Everything was understood days ago with the arrival of young Afghans aged between 30-35 in line from our borders. Thursday's arrival was evident from Wednesday. This process began with the decision of the United States to withdraw. After a while, we saw that the Taliban gained strength again, advanced rapidly, and then took over the entire government of the country, including Afghanistan's capital Kabul.
 
The influx of refugees from Afghanistan to our country is a situation that we have experienced before. It seems to be a part of the structure we know through the training-equipment project for the dissidents in Syria in the recent past.
 
In the images reflected on the screens, it was seen that thousands of people flocked to the airport with the Taliban's dominance in Kabul, and the citizens attacked as if they were hugging to get on the invader-rescuer American planes, just as a fly swarmed with molasses to escape from the country.
 
Again, we saw people leave Kabul with thousands of pedestrians and vehicles. There are rumors that the planes have landed in Istanbul, we do not know. Those young people who entered from the borders are collaborators who did subcontracting services to the neighboring countries during the US invasion of Afghanistan. These are the people who had to leave the country when the Taliban came.
 
Briefly, those who want to escape from Afghanistan; These are the guilty ones. Those who serve in the name of America. Those who want to abduct are the invaders who are about to use them in other plans in the future.
 
TWIN TOWERS AND THE NEW AXIS
 
The Taliban has been engraved in our minds with its actions that do not have positive traces in our recent political history. The movement was founded and supported by American and Pakistani intelligence. The Taliban emerged as a madrasah Islamism, a mixture of Hanafi-Salafi, affiliated with the Indo-Pakistani Diobend school. Afghanistan has a tough temperament with the effect of the long-lasting civil war culture and local conditions.
 
Initially forming the Northern Alliance, Prof. Dr. Pioneers of the Afghan jihad, such as Burhanettin Rabbani and Gulbettin Hekmatyar, were anti-Taliban. Later, after the Saudi-backed Salafist participations such as Abdullah Azam and Osama Bin Laden, a mixture of Taliban, al-Qaeda and ISIS emerged. US support in its establishment lasted until the September 11 attacks on the American Twin Towers. After that attack, the perpetrator of which has still not been found, the USA targeted the Taliban and declared it an enemy. He organized various operations and assassinations, especially Osama bin Laden, to avenge the attack.
 
Therefore, the Taliban appeared to be an organization that was initially supported by the United States and then opposed. In this case, the Taliban changed its line and started to take place in the axis of Russia, China and Iran. So to speak, this trio became a mentor.
 
STAFF CHANGE AND SUBCONTRACTOR SERVICE!
 
There were two things we learned with the Arab Spring. When these expire, the other is to change the staff and the other is to switch to the subcontractor system. Here, too, both policies seem to have been put into action. The US occupations with its own military caused heavy costs and loss of life, so it preferred to use subcontractors by changing the system.
 
In our region, PYD, ISIS and similar structures are preferred because they are cheaper and less costly. Here, too, he had to withdraw using a subcontractor. Time will tell if it will succeed.
 
TALIBAN MANAGEMENT IN THE NEW PERIOD
 
In this process, the Taliban took over Kabul and 22 provinces without a war, without firing a bullet, so to speak. The American puppet, the Afghan President, took delivery of the country from which the Taliban had fled, on a golden platter presented by the invading US administration. We do not know the content of the Biden-Erdogan meeting, which was reported to the press that it took place before this event. Immediately after this alleged meeting; There was the entry of Afghan refugees to Turkey, then the agreement that the Kabul Airport would be managed by Turkey, and finally the Taliban took over the administration of the country entirely. Although the US Ambassador made a statement that "the allegations that agreements and bargains were made on Afghan refugees and immigrants are baseless", the question marks have not been resolved.
 
Contrary to expectations, the Taliban seem to have learned some lessons from the past. For example, in these Muharram days, a new governor was appointed to the Caspian region, where the Shiite population is dense. While explosions and mass murders against Shiites were expected in the region, only the flag was banned and then released. They try to comfort the outside by giving moderate messages in relations with neighboring countries, as well as introverted ones such as "they should study, but it should be in accordance with Islam" about women's education, and "we want women to participate in the administration" about their work.
 
The declaration of general amnesty, including those collaborating with the occupiers, is also a message for this period. They obviously don't want to scare them this time. To summarize, their religious sect, education, problem situations, a cyclical situation. That's a different dimension of the equation. The type of the Taliban's miswak, the length of the beard and the shape of the dress are the size of the magazine. The real issue is their contribution to the management; how they will manage many other situations such as the economy, foreign policy and the future of the country. It is still unclear who the leaders are. We will see over time whether the Taliban will be able to rule the country and make its people happy. More importantly, it will make positive and negative contributions to the image of Muslims in the world. The production, consumption and transfer of drugs to the world in Afghanistan is a separate problem in itself.
 
UNARMED, DELIVERY TO ADDRESS CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENT
 
Although America seems to have lost Afghanistan today, it is a matter of curiosity what Turkey thinks. Because the President has not spoken yet. He does not express an opinion on an issue that Mr. Erdogan does not speak, in order not to fall into any political gaps. We do not understand what Turkey's statement "We are with the legitimate government, we are with the Afghan people" means. Which one is legitimate? Therefore, it is unclear what Turkey thinks about what happened in Afghanistan. America met with Turkey, a plan is being carried out. We'll see what the plan will be and of course will the home account fit the market? He will appear too. Is there really an agreement that these will be sent to Turkey and taken care of here or taken to Canada? We do not know these. Seeing that subcontracting for regime change in Iraq, Syria and Egypt does not bring benefits, we hope that the same mistake will not be made this time.
 
Maybe something similar happened in Afghanistan. Yes, the Taliban did some study. America handed Afghanistan over to the Taliban. Because he had betrayed President Ashraf Ghani, Ghani eventually had to flee the country with a planeload of money to the neighboring country of Tajikistan. America, which had been in control of Afghanistan for years, made an agreement with the Taliban and changed its staff, and the country was handed over deliberately.
 
As a result, it is understood that the Taliban has reached its present position as a result of the cooperation between Turkey and the United States. Maybe the account at home did not fit the market. America was going to hand over Kabul to Turkey, but it was completely lost. The second and third game plans will be understood in the coming days.
 
The USA, which founded and supported the Taliban, then the enemy, the USA, and now the USA, which surrendered Kabul. For what purpose?
