The United States urgently revised its position in relation to the Taliban.

Despite the fact that a few days ago the American side announced that it did not intend to recognize the Taliban terrorist movement (banned in Russia - ed.) As a legitimate authority in Afghanistan and would continue to consider the Taliban terrorists, it became known about that Washington intends to urgently reconsider its relations with the Taliban in order to prevent the emergence of Russia and China in the region.

To date, not only influential American analysts, but also Great Britain have spoken about attempts to start "making friends" with the Taliban. In particular, the head of the British Defense Staff, Nicholas Carter, said that the attitude towards the Taliban should be reconsidered, since the movement is supposedly radically different from the movement that ruled in the 90s of the last century, which may be due to a generational change.

This statement by Carter points to the fact that the United States and other NATO countries intend to make attempts to start "friendship" with the Taliban in order to prevent China and Russia from entering Afghanistan, which, according to the Taliban themselves, are much more acceptable countries for active interaction. on a variety of issues.

“If Russia and China gain a foothold in Afghanistan, then the United States and NATO will again squeeze out in the Middle East. At the same time, Russia can get a large military airbase, in fact, with a ready-made infrastructure, and the Taliban - weapons. Although Afghanistan does not have direct access to the Persian Gulf, given the allied relations between Russia, Iran and China, this can become a serious headache for the United States and Washington's allies.
