Why is the U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan?

In fact, there are historical reasons why the United States chose to station troops in Afghanistan, and this historical reason is mainly divided into three stages.

The first stage: the Cold War period.

At that time, the United States and the Soviet Union wanted to compete for the position of the global leader in the global hegemony, but the military strength and economic strength of both sides were military bases, and at this time, Afghanistan was an extremely important preemptive step in Afghanistan to garrison troops, and the United States also sent troops to Afghanistan in order to limit the development of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and since then the United States has opened the timetable for the Afghan garrison.

Stage 2: Incident 911.

911 is a very irreparable day for the United States because 911 is defined as a terrorist attack, and the terrorist attack is in Afghanistan, so in the case of the loss of more than 2,000 people, the United States sent troops to Afghanistan to fight terrorism, to calm the anger at home, this war is 20 years, these 20 years of time have consumed countless money, energy and personnel in the United States, making it difficult for the United States to support its strong economy, and finally had to announce the withdrawal of troops If it continues like this, The U.S. economic deficit will further increase, and the military attrition will increase, which will make the debt-ridden United States unable to make ends meet.

In the third stage, Afghanistan is rich in mineral resources, which are of extremely important economic value to the United States.

Although Afghanistan is now below the global poverty line and is one of the few extremely poor areas in the world, Afghanistan has very rich mineral resources and rare metal resources, and the world's major countries must use these mineral resources to develop their economies, so the United States stationed troops in Afghanistan also hope to obtain mining rights. This will be very good for the country's economy, but the frequent wars have put this plan on hold in the United States, because in a war environment, many business activities will be forced to stop, and mining can only be done in a peaceful environment.

The war of the United States in Afghanistan lasted for a total of 20 years, in 20 years let us see the decline of a country, but also let us see how a country in war spent these 20 years of Afghan people's life can be said to be poor, decades of war has not changed the territory of Afghanistan, so that the original nothing-owned Afghanistan has become even worse, and now Afghanistan is still an agricultural country, and it has not completed the transformation of industrialization.

Many countries in the world have long completed the transformation of industrialization, and the material living standards of the people have changed greatly, but the cause of the war has made the Afghan people still in an agrarian society, which is the impact of the war on the Afghan people.

The special geographical location, located in Central Asia, is mainly composed of plateaus and mountains, bordering six countries, and has an excellent strategic location.

In the north, it will be able to control Russia and gradually encroach on Russia's periphery.

Bordering China in the east and Pakistan in the southeast, it can limit China's influence in Central Asia and affect China's position in the middle of India and Pakistan in the southeast when protecting its three friends in India and Pakistan, so to speak, to a certain extent, restricting China's direct dispatch of troops to India in extraordinary times.

At the junction of the West and Iran, the United States covets other people's oil every day, shouts and kills all day long, and has nothing to do to find a disease, and with Afghanistan, the US Air Force can directly endanger the northwest half of the Iranian capital and directly deter Iran.

In order to encircle China and Russia and dominate the world!

Everything else is just an excuse. He's just an idle egg. Politics, energy, interests. It's all included...

Because the United States has been fighting the Taliban and searching for bin Laden.

Because the United States wants to provoke trouble.

The immediate cause was 911, the revenge of the United States, to kill bin Laden and the terrorist organization.

The fundamental reason is that the United States is capitalist, and war can make arms dealers rich, improve military strength, and facilitate the plundering of capital resources.

Other factors (Afghanistan's proliferation of dupins, affecting the internal security of the United States) (Afghanistan is currently a country with no strategic geography or resource significance - no important energy mines have been found, unlike the rest of the Middle East, and fighting him is simply revenge).

The official position is that the incident was committed by the Taliban terrorist organization, and then the Taliban should be eliminated in Afghanistan, but in fact, the United States wants to establish a military base in the Middle East in the name of counter-terrorism (that is, to support a puppet regime to establish a colony).

Is it a tie or a fight? Afghanistan** and the Taliban are in trouble, even the United States is blindfolded.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty

The reasons why the United States fought Afghanistan are as follows:

1. Afghanistan's opium production has always ranked first in the world. However, since the Taliban came to power, opium production in Afghanistan has fallen sharply, reaching a low point in 2001. That is, in October 2001, the United States launched a war against Afghanistan.

Following the United States occupation of Afghanistan, opium production in Afghanistan rose sharply in 2002 and peaked in 2004, accounting for more than 85 percent of the world's opium production.

2. The opium industry in Afghanistan is actually under the control of certain interest groups in the United States, and they have made huge profits in the opium industry. After the Taliban came to power, they began to ban the cultivation of opium, which led to a sharp decline in opium production, which seriously harmed the interests of certain groups in the United States. Therefore, they waged war as quickly as possible, lifted the rule of the Taliban and resumed opium production.

3. The United States sends troops more of its own interests, strategic interests, after the Cold War, it pursued victory in the name of spreading values to win more allies and resonance, and suppressed opponents with different values, and the values spread by Americans are exactly what they need for social progress, so Americans can easily resonate with the local people when they come with guns and tanks.

Afghanistan is actually a very important place, because it is in the center of Asia, Europe and Africa, so this area of Afghanistan is actually very valuable, but also has a certain strategic significance. Before the official opening of the sea lane, Afghanistan was an important part of the Eurasian continent, and business people needed to pass through Afghanistan. In modern society, there is a lot of controversy and conflict about oil because there is a lot of oil in Afghanistan.

First, let me begin with the question of the geographical location of Afghanistan.

The reason why Afghanistan will continue to be war-torn is that many scholars have also done relevant research, and there is no unified answer to this question. If we look at it geographically, Afghanistan is very prone to strife because of its important location and the fact that it is a multi-ethnic country. The social instability in Afghanistan has always been an important reason for the continuous war in Afghanistan.

Second, Afghanistan will also have some oil problems.

This oil issue is mainly about the control and sale of oil, because oil can generate a lot of wealth, and Afghanistan is a relatively poor region, and oil resources are very important to Afghanistan. Since oil can bring some benefits, it can also bring strife. In fact, many of the problems in Afghanistan today are due to the problem of oil, not only within Afghanistan, but also in Afghanistan and the outside world.

Thirdly, Afghanistan also has some legacy problems.

Because there are certain legacy problems in Afghanistan itself, these problems have not been resolved in recent decades, but have become more and more serious. It is a bit difficult to deal with these problems within Afghanistan itself, and at the same time, they are often disturbed by external conditions, and these legacy problems are very unresolved and then further solidified.

After 911, it was said that bin Laden organized it in Afghanistan, so he sent troops to Afghanistan to "fight terrorism".

The combined result of multiple causes.

First of all, to avenge 911.

Secondly, Afghanistan is the center of the Old World.

Thirdly, Afghanistan to the north can contain Russia.

Fourth, Afghanistan to the east can contain ZG

Fifth, Afghanistan to the south could contain Iran.

Because Afghanistan is located in the center of Asia, it can be strategically influenced by the east, west, north and south.

Do not ask why, because with human logic, it is impossible to explain such a war behavior of the United States. What kind of genius-level strategic design needs to travel thousands of miles to fight a twenty-year war? Can you scare the whole world by constantly putting your own blood with a knife to show others?

West Point Military Academy is also a famous school, but it doesn't pay attention to the speed of soldiers, so it should avoid a long delay, right? I can't explain it, it can only be attributed to being rich and capricious.

Because Afghanistan's geographical location is strategically important. To the north is Russia's backyard in Central Asia, while to the east it borders China. Now, most people believe that the Caspian Sea region is likely to have about 60% of the oil reserves in the Middle East, making it the world's second-largest oil producing region.

And China has only recently reached an agreement with Kazakhstan to build an oil pipeline from Atyrau to Ucheng. In addition, in recent years, the scope of cooperation of the "Shanghai Cooperation Organization" has gradually expanded, and the Central Asian region has become an important strategic meeting point between China and Russia. As the choke point of this convergence point, the intention of the United States to send troops to Afghanistan is quite obvious.

The withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan means the defeat of the US in Afghanistan.

Before launching the war in Afghanistan, the United States put forward a very arrogant slogan, called "either a friend of the United States or an enemy of the United States," and said that the United States could win two and a half wars in the world at the same time, and it was this arrogance that led the United States to launch the war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq when the war in Afghanistan was not over.

Moreover, the Libyan and Syrian wars were launched while both wars were still ongoing, thus proving that the United States can fight two and a half wars at the same time, but it turns out that the United States can fight three wars at the same time, but it is not necessarily winning.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the U.S. war in Afghanistan, which killed more than 2,200 U.S. troops and wounded more than 20,000 at a cost of more than $1 trillion. As many as 30,000 Afghan civilians were killed by the US military, more than 60,000 civilians were injured, more than 60,000 civilians were injured, and more than 10 million refugees were killed.

For the Afghan people, the war launched by the United States led NATO has caused them a huge disaster, and for the United States, this war that has lasted for 20 years has also caused a huge drain on the United States' national strength.

The 2001 war in Afghanistan was a war fought by the U.S.-led coalition against al-Qaeda and the Taliban on October 7, 2001, in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks and marked the beginning of the war on terror.

Coalition officials say the purpose of the war is to arrest bin Laden and other al-Qaeda members and punish the Taliban for supporting ****. On December 29, 2014, Obama officially declared the end of the war in Afghanistan.

The scale of the war. The 2001 war in Afghanistan was a war waged by the U.S.-led coalition against Al-Qaida and the Taliban in Afghanistan on October 7 and marked the beginning of the world's war on terror.

The main countries fighting Afghanistan are the United States and NATO countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, while Kyrgyzstan, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines have provided logistical support to the U.S. military and sent troops to Afghanistan after the war (the ROK troops withdrew from Afghanistan after the kidnapping of South Korean hostages in 2007).

The U.S. war in Afghanistan was waged for three purposes

First, as far as the political side is concerned, waging a war in the name of counter-terrorism and then stationing troops in Afghanistan to control the Central Asian region to achieve its own strategic goals can contain Russia and China at the same time, and once the war in Central Asia involves US interests, it can be used as a springboard.

Second, as far as the military aspect is concerned, the garrison in Central Asia will prevent terrorism and retaliate against the United States, strike at terrorist organizations that pose a threat to the United States, and protect its own interests in Central Asia (the United States already controls the Middle East, the Pacific Ocean, East Asia, and other regions).

Three: On the economic flip side, the presence of troops in Afghanistan can control local resources to meet the growing scarcity of U.S. resources, using it as a platform for resource thinning.

The United States killed three birds with one stone in Afghanistan :

1. Transform domestic contradictions.

On September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center in the United States suffered a "terrorist attack" (the "terrorist attack" of the American Xuancheng may have been directed and acted by itself), killing and injuring thousands of people.

In order to divert the people's attention from **, the United States began to look for scapegoats.

2. Enter Russia's traditional sphere of influence.

During the Cold War, Afghanistan was occupied by the former Soviet Union for 10 years.

Since World War II, British power has withdrawn from Central Asia, and the former Soviet Union has quickly filled the void.

After the end of the Cold War, Russia still has unrivaled influence in Central Asia (Afghanistan and the five Central Asian countries), and in order to expel Russia's power and further compress Russia's strategic living space, the United States decided to fight in Afghanistan and Afghanistan.

3. Complete the strategic encirclement of China.

After World War II, the United States established a strategic encirclement (first island chain) against the former Soviet Union and China along the lines of Alaska, the Kuril Islands, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

However, in the western part of China, the United States has not been able to complete its strategic encirclement of China.

The US military stationed in Afghanistan will not be able to fill this shortcoming.
