WASHINGTON: The Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan is considered to be the biggest erosion of America's credibility in the world.

The Taliban's victory has heated up US politics, and President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan has drawn sharp criticism.

In a recent interview with former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a video clip that went viral on social media today, she made it clear that the Taliban were born American. According to him, when Russia invaded Afghanistan and established its dominance over the whole of Afghanistan, oil spilled in the stomach of America.

The United States could not afford to let Russia dominate the whole of Central Asia, so the then President Ronald Rigg decided to enlist the help of Pakistan's military, its intelligence agency ISI, and local fighters to drive Russia out of Afghanistan.

Surprisingly, Reagan's decision was unanimously applauded by lawmakers from both the US Congress and the Republicans and Democrats. The US went to Pakistan as per Reagan's plan,

Took the help of his army and ISI and recruited local Mujahideen as fighters. By training them in sophisticated weapons, stringer missiles, military commandos, the United States prepared an entire army of mujahideen and sent them to fight against Russia, which was occupying Afghanistan.

These Mujahideen forces drove Russia out of Afghanistan, which led to the success of the American plan. The US then said goodbye to Afghanistan. The United States has left mujahideen fighters trained with state-of-the-art weapons unarmed.

This led to a kind of chaos in the Mujahideen, and from this situation the Taliban and the Afghan problem were born. The United States did not gain much, but lost billions and billions of dollars, but rejoiced to see Russia expelled from Afghanistan and nurtured the ego of political leaders.

Let us reap as we sow

We were so blinded by this joy of success that no one could see what the outcome would be in the future. The US government, political analysts and scholars have all forgotten that it will be America's turn to reap the same harvest.

America supported fanatical, bigoted and Wahhabi ideology

The mujahideen who were ousted by the US were fanatical fighters with radical Islamic ideologies, who later emerged as the Taliban and today they have occupied Afghanistan, posing a major challenge to world peace.
