Russia gives Afghanistan its backing
The Russian Federation has made history by becoming the first nation to formally recognize the Taliban's authority in Afghanistan, with Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi describing Moscow's move as a "brave decision."We can only imagine what Russia under Putin and anybody else as repugnant as him have in store for the "motherland" after a caliphate takes over in the future, when their population becomes more Muslim to boot. Now, Ukraine isn't perfect and Volodymyr Zelenskyy has questionable positions of his own, but even Ukraine's never shown they're as bad as Russia's now proving to be under Putin.
The diplomatic milestone occurred during Thursday's meeting between Muttaqi and Russian Ambassador Dmitry Zhirnov in Kabul, where Zhirnov officially transmitted his government's recognition of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Muttaqi characterized the development as marking "a new phase of positive relations, mutual respect, and constructive engagement," emphasizing that this precedent would serve as an "example" for other nations to follow.
This is certainly also different from the 1970s-80s when Russia was ostensibly fighting against jihadists in countries like Afghanistan. Then again, a century ago under Josef Stalin, they did appease regions like Azerbaijan when it came to the area of Arsakh, all at Armenia's expense.
