However in Feb 9th, 2010, Secretary of Russia’s Security Council Nikolai Patrushev said that Russia had no plans to send its troops into Afghanistan.
“We are interested in a stable situation in Afghanistan and liquidation of existing threats by the international force,”
“Russia has no plans to send its troops into that country. But we are ready to participate in the training of military and police personnel,” he added.
But it seems that this plan has expired before completion of at least one year. Now Russia has changed its plan. As it is said that Russia plans to send troops to Afghanistan for the first time after its soldiers withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989.
Although the plan has not been finalized yet, but still the question arises that how Russia has soon forgotten the tragedy of 20 years back? And how again wants to put its soldiers in that horrible situation?
In 1989, when Gorbachev withdrew its troops from Afghanistan, More than 13,000 Soviet troops perished, a further 100,000 were injured, others were captured, several hundred are still missing.
Is Russia really ready to take another risk?
We see that the former soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in an interview with BBC (as an advice to present foreigner troops in Afghanistan) has said:
“Victory is impossible in Afghanistan. Obama is right to pull the troops out no matter how difficult it will be,”
“It will be more difficult for America to get out of this situation. But what’s the alternative? Another Vietnam? Sending in half a million troops? That wouldn’t work,” Gorbachev added.
If he really meant so, he had better give such advice to his own country first. Well, we can’t say, maybe he has warned or suggested his own country too, but new generation of Russia looks to be interested in taking another risk in Afghanistan to examine their chance. Or they have seen Afghanistan has changed to a land for chance maker these years.
Well, what is the hidden ambition behind this plan? It really seems mysterious. Nothing is impossible to do in a poor country like Afghanistan.
Afghans have had very bad memories from Russians’ presence and participating in bloody war in this country. I think not only Afghans but also the Russian soldiers won’t be able to forget that horrible war. Hence such bad experience of both sides won’t allow any further promotion of Russian strategies there even if it is counted positive. Possibly, it may worsen the relation between these two countries, which has been rebuilt and mended after the end of such dreadful war.
It’s confusable now, who is to listen to whose advice? And who is to take lesson from whose experience? US from Russia or Russia from US?
