Graveyard of Empires - Afghanistan a Failed Nation Experiment? | ENDEVR Documentary

[@ENDEVRDocs]

'The Watch Or The Time' explores America and its allies’ ill-fated offensive in Afghanistan told by the foreigners and Afghans who lived it. The film tracks the arc of America’s longest war in modern history with these personal experiences, looking at the pitfalls of military intervention, humanitarian aid and the culture clash through the legacy of the West’s efforts in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan, like many other nations that have faced foreign intervention, is far from a “failed nation.” It has a rich history, vibrant culture, and resilient people who have endured generations of adversity and foreign involvement. However, the narrative of failure has often been driven by external forces. For decades, foreign powers, including NATO, the U.S., and their allies, have intervened under the pretense of democracy, security, and anti-terrorism, only to extract resources and secure geopolitical influence at the cost of Afghan sovereignty. It’s important to recognize that while national authorities may sometimes make detrimental choices, this is often under the shadow of intense foreign pressure and influence, making it challenging to maintain an independent course. Furthermore, the blame shouldn’t rest solely on the people but also on political structures that may enable corruption or coercion. Despite this, Afghans remain resilient, striving for self-determination and progress, even amid ongoing challenges. In truth, Afghanistan’s current struggles reflect the consequences of foreign meddling and the imposition of outside interests, rather than an inherent failure of the nation or its people. This perspective emphasizes respect for Afghanistan’s people and culture while highlighting the broader context of external influence and exploitation.

Soviets did not invade Afghanistan, they were invited by Democratic Afghan government to tackle CIA trained Mujaihdeen.

[@MarcantonioStanga]

False. Operation Cyclone began in 1979. The Mujahideen insurgency began almost 5 years earlier. Burhanuddin Rabbani had founded the first Jamiat-e Islami in the 60s. Ahmad Shah Massoud had already founded the new Jamiat-e Islami in 1972, a year before the PDPA took over. Hikmatyaar had founded Hezb-e Islami in 1976. It wasn't until the April Revolution that the Soviets got directly involved, and not for another year before the CIA began training the insurgents. Also, the "Democratic Afghan government" never won an election, and ruled under executive decree for the first four years after the takeover. Nothing you said was true.

[@omarmiz]

😅

[@meatiest1989]

@@MarcantonioStanga The general information of the formation of the Mujahideen groups and Jamiat-e Islami (trained by the Pakistani ISI) you provided was correct, but it does not entirely debunk his statement. The Soviets did not directly have a hand in the Saur Revolution. It was all Afghan military action, with the 7th Infantry Division surrendering/defecting and the Afghan Republican Guard Brigade (stationed at the Arg) being the only force to fight against the coup participants. The 11th Infantry Division resisted during the later hours of the coup, but were ultimately crushed by 11:30pm. Nabi writes in his book “Army and Politics” that majority of the Afghan Armed Forces’ units were sitting on the sidelines and waiting to see what happens. The KGB were only informed a few hours before it happened by Mohammed Rafi and Aslam Watanjar, which the KGB accidentally blamed on The Iranian SAVAK. This has been denied now, and has been debunked by many figures such as General Nabi Azimi, General Shahnawaz Tanai (who both took part in the coup), Lt. Colonel Hakim Rasooli (who was present at the coup and also my grandpa). Mark Urban additionally writes the same in his book “War in Afghanistan”. Political scientist William Maley has noted that while the Soviets were not directly involved, rising tensions with Daoud may have prompted them to refrain from taking steps to prevent an Afghan communist coup. State Department analysts told U.S. President Jimmy Carter that direct Soviet involvement in the coup was unlikely: "Although they had probably become somewhat disillusioned with President Daoud, we do not think they would have tried to take over this important non-aligned country." The Soviets additionally did not want to invade Afghanistan, initially, according to the early pages of Mark Urban’s “War in Afghanistan”. Before the intervention, the Afghan Gang of Four was formed so they could assassinate Hafizullah Amin and there would be no need for an intervention. This failed and the Soviets had to eventually begin Operation Storm-333 and subsequent Baikal-79 where they took part in a battle with the Afghan 26th Airborne Regiment.

The reason why the US and UN lost the war in Afghanistan is because the translators of the war who the US and UN thought were going to help them communicate with the Pashtun tribe and resolve the situation in Afghanistan were actually people who didn’t even know the Pashtun tribe language first of all they were Hazaras Tajiks Uzbeks Turkmens and people of the Panjir Valley northern alliance force lead by Ahmad Shaw Massoud who was assasinated by the Taliban. All the translators of the war were Dari Farsi speakers they all didn’t know the Pashtun language just tricked the US and UN by lying to them about knowing how to translate the Pashtun language this war was full of illegal misinterpretation and all translators that signed up for the interpretation program for the war should be investigated indicted taken to trial prosecuted and sentenced into a federal prison for a long long time

[@ENDEVRDocs]

That’s an interesting perspective

[@sairahmadkhairzada2302]

Those translators and their families should also be investigated for tax fraud, welfare fraud, and medicare fraud because if they think that misinterpretating a war is ok also they did it because of the money and they think they can get away with it and do other illegal crimes and think they can get away with stealing money from the US and Europe money that should go to those who actually deserve it not to people who work under the table and own businesses and apply for welfare food stamps and medicare those people should be investigated and locked up

Afghanistan, like many other nations that have faced foreign intervention, is far from a “failed nation.” It has a rich history, vibrant culture, and resilient people who have endured generations of adversity and foreign involvement. However, the narrative of failure has often been driven by external forces. For decades, foreign powers, including NATO, the U.S., and their allies, have intervened under the pretense of democracy, security, and anti-terrorism, only to extract resources and secure geopolitical influence at the cost of Afghan sovereignty. It’s important to recognize that while national authorities may sometimes make detrimental choices, this is often under the shadow of intense foreign pressure and influence, making it challenging to maintain an independent course. Furthermore, the blame shouldn’t rest solely on the people but also on political structures that may enable corruption or coercion. Despite this, Afghans remain resilient, striving for self-determination and progress, even amid ongoing challenges. In truth, Afghanistan’s current struggles reflect the consequences of foreign meddling and the imposition of outside interests, rather than an inherent failure of the nation or its people. This perspective emphasizes respect for Afghanistan’s people and culture while highlighting the broader context of external influence and exploitation.
