Hungary to help stop a dangerous terrorist group?
Hungary might be the needed help to stop one of the world’s most dangerous terrorist organisations.
In April, US President Joe Biden announced the withdrawal of NATO troops from Afghanistan after 20 years of presence in the country. The American soldiers are set to leave before September, however, it seems like it might happen even earlier, on the course of this month.
NATO troops were aiding the Afghan government since 2001 in its fight against the radical Islamist Taliban. After this decision, it seems that the terrorist group has gained some new motivation. According to some sources, almost one-third of Afghanistan’s certain territories is under the rule of the Taliban. If they gain more power, that would result in big chaos once again, not only in the country.
Turkey, for instance, could suffer the consequences. Afghanistan’s destabilisation could endanger Turkey’s safety, as well. In order to avoid this and to show a positive gesture towards the United States,
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has recently expressed his willingness to start a new mission in the torn-apart country
to protect the country’s most important airport in the capital of Kabul.
The Hamid Karzai International Airport is not simply the most important connecting point of Afghanistan to the rest of the world but also a military base where the Afghan Air Forces station many aircraft of high importance.
Turkey’s reaction came as a surprise but
Hungary’s involvement in the mission might be even more interesting.
It is a logical decision that Pakistan aids Turkey since their good diplomatic relations with the Taliban can be an asset when negotiating a compromise with the jihadist group.
Hungary, on the other hand, might not be the most obvious decision. Nevertheless, the country that is currently developing a stronger army might just be the solution to maintaining a kind of security situation.
The country can have several reasons to involve itself in such a mission. First, as PM
Viktor Orbán is trying to build the country’s image of a trustworthy strategical partner among NATO members,
this decision can be regarded as a positive move inside the organisation.

Furthermore, the Hungarian government seeks to strengthen its military cooperation with Turkey. And last, but certainly not least, Hungary is situated right on the path of migrants leaving Middle Eastern countries full of armed conflicts, writes infostart.hu. If the situation in Afghanistan gets out of hand once again, Hungary can quickly find itself under enormous pressure of crowds fleeing their country.
The official reason for Hungary’s involvement is the fact that
Many Hungarian soldiers stationed in Afghanistan’s capital between 2010 and 2013, complying with their duty to maintain the safety of the premises.
“Hungarian soldiers know perfectly the weak areas of the airport’s safety system and the local area”, quotes portfolio.hu the words of the Turkish Defence Ministry.
However, for now, it is less than certain that this cooperation between Hungary and Turkey will be born.
The Biden Administration needs to give the green light to the mission
since a complete NATO withdrawal does not mean that other troops would stay in the country, even though initially the involvement of the States was the centre of the issue. Saying yes to Turkey, Pakistan, and Hungary can lead to an aggressive reaction from the Taliban, as it is not the deal they expected to have.
Nevertheless, after the exit of the United States, it would be an immense success to reach an agreement and a compromise with the Taliban, that would avoid utter chaos in Afghanistan. Especially if Hungary would have any involvement in the process.

The real terrorist group is the US Military and government.
You realize that by telling this to the world, you risk being asked dangerous questions. Such as, how would you know unless you’re one of them & have gone rogue? Because we all know that the us government engages in nefarious acts all the time. The difference being they don’t allow their actions to be broadcast from the roof. Those who do throw verbal darts are those who know nothing about it and seek attention or they have gone rogue & will be dealt with.
Which category are you in Mario?
30 days ago, the Americans thought that the ANA and Ghani will last for years.10 days ago the Americans thought that ANA will last for 90 days !
In 10 days,Taliban are in Kabul and Ghani and ANA have disappeared !
For 20 years,the Americans ACTUALLY THOUGHT that,the ANA and Young Afghans, will die to save American lives !
THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT,AND BELIEVED IT ! JUST LIKE THE STORIES OF JESUS ! IT IS A HALLUCINATION OR SELF INDUCED HYPNOSIS
FOR 20 YEARS !
AND THAT IS THE GENIUS ,OF ASHRAF GHANI !
THE WORD ASHRAF – RARE DIAMOND !
Now the entire Kabul gang ,is in Tajikistan and Pakistan – waiting for the Taliban, to make some blunder, and see the successes in the implementation of its shariat law in the 2 classes of Afghanistan !
There are 2 classes in Afghanistan – the Elite of Kabul,and then, the rest.So,the key test is the acceptability of the Shariat to the Afghan people.
If PRC can prop up DPRK – then there are TRILLIONS,to be made by PRC by propping up the Taliban.All that the Taliban has to do, is to maintain the same level of human rights and transparency, as DPRK – which is easy meat ! Or shall we say,the same level of human rights as PRC has in Xinjiang.For PRC,using DPRK as a prong forSCS,Nippon and South Korea – and using Taliban,as a lever,to shut the lid on Al Qaeda,is a Gift from Mencius and Confucious.
Ashraf Ghani has all the American secrets,and so,is heading to a cosy retirement.Now pnly did he bewitch the Americans,NATO,UN and the EU,but he also, siphoned off US and UN and NATO/EU aid,and he has all the INT,on US informers and spies,and their looted stash – and that,is a sign of ABSOLUTE GENIUS.
So long as Taliban “appears to strike Daesh and Al Qaeda – the USA will ignore all that Taliban does.
By making a pre-emptive strike on Kabul,Taliban would have accessed a treasure trove of US INT and lists of US SPIES – which they will use well
And if the Indian weasels do not want the Taliban and BADRI to enter Kashmir – they will have to pay off the Taliban,and build free of cost infra in Afghanistan and make a DRYPORT in Afghanistan – UNLIKE CHABAHAR in IRAN !
That makes it a WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN !
WIN for Taliban
WIN for Ashraf
WIN for USA
WIN for China
WIN for Pakistan
TALIBAN HAVE THE LATEST US MILITARY AND SURVEILLANCE TECH, IN ITS RAIDS (which they will barter with the PRC and other nations) AND HAVE SECURED ENOUGH AMMO,TO FIGHT FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS ! The ANA soldiers would have tipped off the Taliban about all the secret ammunition,fuel and treasure troves of the US and ANA.
ALL THE NEIGHBOURS OF AFGHANISTAN,AND ALSO, “MUSLIM NATIONS”, IN SOUTH ASIA AND SOUTH EAST ASIA AND GCC ,WILL HAVE TO START A DIALOGUE WITH TALIBAN,AS THE TALIBAN CAN “EXPORT ITS REVOLUTION” TO ANY PART OF THE WORLD !
If Taliban eradicates corruption, and gives an efficient administration,and APPEARS TO HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE TO ANTI-AMERICAN TERROR – IT WILL BE OFF TO A FLYING START !
And then – if it conducts elections – you will have a clean sweep ! dindooohindoo
THAT IS WHEN,THE WORLD WILL HAVE TO RECOGNISE THE TALIBAN !
