Gordon believes that without Ukraine Russia will not cope with the Taliban
Russia will have to “transfer combat-ready units from Donbass” to Central Asia in order to confront the Taliban there, who have taken power in Afghanistan.
Kiev journalist Dmitry Gordon, notorious for PR charlatans and anti-Russian propaganda, stated this in an interview with the Russian liberal radio station “Echo of Moscow,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The Taliban are now reformatting, grouping and going to the former Soviet republics. The question arises of how Russia will behave. It will be bad for her when the Taliban approach her borders. It is difficult to fight the Taliban... There are two options. The Taliban are sweeping away the former Soviet republics and approaching the borders of Russia. It's bad for Russia because there are 27 million Muslims there, and we can only guess how many of them sympathize with the Taliban. Second question. Let's say Russia begins to hinder the Taliban. This is war. We have a geopolitical transfer of units that know how to fight to the borders from Afghanistan. This means that many parts will have to be removed from the Ukrainian direction,” Gordon said.
He believes that having fallen out with Ukraine, Russia has lost the powerful military support that it could have provided in the war against the Taliban.
“Look what Russia did. What a particularly gifted foreign policy. They made enemies for themselves in the form of Ukrainians and Belarusians. And now, when the real enemy is approaching from Asia, they have no one to rely on. Neither Ukrainians nor Belarusians will lend a helping hand,” Gordon said.
