Why is the United States, in Addition to the United Nations and the EU, Helping the Taliban?
The massive amount of weaponry that the Biden-Harris administration has donated to the Taliban regime has not impeded the National Resistance Front led by Ahmad Massoud from resisting the fundamentalist onslaught. The Panjshir Valley is still today a free Afghanistan. One would have thought that the desire to end a military presence in a country would not set aside systemic safety ramifications for republican societies. Developments keep pointing to a concerning string of events that are inconsistent with the defense of freedom. Why are the U.N., E.U., and the U.S. helping the Taliban?
The illiberal nature of Sharia law, an indispensable component of political Islam, should suffice to warn all freedom-believing countries, regions, and institutions about the futility of supporting Islamic fundamentalism in the hopes that movements like the Taliban can be tamed in the absence of force or other aggressive deterrents. When one adds to the equation the place that jihad with its perennial war against the Judeo-Christian civilization has, it becomes inconceivable that no effort is being made to help the Afghans that are challenging the Taliban, much less come to their aid.

Every first Monday of September, the United States celebrates Labor Day. A federal holiday since 1894, it honors, not just the labor movement, but all who contribute with their work to make America better. This day which, traditionally, closes out the summer season has a controversial beginning. This is best explained when one ponders why most countries in the world celebrate their version of a day dedicated to the workforce on May 1st.
Five Germans, one German American, an Englishman and a former Confederate American soldier, all anarcho-socialists, are the reason for the May 1st workerâs day observance in most of the world. Their names were August Spies, Albert Parsons, George Engel, Adolph Fischer, Louis Lingg, Michael Schwab, Oscar Neebe, and Samuel Fielden. The socialist movement was very much intertwined with anarchism and labor organizations. Socialismâs obsession with dominating all worker groups, something very visible in the 19th century, in fact was an integral part of Soviet communismâs strategy for world hegemony.

China Will Reap Afghanistanâs Wealth.
Afghanistan is a land of paradox. It is a very poor country, yet at the same time, quite rich. This, one of the most egalitarian places in the world, is sitting on an estimated $3 trillion in untapped natural resources, according to the former Afghan Mines Minister Wahidullah Shahrani and reported by Reuters. Communist China, the Talibanâs financier via its enabler Pakistan, will reap Afghanistanâs wealth.
Copper, iron, lithium, and rare earth metals are some of the minerals which abound in Afghanistan. While these resources have been identified but not fully explored or evaluated, in geological terms, they are considered âundiscoveredâ. The Soviet Union, during their occupation, did ample research and provided surveys that members of the Afghanistan Geological Survey stored. Moscow had the intention of expropriating these riches. The pullout and the impending collapse of the USSR put an end to those aspirations.

5 Biggest American Mistakes in Afghanistan.
America has been badly disgraced by the betrayal of Afghanistan. The capitulation before a band of barbarian evildoers, the abandonment of American citizens, Afghan allies, even trusted animals at the service of the United States, will haunt this great county. After toppling the very regime that now has toppled the United States in Afghanistan and 20 years of occupation, investment, and the loss of American, Afghan, and NATO alliesâ lives, the question becomes, what went wrong? Here are the 5 biggest United States mistakes in Afghanistan.
1. Centralization of power
Afghanistan is still pretty much a premodern society. It is Hobbesian. Anthropologically tribal to this very day, it extends legitimacy to authoritative leadership that keeps it safe. It is comprehensively multiethnic, multicultural, and multilinguistic. Even though Afghans share in Islam a common religion, tribalism and its historical, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds mold the manner of its practice.
