"Unless there is a universal revolution in the sphere of man's consciousness, nothing will improve our human existence, and the catastrophe to which this world is heading (...) will be inescapable.." Vaclav Havel
Hello, a new day, for me full of hope, with a lot of desire to do so many things, and more and more. However, there are things that although I cannot control, they make me think and rethink. It seems that the world does not get out of a forceful social issue to enter into another one. The social problem that has been unleashed in Afghanistan as a result of the seizure of power by the extremist group called Taliban is currently in the world news.
Unfortunately, people are fleeing their homes, leaving the country any way they can, and when I say any way I mean literally. They are walking, men, women and children in arms, hundreds or thousands of miles in search of some better option than what they know they are going to have in their home country with the current rule of the Taliban groups.
It is unfortunate to know that this country will be set back hundreds of years, that crimes against women will become more and more frequent and the norm, and that this is happening in the middle of the XXI century and in the eyes of the majority.
I believe that all this happens because there are interests in it being this way, I am sure that there are many interested parties in the powers that be that even we do not know that this is the way it is. Unfortunately, and it has been happening throughout history, that when there is a global economic problem such as the crisis that has generated the pandemic, wars are activators of economies.
A few months ago I talked about how war conflicts can make an economy move, and evidently there is no war at the moment, but will there be, I have my strong assumption that there will be.
Some years ago, the U.S. military was very present in that country, there were wars, until they were able to somewhat attenuate everything that was happening at that time. The search for terrorists who had attacked the U.S. was what motivated them to go in and wipe out some of the terrorist pockets.
But, at present there is a big problem present, again the extremists have taken power, I wonder, What is going to happen now?, will there be again the presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan? will there be war? this, in the middle of a world economic crisis can make many companies active, such as oil and its derivatives, besides the oil prices could increase.
Not to mention the technology and how it can be used in these matters, and if we go to the arms industry, well, you know, it is going to move like never before. This is why I think that, unfortunately, it could be a tool to activate the world economy from that flank....
I hope I'm wrong, I really hope so, but the future will tell.
Thanks for reading my post.

Greetings friend @josevas217.
A topic that gives much to talk about, since many countries are interested in unleashing wars in order to generate economy, ie, to obtain wealth from war, either by invasion and taking the resources of that country, and those who see the bulls from the barrier as they say in my country, which are those who sell weapons and sell mercenaries for wars, without the need to be present in it, I agree with your thoughts and I join your final sentence, "hopefully we are wrong" although I doubt it.

No, he does not think we are wrong in this case, unfortunately. Creating mercenaries to generate chaos and then selling solutions, that's how it is....

Sadly in my opinion, every war conflict has an economic background, so much so that countries are known to have promoted and then financed some side in an armed conflict, either to be able to "sell" weapons or to position themselves as an influencing factor in the governments that are formed once the victorious side has been proclaimed.
Sometimes we think that the tragedies of the Arab world are alien to us, but on the contrary, as @ josevas217 says, this type of conflict not only reveals the little respect of some groups for human dignity, but also makes us understand that the evil is everywhere, disguised in many ways and the best we can do to prevent its spread is to develop ourselves as factors of social change that promote help and collaboration with respect to our fellow men.
My regards, brother!!!

For example, how is it possible for China to express its support for the Taliban, terrorists that they are, too? This is terrible.

hello @josevas217,
I believe that the withdrawal of US troops is due to the fact that the biden administration is looking to cut the budget and the solution is to withdraw the troops, it is sad that most people who condemn the US for being the policeman of the world forget that modern society has freedoms as a result of the model that the US implemented, on the other hand China has already recognized the new government of Afghanistan, from my point of view a new world war is very close and it seems that the UN does not care.

I think that more than cutting budgets they are looking for other things, in general, the US is a country that has proven to be very strategic, that does not do anything without knowing what effects it will cause, so we will probably see a resurgence as heroes.

It is very sad what is currently happening in Afghanistan, I can't even imagine what this group of people forced to leave their homes for fear of the Taliban's actions feel. But cases like this are the trigger for warlike responses from other countries and that, as you say, is the time of business, arms, oil and technology just to mention a few aspects whose market starts to move when there are armed conflicts between nations.

Very unfortunate, indeed. But, in spite of all the huuman losses that are now coming, there will be many who are going to benefit.

Greetings @ josevas217 Since the first world war until today, every conflict has been mainly for the economic factor, the arms powers use or are creating hidden alliances to seek conflicts for different interests :
1.- Oil in the countries where it exists.
2.- Weapons to be able to commercialize them.
3.- Governments.
All this with the sole purpose of being able to have the capacity of economic and financial power.
Thank you very much for sharing your publication

Yes, World War II proved that wars can generate many fortunes for small groups, that's the truth.

Greetings friend @josevas217, from my opinion I share with you your position, one of the ways to activate the economy again in an accelerated way is through war and the United States knows it, the fact of withdrawing troops from Aganiftan at this time where that people need foreign aid shows it. how unfortunate that this has to be so because many people will die for this matter.

War here and there, it might start out of nowhere and in an unexpected way just like in the middle east, since I'm living there I can say I have witnessed the fall of many governments and countries when there was no sign for that to happen at all. Anyone who thinks war can solve anything is so wrong despite it might change the ones in control, it will set back a whole country for many years while others develop. The effect of war on the economy isn't something that we can sleep on, the economy will fall so bad, and it will be very hard for such countries to make good use of their natural resources which is something that many countries rely on sadly.
Hopefully, the people who are suffering either in Afghanistan or any other part of the world would find peace one day soon.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi @lennyblogs
I can't tell you more than I totally agree with you. War creates backwardness in the affected country, regardless of what triggers it. I know for sure, in my country, Venezuela, I think we have returned to situations that were seen 50 or more years ago, everything has involuted.
And there has not been a war as such.
But, I share your last words, I also have the hope that all those people who now suffer these terrible things, will have a better future, someday.
Greetings, be well.

It's truly Unfortunate what is happening in Afghanistan and I cannot even fathom what the people of Afghanistan are feeling right now. It's so sad that the people will be so far away from normal civilization that getting back to normalcy will be pretty tough if they do get freedom from the Taliban at some time in the future.
That being said I read somewhere that War is always a Profitable Business and in my mind, I just can't fathom there is someone who is profiting from such atrocities.

In all these realities, there is always someone who benefits, unfortunately. I don't know how long those poor people will be going through all kinds of mistreatment and terror by such kind of terrorist government, it's crazy.

We are as individuals of little impact in the face of such atrocities, more so because of the distances involved, however, we have to be hopeful.

It's a business. They create weapons. And also create problems to create wars. Without wars USA can't survive. Most of the leading countries can't.
