America at a historical juncture for further deterioration or greater power

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Perhaps the most pessimistic American politicians did not imagine that Biden would be subjected to the harshest attacks, even nine months after the 46th President of the United States came to power, and even warned of the danger of his impeachment. Biden and his supporters, who during and after the election campaign incessantly blamed Trump for humiliating the United States on the world stage, and in a thunderous process, put all their grief and sorrow on reversing the actions of the former White House resident, were able to cotton all his achievements. But suddenly both…

US strategic absence in the Middle East to continue crisis; Taliban with the taste of al-Qaeda

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Today, the United States is pursuing a strategic absence to continue to destabilize the region.

Since the Libyan war, Washington has openly refused to play Europe and its allies in decisions made in the White House, but after Trump came…

Europe and America are the two losers of a terrible catastrophe: Tragedy, misery and crime as a result of 20 years of the US and Europe presence in Afghanistan

BY: Tony Johnson PEJOURNAL - When the Taliban aspired to rule Afghanistan for the past 20 years, it was known as a terrorist group that collaborated with al-Qaeda. But today, due to US foreign policy confusion, there is a terrible government in Afghanistan. A regime that emerged with the flight of the United States and NATO from this country. What remains today in Afghanistan after 20 years of US and NATO military presence, as acknowledged by US and European military commanders and politicians, is in one sentence that our entry into Afghanistan was a tragedy, our presence is a tragedy,…

What Biden hides about Afghanistan

BY: Mohammad Ghaderi PEJOURNAL - US President Joe Biden has said in a speech that China, Pakistan, Russia and Iran are trying to figure out what to do with the Taliban now! Biden's attempt to confuse these countries, including Iran, with Afghanistan is thought-provoking in several ways: First; Despite being fully aware of the Taliban's relationship with Pakistan, Biden has tried to mislead public opinion by putting this country next to Iran, China and Russia in order to accuse the United States of accusing of coordinating with ISI, Pakistan and the Taliban, and also to show the other three countries…

Afghanistan’s collapse is a rude awakening for South Korea

BY: Jong Eun Lee* PEJOURNAL - After twenty years, the war in Afghanistan has ended with the Taliban’s victory. Multiple U.S. analysts are already writing commentaries on what has gone wrong with the U.S. military strategy in Afghanistan, but far fewer are assessing what the end of the war signifies for South Korea. Currently, there is an ongoing historical debate within South Korea on the origin of the Republic of Korea (ROK), with critics challenging its political legitimacy (allegation of pro-Japanese, authoritarian characteristics). However, it should be noted that during the Korean War, most of the South Korean populace and…

Desires of foreign actors in Afghanistan peace talks

PEJOURNAL - The lack of consensus among foreign actors on the Afghanistan peace talks, along with fundamental differences between the two sides, will pave the way for achieving a balance of actors' interests. Representatives of the Taliban and the Afghan government formally met for the first time since the signing of a US peace agreement with the Taliban in Qatar on September 13, 2010 to begin inter-Afghan peace talks. Although the Taliban and the Kabul government are parties to the talks, other countries in the region and beyond are both influencing the outcome of the talks and the outcome. This…

CENTCOM Commander is not convinced Russian bounty allegations

PEJOURNAL - US Central Command Commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie is not convinced that American intelligence agencies assessments support allegations that Russia offered bounties to Taliban in order to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan. McKenzie told The AP and ABC News on Tuesday that although the reports are worrisome, he did not find a "causative link" between the intelligence on the Russian bounties and the deaths of US troops in Afghanistan. He said the intelligence case "wasn't proved" to him. “The intelligence case wasn't proved to me. It wasn't proved enough that I'd take it to a court of law, and you…
