Political scientist, candidate Grigory Mironov told PolitRussia that war in Central Asia was possible due to the strengthening of the Taliban (banned in the Russian Federation) in Afghanistan. In his opinion, the leadership of the organization, even after an agreement is reached in Moscow, will not be able to stop its radical supporters.
Americans have deepened religious and political strife in Afghanistan. After the departure of the United States, the Taliban began to grow, and if nothing happens, the militants will take over the country. At the same time, it is not certain that the Taliban will limit itself to Afghanistan & nbsp; and will not get used to the neighboring countries in which Muslims live. Betting on the fact that the Taliban will be busy only with IS restrictions (prohibited in the Russian Federation) is meaningless.
The withdrawal of the US military from Afghanistan plays into the hands of Washington & ndash; Russia will be distracted by confrontation in the region. There is a risk that the situation will spill over into the SCO states. China and India also have important Muslim enclaves that can be influenced by propaganda. It is possible that the SCO countries will agree on some events at the summit on Afghanistan on 14 July. “ But what means and methods will this & nbsp; done & ndash; it is not yet clear, “Mironov remarked.
Russia should strengthen the Central Asian border with Afghanistan to prevent conflict. At the same time, the Kabul government will find it extremely difficult to maintain power.
Recall that former Taliban leaders assured in Moscow that they would not be allowed to turn the country into a bridgehead against Russia.
