La victoire des talibans marquera-t-elle le début de la fin de l’empire occidental ?

Le simple fait de compter le coût de l’intervention occidentale en Afghanistan en vies militaires américaines ou britanniques constitue la preuve ultime que nous sommes une civilisation en décomposition

Partie 2 - L’effondrement de l’Occident

Mais le pays imaginaire dans lequel le libéralisme occidental continue d’opérer en Asie occidentale et au Moyen-Orient reste porteur d’enseignements. Il nous en dit long sur la psychologie d’un empire en déclin.

Il est dans le déni. Notamment en ce qui concerne son rôle dans ce désastre.

David Petraeus, ancien haut commandant américain en Afghanistan, le général Sir Nick Carter, chef d’état-major de la Défense britannique, ainsi que tous les généraux américains et britanniques qui ont servi en Afghanistan portent une lourde responsabilité dans une guerre que les Afghans eux-mêmes ne pouvaient pas supporter et dont ils ne voulaient pas.

Aucun d’entre eux n’a su trouver la force d’assumer la responsabilité de ce désastre et de s’excuser auprès du peuple afghan. Ils en sont très loin. David Petraeus pleurniche et déplore une trahison politique, estimant certainement qu’une décennie de plus sous son commandement aurait résolu le problème. Personne n’assume ses actes.

La puissance aérienne qui a soutenu la présence étrangère n’était pas bénigne. Elle n’a pas fait progresser les droits des femmes afghanes. C’était une machine à tuer.

Entre 2017 et 2019, le Pentagone a assoupli ses règles d’engagement en matière de frappes aériennes et, par conséquent, les décès de civils ont connu une augmentation spectaculaire. En 2019, les frappes aériennes ont tué 700 civils afghans, soit plus qu’au cours de n’importe quelle année depuis le début de la guerre. La Force aérienne afghane (FAA) a fait de même. Au cours des six premiers mois de 2020, elle a tué 86 Afghans et fait 103 blessés. Au cours des trois mois suivants, la cadence a doublé avec 70 victimes civiles et 90 blessés.

Ainsi, il n’est pas étonnant que ses pilotes aient été pris pour cible par les talibans et que le moral se soit effondré après le retrait des États-Unis.

Mais se complaire dans le fantasme selon lequel les armées américaine et britannique étaient en Afghanistan pour faire de bonnes choses est à peu près aussi éloigné de la réalité que de dire que les régimes fantoches que les gouvernements occidentaux ont imposés au pays avaient une légitimité populaire. La légitimité d’Ashraf Ghani, élu deux fois président, a duré exactement cinq semaines – du 8 juillet, date à laquelle le président américain Joe Biden a fixé la date limite de retrait au 31 août, au 15 août, date à laquelle il a fui Kaboul avec sa famille.

Zionists pushed Trump into the war with Iran but this was not the primary reason for this catastrophic decision

by system failure     It is widely reported by various analysts that Trump's catastrophic decision to start a war with Iran, came as a result of the pressure from Netanyahu regime and the Zionist lobby in US. While we can't ignore the strong influence of the Zionist factor on Trump and its significant role on dragging him into such a catastrophe, this was probably not the primary reason for the latest US-Iran war.  One has to look first at Venezuela and the unprecedented and rather bizarre operation there to remove Nicolas Maduro from power, in order to understand the deeper reasoning behind such a risky decision by Trump against Iran. The uniqueness of the operation in Venezuela by the US imperialist beast, has to do not only with the blatant violation of international law with almost zero pretexts, but also with the fact that the rest of the Maduro administration was left untouched and permitted to remain in power. This shows that the primary goal of this operation was ...

Israel CAUGHT Spying On Trump & HERE’S WHY!

The Jimmy Dore Show   What does Donald Trump do to stop Netanyahu, or punish Netanyahu, after he openly defies him and after Donald Trump knows that Israel's intelligence services are spying on him? It appears that he has done nothing.  

It's official: Iran won the war, and the US lost - This is how

Geopolitical Economy Report  The US government has signed an agreement to end its war on Iran. It is now widely admitted that Washington lost, and Tehran won. Ben Norton explains why Donald Trump failed, and how this has massive geopolitical implications for the Global South.

Trump CAVES On Uranium & Ballistic Missiles!

The Jimmy Dore Show   Jimmy Dore and Glenn Greenwald argue that President Trump is engaging in a stark retreat from earlier hardline positions on Iran by signaling acceptance of both Iranian uranium enrichment for civilian energy purposes and allowing Iran to possess conventional ballistic missiles. The two contend that these comments amount to major concessions, with Jimmy describing them as “another big win for Iran” and evidence that the administration has abandoned key objectives it previously promoted. Greenwald cites the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, arguing that Iran has the same right as other signatory nations to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes and notes that previous agreements imposed unusually strict inspections on Iran’s program. The segment emphasizes Trump’s remarks that “it’s a little bit unfair for them not to have some” ballistic missiles and that restrictions on civilian nuclear energy require “a little common sense.”

How Western societies lost their faith in Vision

Why people don't rise up massively today? Why there are no real revolutions? How we tolerate all things that have been imposed to us? These questions come up in people's minds more and more often today in Greece and abroad, due to the economic crisis. Some theories are circulated as an answer, among these, explanations which include, for example, the psychosynthesis of modern Greeks, but the truth is that there is something more fundamental behind this passive behaviour and concerns not only Greece, but the entire Western world. by system failure Prior to the beginning of the 20th century, Friedrich Nietzsche declares God's death and Western world will put all its hopes in science. Laplace's Determinism leads to the almighty man, who through science, can find all the answers for the world. Technology, which naturally comes from scientific discoveries, promises prosperity and a better life for the majority. Science becomes the central "pylon...
