A huge crime against humanity

"Look at the image posted that shows how it all started.
Promoting Islamic fundamentalism, this huge crime against humanity, was a tremendous weapon against the Afghan socialist regime, but above all an extraordinarily well-chalked trap for the decrepit Soviet leadership at the time. They prompted that gerontocracy to intervene stupidly in Afghanistan to help the regime, which was in trouble with the worst trained and extremely well armed people and quickly became swamped in a dead end conflict. But attention, this bet on Islamic fundamentalism was not the work of the Reagan administration, as is thought, but the Carter administration was the one of human rights and Nobel Peace prize. As the Soviets fell like ducks, they still had an excuse to boycott the Moscow Olympic Games...
But if this bet had only had the aim of weakening the USSR, it would have contributed greatly to its end, geostrategically it would have been understood.
The drama is that this bet on fundamentalists is a fundamental goal of American foreign policy. Taliban, Al Qaeda, Daesh, everything was created with USA involvement to serve their interests and if sometimes the creature turns against the creator, it's no hindrance to a while to serve him again.
Some analysts are very concerned that Afghanistan may again be a base for Al Qaeda, but they hide that in Syria, Al Qaeda can only hold on Idlib, thanks to the huge support from Turkey and USA and attention to that support there is or has been more Nato countries involved.
Notice everything secular in the Arab world has been destroyed by the USA and its fundamentalist acolytes, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and what will come forward.
Arab secular regimes tend to be less obedient to the orders of the Empire than fundamentalists and therefore obviously have to be replaced by these.
It's complete cynicism for US supporters to come and tell us about human rights and particularly women's rights.
This promotion by USA of Islamic fundamentalism is perhaps the greatest crime against humanity of today's times."

What’s going on out there has many facets, which are fraught with fear.

I wonder how many people would give them “credit” or thanks for letting them go rather than stay?

"In the light of the situation that we now see at the airport of Kabul and the inability of some Western countries to arrange the evacuation of their diplomats, military and civilians from Afghanistan, to say nothing about Afghan nationals who cooperated with them, and their families who want to leave the country but have no possibility we would like to say the following: In order to prevent the worsening of the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, we are ready to provide the services of the Russian civil aviation to ensure the flight of any number of Afghan nationals, including women and children, to whatever foreign countries that will show an interest in receiving and accommodating them," the diplomat said.

"Representatives of the new authorities in Afghanistan have assured us that there are no fundamental obstacles for the arrival in Kabul and departure of Russian civil aircraft. The safety of the planes, their crews and passengers is guaranteed," the diplomat added.

Well it seems they have started murdering people already, despite what their spokesmen say. It doesn't look good.
