Much of the world is tired of monsters and seeks not a "re-set" but a rebirth of its original identities and historical legacies… which have been held too long hostage by a ruthless all-devouring Empire.
Tariq Marzbaan and Nora Hoppe interview Professor Karaganov from Russia's leading public foreign policy organisation, conversing with him on an array of issues, including Western escalation against Russia, the war in Ukraine, colonialism, and the genocide in Gaza.
Why were Tajiks recently picked to act as terrorists and by whom?
The US/NATO bloc is counting on Pashtun extremists for their imminent destabilisation agenda in Central Asia – aimed at containing China and Russia and eventually subjugating their populations, up to and including direct military confrontation.
All attempts to coerce the majority of the non-Pashtun population into accepting an "Afghan" identity have failed so far. But coercion was not the real reason for this failure.
Why the Taleban do not apply their culture of negotiation to their foreign policy boils down to a question of (in)ability and (un)willingness.
Seeing the transition that the Green Party has made from its beginnings and the values it held at the time to what it became today, one cannot help but ask: What actually turned what was once an anti-war, anti-NATO party into a bellicose, pro-NATO party?
It looks like Pakistani elites have been fatally mistaken about the Taleban and Afghanistan. Pakistani policy has always defined Afghanistan as its strategic depth. It is into the abyss of this "depth" that Pakistan now risks plunging.
The US and the West may have been condemned and blamed for what they ultimately wreaked on Afghanistan… yet, all that happens in Afghanistan continues to be seen, interpreted, and disseminated largely from a Western neoliberal point of view.
Rumors are circulating of a coup being plotted by some elements of the Taleban.
