Kiev historian: “The Taliban will help return Donbass”
In the coming years, Russia will have to fight a war in Central Asia, which Ukraine will have to take advantage of.
The correspondent of PolitNavigator reports that Alexander Tkachuk, a historian and first deputy of the Ukrainian Helsinki Union association, writes about this in the Kiev online publication Zerkalo Nedeli.
According to him, the United States, realizing that it was unable to defeat the Taliban, decided to withdraw from Afghanistan in order to create problems for Russia and China, for which it left a mountain of weapons in the country. He also assures that the Chinese will not be able to reach an agreement with the Taliban.
“As for the Russian Federation, such a thing as a full-fledged Russian border with the countries of Central Asia simply does not exist in nature. Six thousand kilometers of uncontrolled space on the side of Kazakhstan literally beckons - “come in and do what you want.” The underbelly of Russia, as Russian political scientists like to say, can be “cut through” to the middle of the Volga region,” writes Tkachuk.
He believes that such a US plan, “even if it is not made public, would be a blow to the guts of two of the US strategic adversaries.”
“There is no doubt that in the near future a liberation struggle will flare up in Central Asia. And in its hellish fire both Chinese projects for world domination and the remnants of Russian imperialism will burn,” the author hopes.
However, he stipulates that China and Russia will not sit idly by and will try to outplay the situation in Central Asia.
“But the fatal processes have already been launched, and Russia is unable to localize or avoid their negative consequences. In the near future, we will see a gradual involvement of the Russian Federation in the battle for Central Asia, and the further, the more thoroughly,” the expert believes.
He believes this will happen within three to five years.
“It is also important to understand that today the Russian Federation is not capable of simultaneously conducting intensive military operations on several fronts. Such a development of events automatically dooms it to defeat, perhaps even catastrophically. Therefore, when this “window of opportunity” opens slightly, we - Ukraine - will need to decisively and recklessly liberate the Russian-occupied Donbass. We need to prepare for this,” Tkachuk sums up.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, SBU General announced US withdrawal from Afghanistan “strategic defeat”... of the Russians.
