Al Jazeera reports about a “non-Western approach” being pursued by the Taliban. The global shift brought about by American weakness should be a primary concern of the Western media, but of course it isn’t. Only the woke agenda is prioritized in news cycles, hastening America’s trend toward economic and cultural destruction.
America has already handed over $7,000,000,000 dollars of military equipment to the Taliban, but the worst is yet to come if trends in the great global realignment are to continue. The Taliban, which has created the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), is doing what it needs to do for its survival and longterm goals. The Taliban, along with China, Russia, and Iran, all seek to survive and expand, while America under Joe Biden and his woke supporters are working to destroy America’s free society from within.
The International Energy Agency has reported an economic windfall for Russia since its invasion of Ukraine, noting that Russia’s oil revenue jumped to $20,000,000,000 in May alone. Russia has also been building a massive new pipeline with China. And it is expanding the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) — “a 7,200-kilometre (4,474-mile) network of railroads, highways and maritime routes that connects Russia and India through Iran.” Allying with Russia and China would be a further boon for the Taliban.
The worst enemies of America are realigning to strengthen their economies, while Joe Biden compounds his failures and “progressives” remain fixated on transgender issues and how to sink Donald Trump. The headlines are now saturated with anything and everything Democrats and their Left-leaning mainstream media cronies can conjure up to try to justify the Mar-a-Lago raid, which was obviously meant to stymie Trump’s 2024 efforts and divert attention away from Biden’s gross failures. The raid was little more than an extension of the Russian Collusion scam against Trump.
America will suffer further economically, and continue to lose more freedom, as will the EU and UK under the weight of the Red-Green axis about which Jihad Watch and others have been warning for years.
“As West puts Taliban on hold, Kabul eyes future in China, Russia,” by Giorgio Cafiero, Al Jazeera, August 15, 2022:
Monday marks a year since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan after almost 20 years of US occupation.
But the Taliban rulers have much work left to do as they struggle to revive the country’s lifeless economy and address the dire humanitarian situation.
Meanwhile, the Taliban’s international isolation has not helped its cause.
Despite repeated appeals and efforts by Taliban leaders, no country in the world has recognised the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA), as the country is officially known under Taliban rule.
The West has demanded that the Taliban ease curbs on women’s rights and make the government more representative as a condition for recognition. The Taliban says the United States is violating the 2020 Doha Agreement by not recognising its government………
Non-Western countries’ approach
It is important to examine how non-Western countries approach the Taliban government. Several of Afghanistan’s neighbours, including China, Pakistan, and Iran, have accepted Taliban diplomats, along with Malaysia, Qatar (which hosts the Taliban office in Doha), Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Turkmenistan. In fact, Ashgabat, Beijing, Islamabad, and Moscow have even formally accredited Taliban-appointed diplomats, underscoring how the Taliban’s international isolation is relative….
mortimer says
More machinations from the Red-Green Axis of Evil … however, Western neo-Marxists are strangely silent about how the TALIBAN and other ISLAMIC TERRORISTS are becoming bed-fellows with COMMUNIST CHINA and FASCIST RUSSIA.
Russia is now seen to be a FASCIST EMPIRE under GENERALISSIMO PUTIN the ASSASSIN of dissenters.
Putin began his career as an ASSASSIN for the KGB … now he practices his craft on a NATIONAL LEVEL.
But the Left is silent now he is playing footsie with the Taliban.
So, while no Western governments are recognizing the Taliban as a valid government, why are so many eager to recognize the Pallies who are very similar in their aims to the aims of Taliban in implementing discriminatory Sharia law?
PMK says
Western governments will recognize the Taliban in time. They’ll definitely fund them, if only indirectly, through various international aid agencies and in the UN. Afghan ‘refugees’ will continue to pour into Western nations and will be funded as well.
How can Al Jazeera say that no country in the world has recognized the IEA if these countries have accepted Taliban diplomats?
Note that those who currently have a relationship (or whatever) with the Taliban are, to varying degrees, all totalitarian in nature. They’re also in the same neighborhood. The West will ultimately cave, since Joe Biden has pretty much neutered the US on the world stage. Besides, there’s too much mineral wealth for the globalists to get their hands on. They don’t want to be shut out. If Canada and Australia are any indication, the West’s descent into tyranny will continue apace.
PMK says
One question: will the Taliban overlook the Uighurs and Chechens for the sake of a relationship with Russia and China? My guess is yes.

Afghanistan: Taliban eyes future in China and Russia
……………………………..
Grimly no surprise here. Russia especially appeases Islam, considering it a bulwark against the free West, and acts as though it is immune from the Jihad threat–this is not so.
Infidel says
While that may be, Russia is claiming that the destruction of the ammo dump in the Crimea was done by jihadis, and not Ukraine

Not impossible, I suppose, Infidel–Jihadists like attacking Infidels everywhere.
But it is Chechen Muslims and Islamic clerics in other parts of Russia that are claiming that the Russian attack on Ukraine is a Jihad, and have issued Fatwas to prove it.
And I have not heard Hizb ut-Tahrir claim responsibility for this attack in Crimea. And Jihadists are less likely to attack weapons dumps–they are more apt to attack civilians. It is Ukraine that has tended to target weapons magazines.
Besides, in the very article you link to Russia first said that Ukraine was responsible here.
Infidel says
Yeah, and I won’t fault Ukraine if they start targeting positions within Russia itself, be it Belgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Simferopol, Bryansk… Since Russia is at war w/ Ukraine, Russia is as legitimate a battlefield for this war as is Ukraine
Infidel says
Another thing the article noted which was interesting – that Hizb ul Tahrir is banned in Russia, but legal in Ukraine. Given that Russia has been happy to work w/ the likes of Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan, it’s a wonder that b/w Ukraine and Russia, the latter is the one where this jihadist outfit is illegal
