China controls or will control afganistan like the usa controls japan. Stop BSing. The ukraine conflict could have been prevented by nato and usa up to the day the invasion occurred. Both usa and Russia lost the day this conflict began and China won. I’ve lived in China over ten years, if the usa and Russia are evil, China is hell incarnate.
@@bathhatingcat8626 Afghanistan is not Pakistan we have no debt to china
You forgot to mention Kazakhstan, who opened taliban embassy in Astana recently, and seeks to invest in Afghanistan. Its also interest in Afghanistan as a trade route to Pakistan and Iran ports, wich will help Kazakhstan to bypass Russia's territory on export. Searching of alternative ways for kazakh export is currently number 1 task of Tokayev government
but you don't border Afghanistan, right?
The Cold War, can you please make a video on Françafrique, which is basically France's Monroe Doctrine approach towards Africa. I want you to make a video on this topic, since the concept of Françafrique dates back to the Cold War era.
I hope they do it. It's a topic that isn't as well understood in my part of the world.
Caspian report has done like 3 videos on that topic, everyone does the exact same video acting like France has as much control now as in the cold war
@@williamthebonquerer9181 I've seen it but I'd like to hear The Cold War's take on it.
@@HerrZenki they all use the same sources wiki, economist and Washington post so you will always hear the same takes
8:16 I’m not defending the US invasion of Afghanistan. Its just that one of the big reasons that bush invaded was that the taliban refused to hand over bin Laden to the US. What source are you guys citing for the claim of taliban offering to hand him over?
Taliban did offer to hand him over, if the US talked it out with them and provided them with the evidence that Bin Laden was the mastermind behind everything....The US refused, demanded unconditional surrender and then invaded
From what I can remember, the Taleban point blank refused to hand over Bin Laden, citing Pashtun hospitality traditions. *After* the start of allied action they moderated to handing over Bin Laden to a third party only if absolute proof was given of his personal guilt. I’d love to see something saying they were prepared to hand him over.
Just google it.. , you will see tons of articles pop up. US ones too.. Dumbass Americans cried about 3000 lives when they smuggled so many weapons in Afghanistan that caused chaos in the civil war in the 90s which is why 9/11 happened.
Taliban were playing for time claiming they would hand him over if the USA have proof and then denied all proof
Afghanistan should be left on its own under the Taliban. The people clearly want to live under the Sharia. They don’t understand or want democracy, why force it upon them? If they like to live like in the Middle Ages, let them.
I hope some day Afghanistan can be a half decent country to live in as a normal citizen. I can't see any chance of that happening in my lifetime, but I guess time will tell
The sanctions just seem like a spiteful reaction to failure, it's not as if recognition of a regime is conditional elsewhere.
Yes sanctions are just American ego politics they lost now they tryna act like they still are under control 😅
The Taliban isn't keeping their side of the bargain agreed upon previously. Why should they be rewarded for it?
@@news26boom actually it doesn't matter afganistan is so poor that u sanction then or not will make a difference of Penny's only and unlike north Korea they are atleast not pursuing a nuclear policy still u people sanction them they are atleast thinking of there people unlike north korea but US recognise N.korean regime but not afgan govt
Its pure hypocrisy
It is conditional in Myanmar
@@news26boom the US broke the deal first by not withdrawing according to the timeline set up under the Trump deal
One of the best balanced analysis on current Afghanistan right now
so glad the us took an L in afghanistan
It´s interesting to watsh such a modern theme on this channel.
Thanks
Respect for a very insightful and detailed analysis of the Afgan present and future prospects. Not an easy topic by any means.
It’s election year here in Pakistan, and general consensus is that Imran khan will come back. Once that happens, we will most likely see a friendship develop between Kabul & islamabad.
I hope there will be peace 🕊️ for everyone america and Pakistan and Afghanistan
@@calvinduke4810 pakistan help ukraine because ussr attack afghan brother destory soviets and russia during 1971 war help india and pakistan revenge for russia help ukranians !!!!!.
Army won't let that happen and tbh do good reason
And anyway army controls foreign policy and defence not the civilian govt
It's great to see people having hope in a hopeless situation.
There will be no 'friendship' until the Durrand line issue is resolved.
The only difference is that while opposition is not too lenient on the issue of TTP. Imran Khan has a soft corner for the Taliban and will bend over to please them.
Still it wouldn't make much difference.
Why do you believe that america is responsible for the afghan famine?
Also why do you believe The taliban government would be the first dictatorship to actually use relief money to help famine victims?
Why did the US back Islamists against Dr Najibullah in the 80s.he warned the us what would happen they didnt listen and 9/11 happened. The CIA continued to back Islamists against Dr Najibs socialist gov even after the Soviets left yet we beat them in Jalalabad 1989 unlike the US puppet gov the old army knew how to fight
I would also like a response to this. Especially the second question.
@Fax Machine Sadly, many people are going to die, taliban won't really care, and the anti-American crowd will vilify us
I hope ladies & kids who have potential are able to flee and are welcomed as refugees
Litrally Americans recognised north Korean selfish dictatorship but not Taliban who is working for its own people atleast
Such a complicated issue.
No it's not Taliban are just like cat's it's all about what you did for them before an what you can do for them today. It's very simple westerners simply don't know how to act towards that kind of blunt what's in it for me attitude. We love our values and high horses.
simple
just leave them alone
I remember first hearing about the Taliban and Afghanistan thanks to an old episode of the TV series "7th Heaven." Before hand I didn't know about any of it. And this was prior to 9/11. What aa longtime ago that was.
As a radio fan who was brought up during the cold war, can I suggest that you devote an episode to the radio war that was fought by both sides? I have in mind Radio Liberty, Radio Free Europe and from the other side; Radio Moscow, Radio Peking amongst many others. What do you and your viewers think?
They also had one during the Iraq war by a young Iraqi idk if it’s the same but he fought a “radio war” against the government to give the ppl the truth and counter propaganda mainly told by the US.
Pakistani Taliban had Radio Mulla. If I remember correctly, the guy who ran it ordered a hit on Malala yusufzai
Its very sad that the Afghans are about to go through another hardship. What are the chances that the Taliban will start fighting each other like with Sudan?
It happened before I give them 1 year max till infighting turns outside.
Not happening for at least 10 years and if it happened it would be much worse for people than the current situation
I don't know the exact number, but hundreds of thousands of Afghan refugees have been evicted from Pakistan in the last few weeks. I wonder if they will cause disturbance.
Someday Afghanistan will see the light at the end of this tunnel
They will stand up, and walk into an era of democracy, and equality, and all its people will be safe and free in a land of such history and culture.
I have to believe that, all people have the right to be free
Afghans neither understand nor want democracy. Their idea of freedom is living like cavemen under the Sharia.
Except for republicans. They can’t have freedom. A bunch of people take over Seattle, ban cops, and shoot 3 black people? Perfectly fine. No arrests give them a billion dollar
But people who protest the government which resulted in the police mass slaughter? Illegal and should be banned
Unfortunately no they won’t, they have a primitive tribal mindset over there. That entire country/region is just a waste of time trying to bring into the modern times
They dont want to have a society of sodomy and 50 genders
Let people get rid of hunger and epidemics and let people get education first. First try to develop some mines in the country to help the country to industrialize. Democracy is meaningless for people that are starving to death.
there is no "moderate" Taliban.
there is only one taliban. all of Taliban "faction" wants and agreed with islamist sharia law Afghanistan and deep traditionalist/conservative afghan culture.
the only difference is, how to achieve it? some want a hard, using force approach in every aspect, some want to use soft approach, more advice and educating type approach, some want to use mixture of both, both hard and soft.
it is the same with relationship with western world/UN etc. some want to cut off relation with western countries/un for good, some prefer a pragmatic engagement, and some that are in the middle.
but every Taliban faction agreed, that the issue of Afghanistan is their own internal matter and totally reject outside influences.
Interesting kind of video. I am sure that i would love to see equivalent videos about Iraq, Syria, Iran and generally the rest of the middle east!!
This channel is underrated. Needs to be mentioned on Kings and General more
So even post cold war videos are done, but still no Cuban missile crisis? I have the impression everything is getting covered except this most heated part of the cold war. I guess I will just drop and look for this content elsewhere. I mean couple of years of channel existence but not a word on one of the most iconic events?
It’s also one of the most overdone parts of Cold War retrospective series.
I’m glad he’s focusing more the lesser known part of the Cold War rather than the big hits that have been ran into the ground.

It's true that the Taliban has allowed the water from the Harirud river to flow to Iran but the actual water dispute between Iran and Afghanistan is with the Hirmand river in the south and the dam constructed by Afghanistan. The Taliban hasn't done much regarding this and there have been quiet a few border skirmishes even some involving artillery and heavy weapons.
Iran is currently seeking peace with Taliban mostly because the Islamic republic is obsessed with a meaningless conflict with Israel and the US which doesn't allow it to engage in any other war.
That's odd, because I remember watching on Nightline that Iran was trying to inflitrate Afganistan, but was not really succedding.

Another wonderful, informative, and truthful labeled video about Afghanistan 🇦🇫 since 1970 . Thank you( Cold War ) channel for sharing......
Afghanistan is a lost cause, until they get out of a simple tribal mindset just leave them alone. Those people aren’t worth the time or energy to help.
Thank you for an interesting exploration of a modern topic. I would be very interested to learn more about Afghan history and modern Afghanistan in future episodes.
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
Fun fact the Mujahedeen leaders like Ahmad Shah Massoud, Rabbani, Haqqani etc were in Pakistan before 1978 training to overthrow Daoud as they had failed to previously do so in 1974. Also the CIA began supporting these groups about 6 months before the Soviets entered Afghanistan (Read Jimmy Carter's National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski book).
Also there was a unit in the Soviet army called the Muslim Battalion which was created after a Phone call between General Secretary Nur Muhammad Taraki and the Soviets where he claimed that Herat was being taken over by Iranian soldiers dressed as civilians and he requested the Soviets get soldiers from similar ethnic makeups as Afghanistan to wear Afghan uniforms and come help
Cia and isi 🤢
Kommer ni att ladda upp på Lördag också? Will you upload on Saturday also?
Ja. Yes.
The Soviet Afghan War 1979 to 1989 is the downfall of the Soviet Union
The Soviet Afghan War 1979 to 1989 it may lead Jihad
And there's two leaders
1 bin laden founder of Al Qaeda
2 zarqawihi the founder of ISIS
Not a dime should go to Afghanistan you don’t want us there that’s fine you don’t get to have money simple as that

Forget you are provider of anything!
Its "The God" our lord who provides us & many a times he tests with hunger, deaths, loss,etc., to see which of us are good in our deeds!!!
You hold no wealth & death will take away from you wtvr you have!!
Do you fear now to not associate paryners with "The God" in the name of Son, Reasons,etc.?
I disagree.
The Cold War is still active, only the players have changed.
Surprisingly weak episode I’m afraid, from dubious claims that the Teleban wanted to hand over Bin Laden, contrary to what they were publicly stating at the time, to frankly giving the Taleban’s behaviour since their takeover a free pass, not mentioning just how many promises they have broken on integrating previous troops, women’s rights, not carrying out retributions, and so on.
Also claiming famine was due to foreign sanctions was made as a statement without any reasoning. Food aid is not under sanction, and there is plenty of fertile land in Afghanistan to grow crops (and if the Taleban crack down on opium cultivation as they have promised to do in the past that might help to a certain extent. C- , felt too much like a puff piece.
Completely agree. I love this channel normally but he's dreaming if he believes the taliban were ever going to hand over Bin Laden. IIRC, they demanded to see evidence that he was behind 9/11 so they could "try him based on islamic law". I always got the feeling that it was a bullshit stalling tactic that we, the US, rightfully didn't accept.
The claim that they wanted to hand him over was from October of 2001 and is well documented
@@JoeSmith-gj8be it was a bad faith negotiation. They said they would hand him over if evidence was provided and then denied all evidence shown to implicate him. Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated September 10th 2001 in Afghanistan by Al-Qaida that's all the proof you need for Al-Qaida and Taliban co-operation. Its such a common thing to stall for time, when Russia was waiting for good weather to invade Ukraine they pretended to negotiate
Slow but sure, the role of US in Afghan is fading away, replacing by China, India, Pakistan, Iran, Qatar and Russia
Afghanistan...did you run out of material on Indonesia? Jk, love your channel 😂
Cold war, could you make a video on the cold war situation in Punjab India during the 70-80s cumulating with Operation Bluestar and the Sikh Genocide ?

Sikh genocide ??? Dude my own Gramps along side many hindu Nationalist organization like RSS , VHP etc helped the Sikhs during that dark phase it was only the Congress and communists who riots
Leave Afghanistan alone .. otherwise you will be defeated again and again ETC...
What about Durand line that belongs to Afghanistan.
America might think Afghanistan is already like China in 1980s, but it is more like China in 1949.
Undeniably, China experienced Great Leap and Cultural Revolution, but at least the Chinese life expectancy rose from 35 to 65, and literacy rate from 10% to 70%. You could say it is global trend, but Afghanistan (and many underdeveloped countries) failed to follow the global trend. Under American occupation, Kabul has some modernized life. However, for vast rural Afghanistan, no matter under US or Soviet or Taliban, they are still living in Middle Ages. If there could be social revolution and more movements to give basic education and medical care for Afghan peasants' kids, Taliban would probably never rise again.
The Soviets tried to most forceful modernization attempt and found minor success in some cities but still not full
Hope Afghanistan becomes great nation after foreign interventions are defeated for good. Lots of respect for Afghans defending their way of life rather than being imposed by invaders
The Western backed government collapsed even quicker than the Soviet Union back did back in the day. It would be embarassing, but we all know that the war in Afghanistan was about making the military industry and contractors rich and not actually stabilise the country. Otherwise they would have done something against the ramping corruption that makes Russia look like an above board country.
What can you do about societal wide corruption? You are literally just saying a conspiracy theory now. Arms sales haven't gone down since the war ended
The war was just another American failure.
How can anyone, with a straight face, tell Afghans that they should believe and die for liberal democracy? Lmao
Do what exactly? Afghanistan is a sovereign state not a US territory. The US and it’s allies could try and make suggestions all they want against corruption but they ultimately had no real power to stop the Afghans from acting like idiots. This was a common issue with the Afghan National Army. Soldiers from ISAF forces routinely and vocally complained about the ANA being corrupt, inept and utterly worthless but often found themselves powerless to do anything about it. “Self sufficient” was the key phrase thrown around again and again by Western leaders when referring to Afghanistan and its military. They had to learn to be self sufficient. The issue is how do you get a backwards people who by and in large can’t read or write to be “self sufficient” at running a modern state? You can’t.
@@rainbowsixODST Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021 was de facto a western puppet state. It was proped up entirely by western funding and troops. They could have solved the corruption if they wanted.
As long as Taliban can act like a responsible government, ie: NO terror attack on other country, NO safe haven for multinational terrorist groups, NO genocide towards its own citizens, I can see Taliban will be recognized by its neighbors and United Nations at least. They will slowly re-integrated into international community, and will be heading towards normalcy in the future. But that's a BIG IF.
9/11 had nothing to do with Taliban, nor with Osama bin laden. Taliban had asked the US to give proofs of Osama's involvement which they failed, as he had nothing to do with it. 9/11 was purely a CIA project using some compromised Local US Arab Muslims to blame it on them. Taliban were isolationist before and so are now. They dont want foreign powers to interfere in domestic affairs, e.g. Education syllabus, Rights groups, Sanctions etc.
The genocide you talk about was a Civil war in 1990s Taliban vs Northern alliance backed by US-Iran-India, things happen during wars. Thankfully, today there is no civil war and taliban rule has been established in all of afghanistan, unless some foreign power interferes again.
Sadly Taliban are getting worse again and becoming like it's old self now because they literally wanna kill all Woman's in Afghanistan
One of the Taliban's core tenets is that women are property with zero rights. They can never be "legitimate."
@@Al-AfghanBall
Why would they kill their women ? How are they going to reproduce ?
The Afghans were given their freedom. They had it for 20 years and gave it away for free at the first opportunity. I sympathize for their suffering, but the west owes them nothing. This is the PRC, Pakistan, et al's problem to fix now.
BMA
It was not freedom!
You provided them a corroupt violent regime!!
Which was hypocrite & sucking there blood like leech!!!
All they had to do was look at social media to see where American style liberal democracy would take them. They dodged a bullet.
@Andrei Darie too true 😂
America has sized 7 billion dollars in their banks which are causing problems in the country
Yeah, "freedom" at the barrel of a gun. Maybe the West should stop destroying Middle Eastern societies for its own gain.
Would love to know more about the so called zero units. You exercise EXTREME caution on remaining neutral on all subjects, but you freely call the zero units "death squads". Although i can't find anything that bad online as to label them "death squads". Looks like they had pretty much the same failures and war crimes as regular western special forces, yet you don't call western special forces "death squads". I am extremely curious on this.
What about south korea neighbour future?
Seems like Afghanistan should cease to exist, being partitioned by its neighbors: the majority Tajik area to Tajikistan, the majority Uzbek area to Uzbekistan, the majority Turkmen area to Turkmenistan, and the majority Pushtun remainder to Pakistan (where the rest of the Pushtuns are located). Presumably this simple and obvious solution would never work because a combination of natural resources and the Taliban.
Ask the Afghan Pashtun what they feel about joining Pakistan.
*This film is dedicated to the gallant people of Afghanistan*
Will this project help or doom Afghanistan and it’s neighbors - Qosh Tepa Canal being built by the Taliban in northern Afghanistan to divert water from the Amu Darya
Did the Taliban government really offer to give up Osama Bin Ladin to the US government? When was that relative to the beginning of American intervention in Afghanistan after 9/11? Did they also offer to suppress al-Qaeda in their country? If the US had a legitimate path towards arresting OBL and putting al-Qaeda in Afghanistan out of action then was there really any point to the subsequent US military intervention?
The meow in the intro is much appreciated
Pakistan reminds me of Cambodia during the Vietnam war
It's a deplorable state born solely out of hate and paranoia.

The current relationship Pakistan and Afghanistan is worsening day by day as Afgan taliban is openly supporting Tharike Taliban (Pakistani Taliban) and border issue , Current Afghanistan govt is more favouring India. Taliban's government and announced India-Russia-Afghanistan Strategic Railway Plan ,to create a 1,468 km-long railway track between Mazar-e-Sharif-Herat-Kandahar provinces to Delhi, then Moscow.

How will railway go to Delhi ?
The Taliban openly wants to take over Pakistan. Why are you surprised?
so according to your logic, if Modi's govt is Hindu nationalist. then is America's govt Christian nationalist?
I don't think sanction can help. Sanction makes civilians believe that economic failure and their hunger is the evil of US imperialism.
Afghanistan is practically a quagmire to any foreign invaders as no Empires or Superpower managed to conquer and establish a stable government. However it seems it's also unable to self govern, the Taliban government is also failing to provide security for the country as terror groups like ISIS K are stepping up their attacks. I can only hope that regular Afghan as well as all the biodiversity can stay safe.
Such a wonderful explanation for Taliban organization
None of the estimations show the Pashtuns as majority, their number is estimated from a third to 45%
Pashtun 65 million pakistan and afghanistan

If you mean like Vietnam 1954 to 1975 perhaps. But since Vietnam wasn't ruled by an medieval religious sect, but by a nationalist Communist party. Imo it's highly unlikely.
@Scott Krater what I mean, Afghanistan might form diplomatic relations with America. And maybe even an economic relationship? I definitely see your point. But, time will tell.

The taliban agreed to hand over Osama bin laden?
Huh, i guess you learn something new every day. Cam you please provide the source to that information?
I think he's referring to the 'offers' made in response to the Americans calling for an unconditional surrender- I think they made like 2 offers, neither were unconditional.
1. We will try him according to Sharia law, provide evidence.
2. We will send him to a 3rd country of our choosing.
Neither of which were good offers because this was happening post-9/11 at peak US unipolarity, Russia, China and Iran were supportive of the invasion.
You can google it... Tons of articles about it "US refuses hand over of Bin Laden"

The Western Powers never committed “indiscriminate bombing” of Afghan civilians. To say “indiscriminate bombing” is to say that we chose not to discriminate between combatants and non-combatants, and that is a completely falsehood. Were civilians unintentionally bombed? Yes. That’s an unfortunate 100% fact. Did Western forces choose to deliberately target civilians? No, and it’s a 100% lie to say that they did or that they committed war crimes when civilians were accidentally targeted. Civilian deaths are unfortunately a part of war. The death of civilians, while extremely unfortunate, is not in and of itself a war crime. For civilian deaths to be a war crime, it must be a deliberate targeting of known civilians, and that simply was not done in Afghanistan.
There are certain videos showing western soldiers shooting innocent people
pakistan failed to take Jalalabad in 1989 lol
The War on Terror was so fucking stupid. I can't believe we actually deluded ourselves into starting it.
There wouldn't be a war on terror without Obama Bin Laden. The guy who basically started it.
very amateur analysis, makes me regard your historical videos with less respect

The entire place is nothing but a nightmare.
Afghanistan is a great example of why diversity is not a strength
More the importance of unity and an national identity. Not diversity as even an empire such as China collapsed in itself despite its humongous nature.
It is in America, and has been for many empires and states across history (including the British and French empires) it all depends on how it's utilized - the American "immigrant over culture" that exists in addition to it's various minority cultures compliment each other, whereas in Afghanistan there is no unifying force
Afghanistan has been plagued by decades of war and conflict, much of it fuelled by external powers seeking to exert their influence in the region. To blame the country's problems on diversity is simplistic and ignorant.
By your logic, homogeneous Somalia should’ve been the most prosperous and stable country in Africa
