After the American withdrawal and the control of the Taliban… Will Turkey open the doors of Kabul Airport to the jihadists, as it did in Syria?

Twenty years of military operations that America fought in Afghanistan, but it failed miserably in forming a single interim government in Afghan territory, and after this failure, the American forces decided by a decision of US President Joe Biden to withdraw completely from Afghanistan, but the American withdrawal is not a withdrawal to the end of the military role Not only, but it is the end of great military missions that spanned twenty years. In the year 2001, on the eleventh of September, was the beginning of the American invasion of Afghanistan, and it aimed at that time under the pretext of eliminating the terrorist armed groups that carried out the September attacks, and during twenty years of military operations in Afghanistan many American soldiers were killed and many were wounded, but the task was not easy and the evidence The failure of US forces to eliminate the Taliban, form interim governments, and withdraw completely from Afghan territory. The twenty years that the United States spent in controlling Afghanistan and eliminating the Taliban give us many lessons that require the correct application of these lessons and the correct selection of places for their application for any country other than America that has the same goal of entering Afghan territory.
“America’s withdrawal undermines its credibility with its partnerships, specifically its partnerships in the Middle East.” from the Afghan border. The nature of this orderly withdrawal focuses on the heavy costs that resulted from the termination of current commitments with many countries.
“Times of crisis constitute an opportunity to promote mutual interests.” In light of this American withdrawal from Afghanistan, the American administration “Biden’s administration” must focus intensely on the future plans that mainly support its partners in the world, specifically the Middle East, and I especially mention Iraq and Syria, where the United States affirmed with Its Middle Eastern or European allies must achieve common interests represented in security and stability represented by the presence of NATO forces “training missions” and at the same time, deep thinking in order to support its allies and partners in Syria. In order for the United States to continue to support stability in the Middle East, it must invest a lot in relations with its regional partners by dividing its time and energies, which have begun to drain in ways and methods that reflect the extent to which the current strategic goals have been achieved in a way that makes it achieve what it aspires to.
It seems that the magic turned on the magician, America in order to facilitate the transfer of its resources to meet all its needs and priorities at all levels in the Middle East region. That withdrawal from Afghanistan coincided with what the Taliban is doing to seize the ruling and controlling authority and the refugee problem. Therefore, resource constraints must not be ignored indefinitely.
“The American withdrawal from Afghanistan and the extent of its impact on the American presence in the Middle East, specifically Iraq and Syria” After the defeat and the catastrophic failure with the withdrawal of the great power America from Afghanistan, we will expect a new and significant increase in recruitment for jihad work in the world, specifically the Middle East region, this defeat forced the American forces to withdraw in a way servile, and this confirms the victory of the Taliban and the victory of the great jihadi al-Qaeda, and this victory will serve as an important prelude to a series of successive recruitments for jihadist movements and operations for years to come, and this poses a very great danger to the US administration, interests, relations and US territories in the future. Therefore, America must intensify cooperation and extend interests with its allies and partners to preserve American interests and territories from the danger of jihadist expansion. Unfortunately, what happened to America and the American administration, including the victory of the Taliban, the defeat and the withdrawal of American forces, has become a state that is not trusted by its allies, meaning that America is a selfish state whose commitments are limited only to the period of political seasons in the American capital, Washington, and this withdrawal showed its partners how much they do not trust America at all times and can Abandoning any country that has an ally in the coming decades. This leads us to ask the following question: If Biden withdrew from Afghanistan despite his prior knowledge of the serious consequences of this withdrawal on the extent of the credibility of the United States and the renewal of terrorist thought, what is the degree of his commitment to maintaining the “American presence” in the Middle East, specifically Iraq and Syria? This question leads us to the escalation of Iranian ambitions and the exacerbation of instability in those areas of the Middle East disputed between America and Iran, as the victory of the Taliban increases Iranian pressures and ambitions with the help of its allies and proxies by extending pressure and control in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. Therefore, America must immediately accelerate and strengthen its relations with its allies again and focus on its priorities and commitments in the Middle East, or else it will lose an excuse, and we will say as Arabs, then, that this is the time for the collapse of the great power America. But this all depends primarily on whether the Taliban will be able to seize the reins of power and seek to achieve security and stability in Afghanistan, or whether it will plunge the country again into the cycle of civil wars and disintegration and make it once again the covetousness of any country that wants to enter it, or it will allow ISIS and Al-Qaeda to return again to Afghanistan or It will suffice itself in governing the country, and this leads us, in light of America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, to ask the following question: Will America think again about returning to Iraq with the help of its Arab allies after its withdrawal from Iraq in 2011? I think, but I categorically assert that this is the time for America to withdraw from many countries to recalculate again after its failure, its withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq again this month by withdrawing Patriot missile batteries from Saudi Arabia, and its withdrawal from Kuwait, Jordan and Qatar, which I will call America’s escape collectively. . It is a previously repeated behavior and approach that began in Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and others.
Since US President Joe Biden took office, the decision to withdraw is one of the most dangerous decisions so far; Because Biden is establishing a new phase of escaping and withdrawing from the emerging conflicts in the Middle East, which America played the largest role in their upbringing, leaving the Afghan government to face its fate alone before the Taliban, but he vowed to flee and withdraw from Afghan lands. But this leads us to go back to years ago during the era of Obama, the former US president, when he decided to abruptly withdraw from Iraq to replace the US forces, ISIS, which wreaked havoc in Iraq. So America’s strategy now is to withdraw from the disintegration of the Middle East, whatever its losses, land, sea and air.
“Will there be any Turkish presence in Afghanistan?” After the American withdrawal, all countries, especially Iran, are watching if there will be Turkish targets on the eastern borders of Afghanistan, and this fear comes after Turkey, “Ankara”, announced its full responsibility for the security and protection of Kabul Airport and the International Aviation Administration, and its responsibility for securing officials in their visits to Afghanistan, and it is known that there are An agreement called the Doha Agreement between America and the Taliban, which recognizes the withdrawal of all American forces, including NATO forces. It is also known that the agreement between Turkey and America contradicts the Doha Agreement; The reason is that the Turkish forces are also part of NATO, and for this reason the Taliban announced in advance their security that the Turkish forces will be considered as occupying forces inside Afghan territory. Turkey aims at the time of America’s withdrawal to expand its bases in Asia and the Caucasus, and the Turkish administration wants to make Turkey a regional power and its goals are international.
The fears now, after Turkey manages Kabul Airport, is that this will be a gateway for militants, mujahideen and terrorist groups to enter Afghan territory; Because Turkey turned in an earlier period into an important crossing for terrorists to enter Syria and Iraq, southwest Asia, and its role in strengthening ISIS and its influence. And it remains secure permanently, and at the same time supports terrorist groups.
After the withdrawal of US forces, Afghanistan has become an empty neighborhood and a conflict between neighboring countries, including Turkey, Russia, China, Iran, India and a number of neighboring countries. This conflict between these countries and Turkey threatens its security and a source of tension for it due to Turkey’s support for terrorist and extremist groups.
