Moscow will still be majority Muslim by 2050 even if Putin rightly denies Afghanis any supposed, socially constructed 'right to asylum'.

Russia is the wastebasket into which all of the Central Asians are disposed simply because they are 'culturally Russian' or some such nonsense, while Western Europe and North America are the wastebaskets into which the Afghans are the latest people to be disposed.

Here's to hoping that the Taliban swiftly secure control of the borders and resist any Western pressure to allow emigration of peoples, since it seems flagrantly obvious that the West is using this as an opportunity to accelerate 'replacement migration'.

This past week or so it seems as though Western governments are simply saying: Let everyone who wants to leave get onto the planes we're sending to your airports, or else we'll invade. To this they appear to be meekly submitting, knowing full well that all of their gains could be rapidly lost if the West make a concerted effort to build support for a new war by permeating the airwaves with news about 'atrocities' and so forth. A new coalition could then be forged after the Western polities are ready to make an exception to their general aversion to war.

It's still madness to let these people go from their perspective, since it's obvious that at least some of these emigrants will become agitators like the Persian 'Shahis' in America.

As an aside, it's also interesting how the Democrats have gone from opposing the Afghani intervention because it's 'just a Republican war' to a significant number of them taking ownership of it, as if it's now 'our' war. You can see that a lot of them are actually defending the continuation of a war they once said was simply the result of 'Republican warmongering' and 'racists wanting excuses to bomb browns'. The sheer polarization between Democrat/Republican is so severe that many people will mindlessly support or oppose wars depending only on who is in power. If the Republicans want out, the Democrats are suddenly more inclined to want in. Remember the 'Trump is abandoning our Kurdish allies!' thing a few years ago, all because Trump was taking the anti-interventionist position and thus they had to take the interventionist position for little reason other than to oppose Trump? The same thing is happening in Afghanistan: It's Trump's withdrawal, everything he does is wrong, so maybe staying wasn't such a bad idea?
