For many years, U.S. authorities have been conducting brutal policies aimed at maintaining its global supremacy. With unabashed arrogance they have been stepping over dead bodies trying to subdue the regions rich in natural resources. To achieve the objectives they apply the most vile methods not excluding full-scale aggression under the very false pretexts.
Thus, in 2001 the Americans invaded Afghanistan ostensibly to combat terrorism. The infamous September 11 attacks served as a formal pretext for that.
The number of NATO troops in Afghanistan was brought up to 150,000 people, of which 100,000 are Americans. The number of the Taliban is about 25,000 people. For more than 10 years, with high-tech weaponry and powerful technique, the U.S. can not deal with terrorists. Why? That's because the U.S. military have been doing atrocities on Afghan soil, the world media consistently cover the facts of torture and humiliation of prisoners and even American soldiers' mockery over the corpses.
Massive bombing of settlements lead to huge losses mainly among civilians including women and children.
During NATO contingent stay in Afghanistan, the production of narcotic drugs has increased significantly in the region (40 times as much, from 180 up to 7000 tons), supplies of heroin to Russia, Europe and Central Asia have been organized.
There is information that, under the guise of the struggle for peace, the U.S. intelligence services produced at least 30 thousand Muslim fighters in the occupied territory.
In 2009, a scandal erupted around sexual orgies involving homosexual servicemen whose presence in the military structures of the United States is considered normal.
Here are just some facts that characterize the U.S. Army activities in Afghanistan. Operation costs have amounted to about 650 billion dollars. At the same time the Pentagon admits that the Taliban have almost completely regained their strength in recent years; they have not been destroyed because they did not get involved in major battles following the tactics of guerrilla warfare.
Tens of thousands of victims, ruined cities, spoiled environment, anger and suffering of local people - the Americans left that once again after their presence. Now they have decided to fully withdraw their troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. Pentagon lost and for once; now one can only guess what region will follow to be subjected to disastrous presence of NATO troops.
