as long as the Taliban & the ANA can work together, & do not create violence, while maintaining prevention of violence. Then we have no quams. IMO they should never have let any outside company come into Afghanistan for mining or oil, or any other extraction of natural resources. they should have been enabled to create their own company(s), with equipment etc. necessary to extract & store their own resources.... but nah, lets make sure they have burger king & mcdonalds first... thank you again mr Anslinger....


( it wasn't really anslinger....or the other counterparts. in their minds, the debt was to be paid back in full within 10 years. the post administrations fucked us all up, nixon etc. and on and on and on, 'till this very day. like Truman used to say,, most will keep passing the buck. 1 out of 10000000 will sacrifice themselves & take responsibility for this countries "actions" abroad. )

"Welcome friend"
Considering China knows any presence in Afghanistan will turn it into a meat grinder for China I'm a larger steady flow of bribe money is in order. Especially since prior bribes to prevent worker "oopsies" didn't work out so well for the Chinese.

If they decide to Uyghur the Taliban then I'm not going to shed a tear. C'mon Taliban give Uncle Pooh Bear a big hug!

china getting in there THAT FAST...just shows you WHY we give all these countries money and support...china wants "natural resources, bases, and ports" and willing to do whatever it takes to dominate and become top dog...all under the guise of their belt and road initiative

they are big into venezuela now and will pounce on anything in the western hemisphere if they get the chance...central america, south america, caribbean, cuba.


soon as we quit giving support/money....they come in to fill the void...taking what they want/need from the country

What’s America’s overall game plan? Seems so scattered. The Belt and Road and Digital Yuan are massively underplayed threats, the former would boost GDP greatly and the latter potentially controlling the whole financial market if implemented successfully. Seems like their only plan is to throw sanctions and gather allies to defend Taiwan.

Could rebuild Mexico and stop throwing money at other countries. A prosperous Mexico means a controlled border.

Talibanes is playing the long game, as China will continue its soft power push around the world, and in order to garner respect and recognition from a rising world power the Taliban is being very friendly, as they share a common “enemy” with western powers.

Can’t wait to see who backstabs who first, though.

controlled border kinda like what it looked like before they opened the flood gates

we don't rebuild mex...they do it with their trade and economy


countries that don't have elections are definitely playing the long game...they hated trump, but knew he would be gone in a fraction of their time in charge of things...he was disrupting their shit biggly though...how do we get him out???

say it?

Mexico is one country, the belt and road is like 140 countries. We need some serious restructuring if we're not even willing to do one neighbor.
