Afghanistan | Not the Success US Claims

EXTRACTS  |  SUMMARY
Afghanistan
2015, Jan. - US military handover efffected

REMAINING
  • abt 12,000-13,500 foreign troops
  • incl 9,800 U.S. soldiers
  • throughout Afghanistan
  • under post-2014 NATO-led mission 'Operation Resolute Support'
NATO new role activities
defined: Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA)
/ military cooperation treaty
sovereignty and independence constitute little more than a facade
Afghanistan remains a country under occupation [political analyst, Yemen]

"Afghanistan is no closer to controlling its institutions than Washington is to defeating terror."

"inherited a disbanded mercenary army which the state cannot possibly maintain on its own."

"NATO has locked Kabul into a financial trap to better assert control and defend its interests in the region."

Afghanistan
= pawn in The Great Game

"war in Afghanistan is to the benefit of foreigners" former Pres Karzai

Afghan: strong resentment toward Western powers

Afghans ... have come to understand USA as yet another imperialistic power

[prior powers: British & Russian]

civilian casualties in targeted attacks justified by US as: collateral damage

USA footprint of neo-imperial power operates unchallenged

March 2012 - US Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales
found guilty of killing 16 Afghan civilians
rampage

No US handover to Afghan authorities
“One prime prerogative of all empires is that it is subject to no laws or accountability other than its own, even when it comes to crimes committed on other nations’ soil and against its people,” Greenwald wrote.

Washington plays Big Brother to impoverished Afghanistan
Afghanistan has hand in own demise by developing codependency

Afghanistan
severely diminished — empty shell
no institutional substance
very limited economic resources
abject poverty
plagued by hunger

home to billions of dollars 
untapped natural resources >> energy + precious minerals

economy continues to rely heavily on foreign aid

"United States and its allies have instead thrown billions of dollars at the military, prioritizing the development of a mercenary army via private U.S. contractors rather than bank on Afghans to rebuild their state"

Afghanistan
cannot pay troops’ salaries without help
does not own its army
foreign powers pay the bills
security has deteriorated

Afghanistan
cannot even feed itself
hunger is rampant
/ yet it is expected to provide for upkeep of mercenary army

Despite military handover
vulnerable to outside control due to financial destitution

corruption, nepotism and political wrangling
= issues

vicious circle of political dependency
belief that solutions lie outside of own borders

Afghanistan toss up: Taliban or neo-colonial servitude

Afghanistan
must revive economy / provide sustainable source of income

COMMENT

Mercenaries and other US federal contractors always come out on top.  

I'm assuming they're US mercenaries.  ***

Greenwald arguing against the US refusal to hand over the soldier (that probably lost the plot), isn't something I'd support.  I wouldn't hand over anybody, for even worse treatment than they'd get in the US.  Imagine the barbaric treatment he'd be subjected to if the Americans handed him over.

That was a good article.

Resources is probably why the West is there ... that, and whatever the strategic rewards of 'The Great Game' offers ... (I've forgotten ... might have to brush up again on that).

*** Checking again
  • they're talking 'inherited' and 'disbanded mercenary army,' that's Afghan militants / mercenaries;
  • but they're also talking:"development of a mercenary army via private US contractors"

So they're paying US contractors to train and supervise a mercenary army?

US mercenaries win/win.
