Iran Newspaper published a article written by Mohammad-Reza Norouzpour, the head of the Islamic Republic News Agency, on Wednesday.
The IRNA chief wrote that this time Afghanistan has been shaken, but what has happened is neither Arabic nor a spring, because a democratic government, which relied upon the US and lacked public support, has been toppled immediately following the American military pull-out. Spending 88 billion dollars in 20 years could not protect an imported democracy and the Afghan Army could not resist.
The US has been defeated both in software and hardware arenas. Such a disgraceful failure has affected the US’s foreign and internal policies. The irresponsible withdrawal from Afghanistan is a remembrance of the Americans’ flee from Saigon in Vietnam, so the supporters of the Democrat administration are very worried and some call the scandal as “Kabul Gate,” predicting that the democratic party will lose the US 2024 presidential election.
Today’s situation in Afghanistan seems to be a big lesson for the international players, as was the fate of toppled leaders such as the Arab rulers during the Arab Spring. These developments have an obvious message for the US’s allies to see what will happen to those who tie their national security to the American support.
This time, it was not an Arab Spring, but it was the fading of an imported democracy. Now, the American allies are facing important questions: Who is the next government to be left unprotected as a result of the United States’ immoral political behavior? Will the next government be in the Middle East, in Europe, and or even in the Far East?
