Why has there not been the degree of Carnage, Death and Chaos perpetrated by the Taliban in Afghanistan that the Leftist MSM in the West have been "predicting" ??!!
IMO, that had absolutely NOTHING to do with the "efforts(?)" made by anyone in "JOKE" Biden's administration.
It came, PRIMARILY, from meetings held several weeks ago in Moscow between the Russians and the leading figures within the Taliban. It also came from similar meetings held between the Taliban and the Chinese in China.
Because Russia is regarded as a "Pariah" in most Western countries, and supported in that regard by the Media, very little is known or revealed about Russia's far superior DIPLOMATIC skills, especially when compared to the current administration in the USA, because the majority of Western media SAYS NOTHING IN THAT REGARD.
Alexander Mercouris provides the details with regards to PLEDGES agreed to by the Taliban ......
The Pledges put forward by the Russians and agreed to by the Taliban are :-
1) The Taliban are to set up an Inclusive Government bringing together ALL communities within Afghanistan, 2) The Taliban MUST act with restraint and not return to the extreme Fundamentalism of the past, 3) The Taliban must act on their Pledges to keep Afghanistan FREE OF TERRORIST GROUPS such as Al-Qaeda and Isis, 4) The Taliban must bring Opium production and Heroin trafficking in that country to an end.
Both Russia and China informed the Taliban that if they abided by these Pledges then they would recognize the inclusive government set up by the Taliban.
HOWEVER, if the Taliban move away from these Pledges and Agreements both the Russians and the Chinese have made it clear that they will be "HOSTILE" towards the Taliban and both countries have stated that they will INTERVENE. To this end, the Russians informed the Taliban that they have moved their troops to the borders of Afghanistan at Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The Chinese have done the same by moving their troops to their border with Afghanistan.
AND WITH REGARD TO THE CLUELESS AND COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT US SECRETARY OF STATE, Antony Blinken, here we have him attempting, without success, to gain some RELEVANCE for the USA in Afghanistan. He had to approach Russia, with his tail between his legs, to request their "Assistance" to get Americans out of Afghanistan ........
