Strategic genius former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said that a Taliban victory was expected in Afghanistan after the Americans left.
However, in his opinion this isn’t because the Afghan Army were understaffed and underequipped, but rather because the Afghan people had “no will to fight”.
The Americans couldn’t help Kabul’s forces, because they didn’t want to really fight and protect their country.
“Ten years ago I said that as soon as the Americans leave Afghanistan, the fall of the Afghan government and the complete victory of the Taliban will take at most a few months. My American friends assured me that no – they strengthened the Afghan army very well, and they are giving them a lot of equipment and weapons. I, in turn, replied that this would not help, because they did not have a spirit of resistance, and no technique would help with this.”
“Afghanistan is a lesson to all countries, to all of us: Americans can only help if you show the will to fight,” Saakashvili wrote.
He also predicted that this would not be the end for the Taliban, they would attempt to spread throughout Central Asia, and a wave of Islamist would be attacking Russia’s borders from the South.
According to Saakashvili, Washington decided to help Tbilisi during the conflict in South Ossetia in 2008 only thanks to “the heroic resistance of the Georgian army.”
Saakashvili also noted that the world is changing very quickly, and you need to be ready for this.
The situation in Afghanistan has become especially aggravated in recent weeks, with the Taliban advancing on major cities. On Sunday, the Taliban occupied the Afghan capital. President Ashraf Ghani resigned and left the country.
The official representative of the Taliban political office, Mohammad Naim, said that the 20-year war in Afghanistan was over.
According to the official version of events, and what Saakashvili boasts as “victory”, Georgia on the night of August 8, 2008 fired at South Ossetia from Grad multiple rocket launchers, its troops attacked the republic and destroyed part of its capital, Tskhinvali.
Russia, defending the inhabitants of South Ossetia, many of whom adopted Russian citizenship, sent troops into the republic and, after five days of hostilities, ousted the Georgian military from the region.
Moscow on August 26, 2008 recognized the sovereignty of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The Russian authorities have repeatedly stated that the recognition of the independence of the two former Georgian autonomies reflects the existing realities and is not subject to revision. Georgia still does not recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states and considers them to be its regions.
Saakashvili is an infamous “expert” in all things warfare and international relations, his claims are regularly either extremely obvious, or plain wrong.

Why do you publlish this rubbish. Who cares about Saakashvili
Obviously South Front cares about him,
He need to eat in his new country, so what.
When the village idiot Saakashvili opens his mouth one of three things is generally happening. Either, he is speaking as a US asset, a proxy mouthpiece. Alternatively, he is desperately seeking the attention of his US masters, fearful they have forgotten him, and he has no further significance to them. Or, lastly, both of above may be occurring at the same time. Take your pick!
Suckatie, opened his mouth to heroic chew a tie when heroic georgian army was annihilated within a week.
Afghans didn’t lose, they kicked out a super power and their puppet government. These fellas act like the Taliban are not Afghan. Stupid Saakashvili. Yeah he did so well against the Russian Military in 2008.
Sakashvili is a coke head.
I didn’t know Soreassvili has internet in the mental asylum…
SuckAssWillie, who give a flyin’ toad f*ck about what you think!!! Go back to munching on ties!!!
Why is this clown still talking?
Didn’t the Georgians boot him out of Georgia?
I dunno what tie-eater is talking about, Afghans have plenty of will to fight. It only took them 6 weeks to throw off the yoke of a vassal regime.
Remember this is the guy that was so nervous and anxious he was chewing on his tie while behind his desk.
Is he the father of the zio jewish clown ruling Ukraine? The same donkey who was only sucking his tie when Russian forces came into Georgia?
Uh, the Afghans actually won. The Taliban are Afghan. Just saying…
According to him silk Is better tasting than polyester.
Retarded Zionist!
Should I remind everyone here that you defended Israel; saying that it is no threat to Russia or Syria.
The same Saakashvili that was begging for a ceasefire, 3 hours after the Russians gave his forces a kindly escort back home?
Ahmad Shah Massoud’s son, Ahmad Massoud calls for the fight against the Taliban from the Panshir region of Afghanistan, I hope their futile resistance will be failed and destroyed. let the Taliban’s enemies fall to the ground all of them.
