Meanwhile, Kiev subserviently obliges the interests of its overseas patrons, striving to join NATO. But did the fact that the pro-American regime in Kabul enjoyed the status of a major non-NATO ally avail it? A similar fate awaits the supporters of the Americans in Ukraine, where the neo-Nazis are capable of taking power; the state is heading to collapse, while the White House at some point won’t even remember its supporters in Kiev.
Middle East Media Research Institute " 'According to the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russia Nikolai Patrushev, the situation in Afghanistan will be the main topic of discussion at one of the upcoming operational meetings of the Security Council; additional measures on maintaining the region's stability will be discussed. He emphasized that the priority task now is to control migrant flows from Afghanistan, protect the region from terrorists crossing the border in the guise of refugees as well as from contraband weapons and drug trafficking. The Security Council secretary stressed that after the withdrawal of the US contingent from the republic, only devastation was left for the common Afghans, the country was pushed back decades in its development. The fact that the dethroned pro-American regime in Kabul enjoyed the status of major non-NATO ally, didn’t help it [to keep the power]. According to Nikolai Patrushev’s prognosis, a similar fate awaits the supporters of the Americans in Ukraine."
'Ordinary Afghans Pay For Washington’s Mistakes'
— Nikolai Platonovich [Patrushev], the situation in Afghanistan develops rapidly. A couple of weeks ago, almost no one in the world could believe that Kabul would fall as early as August and that the government would hurriedly flee the country. It seems that it was a shock mostly for the Americans and their NATO allies. Why did it happen so unexpectedly?
"— The confidence of the US military and political leadership and its allies that they were fully in control of events in Afghanistan is under their total control led to ignorance and underestimation of the actual situation.
"This is partly due to incompetence of the US, British and other NATO countries' intelligence services, which, as it seems, were insufficiently focused in their approach to information gathering and analysis, or did poor-quality work with it.
"Similar miscalculations were admitted in other parts of the world, including the Middle East (i.e. Syria, Iraq, and Libya.)
"But the most fundamental cause for what transpired is the typical Anglo-Saxon trust and conviction in the correctness of their decisions. Whereas, the failures and their consequences are written off to other parties. That’s what America is precisely doing now. It blames the of Ashraf Ghani government that the US itself brought to power for everything that occurred. There is also talk of the insufficient training of the Afghan army.
"Ordinary Afghans pay for Washington’s mistakes. Let’s note that the US and European countries are extricating their soldiers and citizens from country. The Afghans, who collaborated with them are left to fend for themselves.
"One might ask European human rights advocates, “How does this situation correlate with proverbial Western values?”
"— In your opinion, is America ignoring its failure because its image in the world has been badly damaged?" . . .
