1) Poignant reminder as to how hypocrisy is the inevitable solution to hiding real motives in a way that doesn’t allow others apply the same methods. West achieved what it wanted for Afghanistan and left it exactly as it had always wanted: under totalitarian grasp of mullahcracy.

2)Biden and others may whine that they didn’t want regime change: no they still do and will continue to try and change regimes that don’t suit their long term plans for division of world into zones of socio-economic and military spheres of dominance.
3) what they wanted to change in Afghanistan was prevent modernisation and prevent weakening of the Islamist infrastructure in that fatal blindfold of Atlanticist fratricidal obsession with bringing Russia down (while Russ desperately sought to be European and not Asian).
4)Atlanticist axis primary goal was to strengthen Sunni mullahcracy of AFPAK as an immunisation against Russian overland access to Indian Ocean as well as a natural destabiliser of the entire zone to get countries like India, China keep on spending on appeasing or fighting jihad.
5) note that wherever the west went in the Islam dominated societies struggling with modernisation since WWI, it took the exact sequential and incremental steps to increase power of the Sunni ag Shia -the latter inevitably hv “nationalist”and closet anti-mullah threads, and
6)within the Shia it always took steps to empower the more jihadi and Islamist Shia like Khomeini than the less mullah bootlicker born Shiites. It’s not that west is doing this innocently or it didn’t know the long term effects of what it was doing. It’s very aware ideologically.
7) the west’s think tanks, state and academia, and extensive intel apparatus for intervention in international affairs - all have shown a remarkable consistency in going after what they consider inferior, potentially conquerable, or resistant societies and their ideologies.
8) there has never been any let up in going after Hindus, Communist Russia (not communist China which was seen as fratricidal tool in weakening Russia), Japanese or myanmarese militant Buddhism, but zero tactical or real support for Tibetan Buddhists.
9) Yet with all that ideological understanding, West’s hilarious position that its the “stricter, more austere implementation of the law” or ideology which is “bad and anti humanitarian” even though the “law/ideology is itself good”. In the judiciary worshiping west,
10) will anyone get away unharmed if they say “this judge is a more strict interpreter of the law” “therefore evil/bad/anti-humanitarian”? What does the west expect a believer in the “law” to do if told “the law is very good” but “strict interpretation of that good law” is evil!
11)The west that maintains centuries long ideological crusades to undermine and attack ideologies of peoples& cultures it deems resistant to submitting to the west, also knows that Sunni Islam wont submit to it either yet it puts up that ludicrous defence of the ideology itself.
12) This is simply because there are two factors that blind European imperialist thinking: its modelling of itself as a modern reinvention and extension of the roman narrative of superiority and imperial dominance where subject ppl existed only for the benefit of the “home elite”
13) and a possible latent attraction and admiration for sadomasochism more prominent in both republican and imperial Roman culture, than the Greek, (which was also infamous, just less in public discourse) taste for slavery and enslavement in its grossest perverted forms.
14) In Sunni jihad the west instinctively sees an ideology not explicitly tied to ethnic pride, even if latent, but because of its universalist pretension - a good cover for imperialist claims of superiority and applicability to all for underlying subjugation to a “centre”.
15) Thus Sunni jihad has revived the same hope in the latent “imperial Rome” that another ideology from eastern Mediterranean held out attraction for about 2000 years ago. The problem is the lens through which West reconstructs Sunni jihad is a carefully self-edited Xtian memory.
16) In that Xtian memory, the violence on pagans by which the faith was essentially militarily imposed, is forgotten, or hidden from discourse, the problematic normalisation of slavery and its perversions, the sadism that is retained throughout - has all been sanitized.
17) this makes it easy for those placed in positions of ideological hegemony over western societies - to try and sanitize their project. But the end product is a poisoning of the rest of the world so that it is made unliveable for humanity. This is not a fatalist view.
18) I see it as recognising a problem correctly, which in itself is a great starting point if even a small number recognise it. The solutions will come from it, noting that compromises can be necessary - but only to buy time, without making the compromise a logic to capitulate.
19) Sunni jihad is using the west for its own purposes, just as early Xtian organisers used Roman factionalism and politics within the military - but in the end, it will emasculate or convert the west just as Xtianity did. The first results of that was rollback of Roman Empire.
20)Hindus are uniquely placed, demographically and ideologically to become a source of resistance and an island in an ocean of jihad. They will have to play a super-sophisticated game with China -but there is an opportunity for them here.
