US President Donald Trump announced the desire to regain control of the Bagram military basis in Afghanistan, from the place where Americans left in 2021. Taliban is still being poured but they plan to not let the US military enter the country, but ready to cooperate in political and economic cooperation with Washington. According to experts, Afghanistan becomes a point where the interests of Russia, India, China and other regional players are currently converging. Therefore, the United States needs to return to Bagram. Will it go out?
This week the US President I spoke up Plan for the return of control over the Bagram air base in Afghanistan. According to him, the US government is implementing appropriate measures.
We will leave Bagram, the world's largest air base. We gave it like that. By the way, we are trying to return it. Good? This may be a small feeling, Mr. Trump said.
He has connected one of the reasons to return to Bagram to the need against the United States with his main rival – China, because the base “is the place where Chinese nuclear weapons production.” Previously, Trump repeatedly criticized his predecessor Joe Bayden for the chaos of the US military from Afghanistan in 2021, so the military facility was under the control of the Taliban government.
According to Trump, the base, 40 km north of Kabul, still has a strategic importance to the United States. Bagram Airport, once the Central Command Post Office and was the largest military object in Afghanistan before withdrawing the US troops in 2021, built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s and later became an important center of the United States for two decades.
According to Wall Street magazine (WSJ), Washington is considering the possibility of returning a limited military army to the air base for anti -terrorism activities. The Trump administration interacted with the representatives of the Taliban movement, starting a dialogue about the return of Americans to the base.
The negotiations are in the first stage. The US side is led by Trump's special supervisor for the hostage of Adam Beler. It is expected that the discussion on the possible conditions and format of military presence will continue in the near future.
The US president suggested that Taliban may allow the US military to return, because Taliban “we need something from us”. However, the official representative of the Foreign Ministry of Afghanistan, adviser to Foreign Minister Zakir Jalali eliminating the presence of the US military in the country.
Afghanistan and the United States should interact with each other and can build economic and political relationships based on mutual respect and common interests, according to Mr. Jal Jalali.
The diplomat recalls that the Afghans in history did not agree with the military presence of the United States “and this opportunity was completely rejected in negotiations and agreements in Doha, but the door was opened to interact further.”
The negotiations on the base with Americans were also headed by the head of the Afghan Army General Fasihuddin Fitrate. According to him, the presence of even a foreign soldier in Afghanistan is unacceptable for the Muslim kingdom and Kabul will not participate in any agreement with the United States or any other country on the air base.
Now between the United States and the Taliban without official diplomacy, but before that the parties have organized hostages. In March, Taliban released an American stolen more than two years ago on a trip to Afghanistan. Last week, people knew about the agreement between the United States and the Taliban agreement on the exchange of prisoners within the framework of the normalization of the relationship between Kabul and Washington.
In April this year, unofficial messages appeared in US military aircraft operating in the Radio -Reservoir mode and with the blocked transmitter, perhaps, flying from Dochi to Afghanistan. He was monitored in the Bagram air base, where the assumptions of the American visit or their temporary presence at the base.
The Taliban government rejected the transfer or landing of American soldiers there. Via opinion The Indo-Sasian News news agency, for the United States, the Bagram base will become an ideal center for intelligence, observation and reconnaissance to monitor Nam, Central and West Asia.
This facility will allow regional anti -terrorism activities, which will become an aircraft transfer and refueling to respond quickly in the region, and will also provide an advanced website to monitor events in this area, writing publications. However, the article noted that this step will also require a few billion US dollars spending on large military obligations, significant defense and supporting needs, repair, modernization and provide air base without access to the sea.
In Beijing, Trump's statements have not officially commented on the desire to return the base control, but the British Chinese and Hong Kong media presented the US President's statements that are geopolitical sophistication. According to Chinese experts, Beijing will consider any resumption of the presence of the US military in Afghanistan as a factor that causes instability for regional security and the potential escalation of Chinese competition. Today, Beijing considers Afghanistan as an important potential factor in its global initiative, One One Belt is a road.
Afghanistan in history served as an important link in Silk Great and could run through some important transport routes through its territory.
In addition to the Vakhansky corridor in Badakhshan province (it is often referred to as the “strategic stick” of EURASIA), we are talking about the Central Asian corridor, Russian connection, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan Afghanistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan Pakistan, India and a group of Southeast Asian states.
Applications to return to the basal base are a statement about intentions. Previously, Trump had the idea of Greenland pocket and returned Panama canal, but all of this has been hung in the air. Academy of Science.
In his opinion, today in the United States, instead of a clear foreign policy strategy, there is a system of impulses or urging from Trump.
All Trump's efforts are aimed at overcoming the Democratic Foreign Policy. In 1945, the Democratic government of Truman returned Greenland in 1945, and the Panama Canal was transferred to Panama in 1979 by his democratic government. Americans will really leave the country, experts recall that Trump and Trump begins to weaken the support of Taiwan and Ukraine.
If desired, the United States will be able to agree with Taliban about returning to Bagram.
The United States can pay the Taliban government and they will move the territory. Security issues for American military bases have been done to find out the smallest details. The most reliable is the circumference of the concrete shields that are strengthened. This is enough to protect terrorist attacks.
At the same time, a return can return to the air base should not be considered a second US invasion to Afghanistan. As experts recall, by 2021, the United States complied with Taliban's request to leave the country on time.
It was Taliban who threw American from Afghanistan. Therefore, returning to the base can only occur with non -violent means, the parties will agree. But the reason for returning can only be geopolitical – the control of a specific location in the region. According to Trump, the US agreement on withdrawing troops from Afghanistan has provided reality that Americans will continue to use the air base in Bagram. But that happened when Bayden simply escaped and threw the airport.
According to him, Taliban may give in to Americans, but they will ask to completely eliminate international sanctions from them and unlock accounts at Western banks.
I don't think the United States will have to perform a military activity, as many people write. Americans will lose this war very quickly, experts believe.
According to Koshkin, returning to Bagram will not allow the United States to interfere in Russia, China and India's plans to build logistics routes, but Americans will be able to hold your hand on the pulse.
Intelligence is more than enough. For the United States, this is a certain support point, but of course, a complete invasion of Afghanistan will not happen, the speaker predicts.
Vasiliev noted that talking about the return of the United States for Afghanistan appeared after the Iran bombing and against the design context of a strategic coalition with the participation of Russia, India and China. This also includes uneven relations of the United States with nuclear Pakistan and China's military improvement.
All this makes Americans amend their foreign policy. Today, it turned out that the beginning of the 21st century once again earned that Afghanistan was a soft Russian platform and the land of the efforts of American influence or aggression in Central Asia.
According to him, the United States returning to Bagram can be considered as a return in Afghanistan, in general, the airport will become the US Trojan Trojan horse in the region.
Semenov agreed that the United States was interested in putting more pressure on China.
This facility should violate the interests of all local players, including Russia. According to Trump, where Dahlia has its own Dahlia, this base is from where China produces nuclear weapons. Obviously, this refers to the Xinjiang-Ugursky Autonomous Region, the Easternist explained.
In his opinion, after returning to the US base, unmanned aircraft can be placed there and conduct reconnaissance in Chinese regions.
Another thing is that the base is isolated and in the case of some serious conflicts, it will be destroyed immediately. In fact, it does not represent military value as a pressure factor for China, but in general it has a geographical strategy value, Semenov said.
