A tweet and the question of 20 years.
After the defeat of the Afghan government and its army against the Taliban, the fundamental question is, what have American specialists and trainers been doing for these 20 years?” “Were they in the service of the Afghan army or the Taliban?”
This is the question posed by Ezzat al-Shabandar, a prominent Iraqi analyst and former member of the Iraqi parliament, in a tweet.
Al-Shabandar’s question about the gates of Afghanistan and the occasion for the Americans to leave it refers to a mission that justifies the presence of American forces in that country as well as in Iraq; Arming the armies of the two countries and training the military forces.
The fact is that, despite the claim of the withdrawal of US combat troops, the presence of US forces in Iraq continues with the same justification; Iraqi Army Advisory and Training Mission.
It is true that neither Afghanistan can be considered equal to Iraq nor the Taliban can be considered equivalent to ISIS; Although the Americans occupied Afghanistan 20 years ago under the pretext of fighting the Taliban and are still present in Iraq under the pretext of fighting ISIS, the point that the Iraqi analyst makes is related to the policy of the Taliban and ISIS or an intention to It does not compare the two, but reveals a common fact about the American approach in the two countries.
If the 20-year US presence in Afghanistan under the pretext of war and after that, the training of Afghan army forces did not bear any fruit, but even more, it prepared the country for the recapture of the country by the Taliban, what guarantee is there that the Americans Do not the advisors and trainers in Iraq lead to the strengthening of ISIL?
From this perspective, it is no coincidence that ISIL mummies are being raised again at the same time as rumors of the need for US training forces to remain in Iraq.
For many, the question still arises as to how more than 100 electricity pylons were destroyed in Iraq over the course of a month, while emphasizing the need for the withdrawal of some US troops, citing political groups and the Iraqi parliament. Dozens of Iraqi citizens, from mourning ceremonies to public thoroughfares, were shot dead by ISIS terrorists?
When the US combat troops have not yet left Iraq, what force, and for what purpose, is summoning and reorganizing the dark forces from inside the dungeons?
