Can a New Northern Alliance Stop the Taliban?

Afghanistan is a deeply rooted, multi-ethnic country. They are historically and culturally divided. This may be the key to the country’s salvation. The Taliban compose, monolithically, only one tribal group, the Pashtuns. In Afghanistan’s 20^th and 21^st century civil wars, ethnicity has played a fundamental role. When the United States launched the War on Terror, the non-Pashtun tribal coalition, known as the Northern Alliance, facilitated the earliest American victories. There is a good reason for this. The Northern Alliance despises Taliban rule—but can a new Northern Alliance stop the Taliban? 

There are close to eighteen ethnic nationalities that compose Afghanistan. Each has its own language and ancestral tribal customs and heritage. The five main groups make up the majority. The Pashtuns constitute approximately 40% of the Afghan population. Tajiks, the second most populous ethnic group, has an estimated 30-35%. Hazaras are 10%, Uzbeks 9% and Turkmens 3%.  Except for the Hazaras, which are Shia Muslims, most Afghans are Sunni.

Biden’s Cuban Circus.

Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, visited Miami on Thursday August 19^th and met with a group of Cuban Americans. The concrete purpose was to continue to give animation to Joe Biden’s Cuban circus. One would think that Afghanistan would have, at least for a brief period, shamed any American government responsible for one of the biggest acts of dishonor in recorded history, from making public overtures of caring for captive nations.

“The Biden Administration stands in solidarity with the Cuban people and their call for freedom”, Mayorkas tweeted. The Cuban born co-architect of the Castro-Obama rapprochement scheme, added, “I join @POTUS in our commitment to holding the Cuban regime accountable, supporting the Cuban people, and ensuring Cuban Americans remain a vital partner in our efforts”. While one can understand why Biden has an interest in vote peddling in the third biggest and the most seminal swing state in the country, why would any Cuban American who claims to genuinely care about Cuba’s freedom, allow themselves to be used by an administration that is clearly making amends to allow the Castro-Communist dictatorship to survive its biggest threat in decades?

America’s Fall From Grace.

Henry Kissinger, former United States diplomat who was a master in the art of betraying American allies, once said, “it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” Unfortunately, history continues to prove this cynical view of morality and its treachery to the republican principle of solidarity as continuity within the spineless political class. The U.S. abandonment of its Afghan ally, after a twenty-year relationship, will prove most costly over time. It is America’s fall from grace. 

The direct murder of approximately 3,000 Americans on September 11^th, 2001, and the countless thousands of civilian deaths that followed due to diseases borne out of the rescue attempts, was why the United States went to war against the radical Islamist Taliban regime. This Sunni fundamentalist haven was to be defeated. According to the combined data from Linda Bilmes of Harvard University’s Kennedy School and the Brown University Costs of War project, over 6,294 people serving the United States were killed in Afghanistan between service members (2,448) and contractors (3,846).

As part of NATO’s presence, over 1,144 Allied soldiers died. As per the U.S. Department of Defense Casualty Status report, more than 20,000 soldiers were wounded in Afghanistan, many of these brave heroes bearing permanent disabilities.

China’s Bid to Save Cuba’s Communist Regime.

Intervention” has become a much-used word since the Cuban Uprising of July 11^th began. Those determined to uphold the status quo in communist Cuba, are weaponizing the concept and misconstruing the full gravity of its meaning in actual application. Determined to keep the United States in a state of indifference and complicit inertia, enemies of Cuba’s liberation have launched a war of disinformation with bogus potential scenarios, to assure that Castro-Communism survives the biggest civil insurrection in all Cuban history. While all this is going on, China has been and continues its intervention in Cuba.   

To call the wholesale human butchery, sadistic tortures, sham trials, unjust sentences, and ideologically geared pandemic policy in Cuba a “humanitarian” crisis, is to trivialize political genocide. The crimes against humanity that the Castroist regime is currently committing, is made possible by China’s intervention in Cuba. The calculated, lesser-evil gambit of allowing Cubans’ internet access by way of mobile electronic devices as late as 2018, was a tough call for the socialist dictatorship in Havana. The compelling need for capital to fund its lavish police state and sustain power, forced the tolerance of mechanisms that they knew would be used by the Cuban population to break the monopolistic hold on news and information. This is where Beijing stepped in.
