• The Great Contest Of Our Time Is between Humanity And Imperialism
  15 August 2021, by siawi3

  The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) will be 60 years old this September. The appetite in the developing world remains for the NAM project. Countries do not want to pick sides in a ‘new cold war’ that no-one, apart from the US, wants. The divide is not between China and the US, a division that the US is trying to impose on the world: the divide is between humanity and imperialism.

• Kaboul, Saigon 2.0
  15 août 2021, par siawi3

  La chute de la capitale du Sud-Vietnam a eu lieu plus de deux ans après les accords de Paris qui avaient officiellement mis fin au conflit. Aujourd’hui, les derniers soldats américains n’ont même pas encore tourné les talons que, déjà, leurs ennemis menacent les dernières poches en mains gouvernementales. Si les combattants islamistes n’ont pas besoin d’attendre que les Etats-Unis aient retiré leurs troupes pour passer à l’action, c’est qu’ils savent la lassitude des Américains pour la guerre, depuis le conflit vietnamien.

• US Sending 3,000 Troops To Afghanistan
  15 August 2021, by siawi3

  Washington’s determination to broker a “political settlement” in Afghanistan is driven not by concerns over terrorism or the rights of women, but rather US imperialism’s interests in preventing China, Russia or Iran from expanding their influence in the country.

• US Defeat in Afghanistan — A Contrast With the Soviet Experience
  17 August 2021, by siawi3

  The US is leaving Afghanistan in a much worse state than when it began its intervention 40 years ago. At the time of the Soviet intervention, Afghanistan was divided between reactionary, religious-oriented, obscurantist forces and leftists who wanted a progressive social agenda based on feminism, secularism and social justice. The U.S., of course, sided with the reactionary and religious zealots, which it rushed to organize, finance and arm in the wake of the Soviet military entering the country.

  19 août 2021, par siawi3

  L’ancien directeur de la CIA Robert Gates l’affirme dans ses ’Mémoires’ : les services secrets américains ont commencé à aider les moudjahidine Afghans six mois avant l’intervention soviétique - c’est en effet le 3 juillet 1979 que le président Carter a signé la première directive sur l’assistance clandestine aux opposants du régime prosoviétique de Kaboul. 6 mois avant l’intervention militaire des soviétiques.

  19 August 2021, by siawi3

  The former director of the CIA, Robert Gates, stated in his memoirs [« From the Shadows »], that American intelligence services began to aid the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan 6 months before the Soviet intervention.

• Create Two, Three, Many Saigons

  Pessimism must not be laid at the feet of the Taliban alone, but also of those — such as the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Germany and Pakistan — who funded and supported the Taliban-like theocratic fascists.

• Afghanistan Tragedy Should End Calls for ‘Regime Change’ in Iran

  The team managing America’s disastrous Afghanistan policy is in charge of managing America’s disastrous Iran policy.

• The Crimes of the West in Afghanistan and the Suffering That Remains
  20 August 2021, by siawi3

  Today it is finally clear: the alleged humanitarian operation only plunged the country further into misery and strengthened the Islamists. As in Iraq, as in Libya, as in Mali. It is time to finally bury the doctrine of the so-called “responsibility to protect”, which was coined at the time of the beginning of the Afghan war, and to brand it as what it was from the beginning: a neocolonial project.

• Don’t use girls as justification for bombing Afghanistan, again
  20 August 2021, by siawi3

  Dear British feminists, Western military intervention is never a good thing. After two decades of failed Western intervention, don’t be fooled again. As was the case with Tony Blair’s illegal invasion of Iraq and David Cameron’s catastrophic intervention in Libya, when the UK sends troops, it spells destruction for women and girls – and today would be no exception.
