint military exercises.
Security Council Members in this transcript note that as Taliban forces consolidate their power in Afghanistan, deceptive articles now appearing in America have headlines like “‘Saigon on Steroids’: The Desperate Rush to Flee Afghanistan”, “Mayhem At Kabul Airport Causing American Troops To Fire Warning Shots To Push Back Crowds”, “Several People Reportedly Shot Dead as US Troops Open Fire at Kabul Airport”, “Afghans Plunge To Their Deaths After Trying To Cling To US Military Plane Taking Off From Kabul” and “800 People Evacuated From Kabul Aboard A Single C-17 Cargo Jet”—is mass chaos at the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul further accelerated by Afghan military members taking off their uniforms and putting on civilian clothing to avoid detection by the Taliban—sees top American security officials saying that “the sad reality is there is no way we can evacuate by 31 August the more than 20,000 Afghans who want to escape the country”—sees Pentagon officials reporting that the US military has flown at least 500 American Embassy personnel out of Afghanistan on military aircraft and they're working to take 5,000-a-day, but won’t have that capability for a couple days—sees it being reported that the governments of North Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo will take in a yet-unspecified number of Afghan refugees, who will then be security-screened and eventually sent to the United States—though this number won’t include now exiled Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, who fled his country yesterday without telling his cabinet or leaving plans for a government handover, and who fled Kabul escorted with cars filled with cash.
The conclusion section of this transcript sees Security Council Members agreeing that these articles are deceptive because they don’t explain who is fleeing Afghanistan and why—if honest would explain that those fleeing are in fear of their lives because they knowingly cooperated with sadistic American demons committing some of the worst war crimes against humanity in modern times and whom the Taliban will enact swift and brutal justice against—crimes against humanity begun when the United States started the war by dropping thousands of yellow cluster bombs around Afghan villages that resembled yellow aid packages, that children would rush to collect what they believed to be food, only to end up dead after picking up and setting off an explosive device—in 2001, the former Islamist commanders from the days of the anti-Soviet insurgency came to power they reinstituted ‘bacha bazi’, a practice linked with the oppression of women’s rights and child sex abuse that had been outlawed by the Taliban, and American soldiers were instructed not to intervene, not even when their Afghan allies sexually abused boys on US military bases—crimes against humanity that include “The Convoy Of Death”, that saw the thousands of Taliban fighters who surrendered to the Afghan Northern Alliance stuffed into sealed shipping containers and allowed to asphyxiate as they were driven across the desert under the watchful eye of the CIA—according to the US military, 90% of the world’s heroin is made from Afghan opium, though in 2000, the Taliban outlawed its cultivation—but after the US invasion, there was record-high production year after year with the United States effectively turning Afghanistan into a narco-state, whose longest-running US-backed Afghan President Hamid Karzai had a brother who was a drug lord and on the CIA’s payroll—and it is perhaps no coincidence that America is now facing one of the deadliest opioid epidemics in a century.

What Afghanistan’s Saigon moment teaches us about America’s ‘humanitarian wars’

They cite women’s rights, regional stability and anti-terrorism as reasons the US should have remained in Afghanistan. But those were the very reasons cited for starting the war in the first place, back in 2001. How many more decades do they expect the world to be held hostage to the narratives of ‘the humanitarian war’? It’s now, at the end of the US’s longest war, that we must reflect on the past 20 years, and consider how it was that those false “humanitarian” narratives led us to this point.
Some of the most grave human rights violations occurred at the very onset of the war.
In the first months, the US dropped thousands of yellow cluster bombs around Afghan villages. They resembled aid packages – also yellow. Children would rush to collect what they believed to be food, only to end up dead after picking up and setting off an explosive device.
In an incident now known as ‘the convoy of death’, Taliban fighters who surrendered to the Afghan Northern Alliance were stuffed into sealed shipping containers and allowed to asphyxiate as they were driven across the desert – allegedly under the watchful eye of the CIA.
The list of US war crimes grew as the years went by. Reports emerged that US soldiers were killing civilians and allegedly keeping their body parts as souvenirs. Thanks to the bravery of former British Army major turned Australian army lawyer David McBride, who leaked secret documents, we learnt that Australian special forces had a similar kill team operating in Afghanistan.
ALSO ON RT.COMAustralia must do all it can to ensure rogue SAS troops who allegedly murdered civilians in Afghanistan face justiceOne of the strongest narratives that sold the war on Afghanistan to the public was what removing the Taliban could do for women’s rights. But the notion that the US had any real interest in women’s rights is ludicrous, since, in the first place, it was the US that helped the Taliban take control of Afghanistan away from the Soviet-backed secular government.
In 2001, when the former Islamist commanders from the days of the anti-Soviet insurgency came to power, ‘bacha bazi’ – a practice linked with the oppression of women’s rights and child sex abuse that had been outlawed by the Taliban – became common again. American soldiers were reportedly instructed not to intervene, not even when their Afghan allies abused boys on US military bases. In fact, in 2010, a WikiLeaks cable revealed that American mercenaries in the employ of DynCorp paid to bring bacha bazi boys onto a military base to dance for Afghan commanders.
Afghan women deserve rights, but not through US occupation.
And, while we’re talking about rights abuses, what about the rights of American soldiers? How many young men were buried in pursuit of this ill-fated war? Many who survived face a lifetime of pain or mental illness. Veterans are twice as likely as the average American to die from an overdose using opioids – which, ironically, likely originated in Afghanistan.
According to the US military, 90% of the world’s heroin is made from Afghan opium. In 2000, the Taliban outlawed its cultivation, but after the US invasion, there was record-high production year after year. The US effectively turned Afghanistan into a narco-state. Even the longest-running US-backed Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, had a brother who was a drug lord and allegedly on the CIA’s payroll. It is perhaps no coincidence that the US is now facing one of the deadliest opioid epidemics in a century.
In order to buy into the notion that the US pull-out will be a threat to peace and stability in the region, we would first have to believe the occupation of Afghanistan was a source of peace and stability. The reality is, in the past 20 years, not a day went by without violence, and it has left Afghanistan in ruins. The invasion was sold as a way to defeat Al-Qaeda in the War on Terror, but instead, we saw the rise of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) across the Middle East and an increase in terrorist activity across the globe. Again, if the US were serious about defeating terrorism, it wouldn’t be backing Al-Qaeda-linked militants in Syria.
There is no reason to believe that America’s goals in Afghanistan had anything to do with maintaining stability. Although the US military has pulled out, that may, in fact, be part of Washington’s calculus to cause instability from afar – a cheaper alternative to the occupation. After all, as it pivots towards a confrontation with China, the US needs to retain its resources. China’s volatile Xinjiang province shares a border with Afghanistan. It would want to avoid any instability that could mean militants flowing over that border. Perhaps the US hopes to draw China into the graveyard of empires.
No one has a higher stake in maintaining Afghanistan’s stability than its neighbours – in particular, Pakistan, China, Iran, and Russia. After 40 years of conflict, the Taliban is now decidedly more pragmatic in its dealings with all of them. Russia, in spite of its own history of war in Afghanistan, has decided to normalise relations with the Taliban in the interests of stability. Iran, which had its share of animosity towards the formerly anti-Shi’ite Taliban, hosted peace talks with the militants and the US-backed Afghan government. China, too, has had its issues with the Taliban, as members of its Uighur minority have previously crossed the border to join Al-Qaeda and fight alongside them. The Taliban has promised not to intervene in China’s Uighur issue and, in return, China has offered to build Afghanistan’s infrastructure and bring it out of an era of ruin into an era of economic prosperity. That’s something else the decades of US control failed to accomplish.
