US WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN (P2)

So Kabul has collapsed. Taliban has captured Kabul without any resistance from the numerically superior Afghan National Army (ANA) & their president Ashraf Ghani has left Afghan with cars filled with cash along with him. All this happened in just 1 day i.e 15th Aug 2021. This takeover of Kabul has proved all defence analysts of all nations wrong as they have said time and again that ANA won't let Taliban take Jalalabad or Herat easily and it would be a bloodbath for Taliban if they try to take them but what happened in reality is that Taliban captured Kabul along with all these cities WITHOUT any major resistance from ANA. Now the question arises that was Taliban capable enough to do it all by themselves or some 'foreign parties' intervened ? The answer is quite simple, Taliban could have defeated ANA but that would have been at the cost of ten of thousands of casualties & the probability of that to happen was low. So this clearly indicates that Taliban themselves couldn't afford to take Kabul just like that. Someone helped them to secure their interests in Afghanistan & that someone is none other that CHINA. A couple of weeks before the takeover of Kabul, Talibani delegation went to China & met with the Chinese & within a day of Kabul's takeover the Chinese were ready to accept Taliban as the ruler of Afg. This also indicates why ANA didn't put any resistance against Taliban. This was definitely happened because of a backdoor deal between Ghani led  Afghan govt & China. Otherwise who would have given cars filled with dollars to President Ghani and why would ANA not defend the capital? China played a very vital role in it but China is not the only player. Russia & Iran were also key players in this & they had their interests bound with Taliban. Russia obviously wants control over central Asia & which other country would have been so strategically important than🇦🇫. 🇷🇺 & 🇮🇷 also wanted US to be out from Afghanistan as Russia always wanted to embarrass US in Afghanistan just like US did to USSR during the end of cold war & this actually happened as The Fall Of Kabul is now being compared with The Fall Of Saigon (capital of South Vietnam before the reunification of Vietnam after USA's humiliating defeat in Vietnam). Definitely US is experiencing huge international embarrassment & they are also removing the remaining troops (just what Iran wants) along with their diplomats.

In next part of the blog we will discuss what would Taliban 2.0 look like.
