"The day after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, Afghanistan’s
Taliban offered its congratulations to the American people for “not handing
leadership of their great country to a woman.”
Taliban leaders expressed optimism that Trump’s election would enable a new
chapter in the history of U.S-Taliban relations. They noted that it was Trump
who suggested a new international order when he inked the February 29, 2020,
Doha Agreement between the U.S. and the Taliban. That deal cut out the Afghan
government and committed the U.S. to leave Afghanistan by May 2021, closing
five military bases and ending economic sanctions on the Taliban. This paved
the way for the U.S. evacuation of the country in August 2021 and the return of
the Taliban to power.
The Taliban prohibits girls’ education past the sixth grade and recently banned
the sound of women’s voices outside their homes.
In Russia, Russian thinker Alexander Dugin explained the dramatic global impact
of Trump’s win. “We have won,” Dugin said. “The world will be never ever like
before. Globalists have lost their final combat.” Dugin has made his reputation
on his calls for an “anti-American revolution” and a new Russian empire built
on “the rejection of [alliances of democratic nations surrounding the
Atlantic], strategic control of the United States, and the rejection of the
supremacy of economic, liberal market values,” as well as reestablishing
traditional family structures with strict gender roles.
Maxim Trudolyubov of the Wilson Center, a nonpartisan foreign affairs think
tank, suggested Friday that Putin’s long-term goal of weakening the U.S. has
made him more interested in dividing Americans than in any one candidate."
