Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Afghanistan (Al-Manar TV): Of course, the scene is very great (in importance/magnitude) and full of lessons. We must all (follow, ponder, analyse it) – and this (need) does not end with one or two speeches (that I or others may deliver about this)...
...because (this great development) is a running (story) that demands from all people to ponder over it, to sincerely and truly ponder over it.
(All people must ponder/analyse Afghan developments), whether experts, analysts, men and women, everyone. Whatever is said about the issue of Afghanistan and what is currently happening (there),...
...is little compared to the importance and implications of these events in Afghanistan on the historical, strategic, intellectual, cultural, political, psychological, and moral levels
The first people who must analyse these events and discover their strategic and historical implications are the peoples of this region. What is happening now in Afghanistan is a great and magnificent lesson. #Afghanistan
It suffices to watch the scenes that we are all witnessing on our screens, which (are being broadcast) today by all world media and not only on US outlets, no matter how hard they try to censor (these images), and even (on) social networking (sites)… #Afghanistan
…(social media sites) which the Americans (initially) made available (to the masses) – along with the Internet in general – in order to ignite color revolutions in (world) countries, these (events in Afghanistan indicate how) the magic has turned on the magician. #Afghanistan
Oh how glorious God is! In Saigon Vietnam, (we all saw) how people were climbing the stairs to board the aircraft, and how at Kabul airport people were climbing the stairs to board the aircraft, such a strange duplication - is this a coincidence? #Afghanistan
Today, Biden tried to defend himself. (He was told): instead of rushing to withdraw (US forces), you were saying there are 300,000 or 400,000 Afghan forces (including army & police), & you were working on a settlement between the Afghan government & the Taliban...
...(a settlement in the form of) a transitional government based on partnership. (If you continued on this path), what occurred (today) would not have happened, & you would have withdrawn with dignity? Why didn't you do this? Because (Biden) was unable to remain any longer!
I hope what Biden said today & in recent days, & what US (officials) are talking about, (that you all) read (their words) carefully & give them some time, because they're tied to understanding historic & strategic implications of US & NATO’s defeat & failure in Afghanistan.
What did (Biden) say? ‘We spent over a trillion dollars, meaning a thousand billion dollars, a thousand billion dollars were spent on Afghanistan’. Yet they left empty-handed, humiliated, defeated & as failures. How humiliating & shameful according to their own & Western media.
What does this mean for the people (of our region) who believe that the US is a semi-god, knows everything, studies everything, knows about and (correctly) approaches everything, and has powerful research centers and magnificent plans?
This is America in the region, ignorant & lacking understanding. Up until today, how many decades have passed and they continue to repeat the same mistakes, the same failed experiments, and the same failed bets. These are also lessons.
(A slip of tongue by Biden revealed how) he wanted a civil war in Afghanistan, he wanted the Afghan forces to fight with the Taliban, for hundreds of thousands to fight hundreds of thousands, while he sits and looks on at the devastation.
If (Biden) had (any) humanity and had any concern for the (Afghani) people, as he claims, he would have struck a peace settlement before his withdrawal from Afghanistan. This is the moral collapse of the American administration. #Afghanistan #Afghan_lives_matter
