Due to the withdrawal of US troops in Afghanistan, the Bloody Civil War may begin, the former head of the CIA and the former commander of the international contingent in Afghanistan General David Petreus.
According to him, Washington could prevent such a perspective if she left the contingent of troops in the republic. Petreus noted that this way the United States refuses the values for which they fought.
“The rest of the world will see that we do not support democracy and values that we promote all over the world – human rights, especially women’s right, the right to education, freedom of speech and press – all this, of course, far from perfect in Afghanistan , but much better than if the “Taliban” (forbidden in Russia, a terrorist organization – approx. tape.ru) restored the medieval Islamist regime, “he said.
Petraeus believes that if the victory in Afghanistan won the Taliban, then “millions of refugees” will go to Pakistan and other countries. Also freedom of local residents will decrease. “I am somewhat incomprehensible to me why we did not think about the opportunity to leave 3.5 thousand military to prevent the Taliban to return the ultra-conservative Islamist theocracy, which is not responsible for any interests,” he said.
Former head of the CIA believes that with the help of these American military, it was possible to prevent civil war, and in the current situation “the war will continue and will be all worse.”
The official conclusion of US troops and the North Atlantic Alliance countries from the Afghan territories began on May 1. Joe Biden’s American leader stated that the US Army completely leaves the country by September 11, 2021. In his opinion, military forces cannot support the local government. In the White House, it is calculated that the process of troops from Afghanistan will end by the end of August.
July 2, the spokesman for the White House, Jen Psaki clarified the deadlines for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. As psaki stated during a briefing, the United States expects that the process of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan will end by the end of August.
