| Is Afghanistan the First Domino to Fall? |
| 2021-08-24 |
| [Strategic Culture] It certainly looks like a domino that has been put in position poised to fall waiting for others to take their places in the line. With America withdrawing from Afghanistan abruptly after some 20 years, one big question is being discussed throughout the strategic sphere by those both in big institutions and laying on their couches — is the American loss in Afghanistan the first domino to fall in the eventual collapse of the Global Hegemon? After all, Afghanistan is the "graveyard of empires" probably because it is an expression that sounds nice and because the Soviets fell apart a few years after losing to the locals. So this must be the "beginning of the end" right? Well, we should never be so quick as to jump onto narrow narratives without looking at the big picture. Side-by-side images of the Americans and their allies fleeing Vietnam and Afghanistan by helicopter are flooding Facebook, posted by those in the Alternative Media who take great joy in any loss by the 21st century’s "Evil Empire" but they seem to forget that just a few decades after losing in Vietnam the United States won the Cold War and took dominance over the planet. |

| #9 Gotta kinda think this was in the works when Biden approved the Russian gas pipeline, way back when. He thinks he kept Europe from becoming another Ukraine. |

| #2 thunder mountain, g(r), g(r) PB, Boris - It is our assessment, that you have failed in your mission as an 'agent of influence', all indications are the people see right through you, no credence is being given to your posts and commentaries, and they have devolved into nothing more than thoughtless childish tokens of harassment. Now finish your bottle of Slivovitz, and come along, we have other fish to fry elsewhere. |
