    True. Remember the last time the Chinese tried to wipe out the 1st Marines?
    There’s been reports that China intends to come swooping into Afghanistan after we’re gone, that’s why I say the CCP.

    The difference is the CCP is amoral enough to partner with the Taliban if it helps grow their sphere of influence.

    No idea but Afghanistan is a great springboard to the Middle East if that’s the CCP’s intent.

    100% they want Afghan's minerals, plus the rise in opioid production will help to hurt the west even more. Their fentanyl could only do so much.

    Other than selling them weapons, why would anybody want to be there, tbh? And you don't need to be there to have a solid arms trade.

    Next up is cutting diplomatic relationships with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, tbh... the US really needs to get the away from that whole region and let them figure it own on their own.

    CCP isn't particularly fond of militant Muslims. They would only do it to with us.

    In Afghanistan US was defintely bad.

    Hundreds of thousands of dead Afghans are proof.and now that we are cutying and running we are leaving tens of thousands of Afghan that helped us to die

    CCPs fond of hoarding like a ing dragon, if they get in bed with the taliban, i would imagine the CIA would try to run counter ops by using the urghur muslim situation. Focus some of that idiocy east for once

    Not equivalent at all. USA was invading foreign land thousans of miles away from the homeland. China can easily control their own provinces.

    FTR I’m not convinced the CCP succeeds in Afghanistan or anything. The country has been a graveyard for every other imperialistic power that tries to control it, and any allegiance between the CCP and Taliban would be a fragile ticking time bomb.

    China is way closer to afghanistan. They will only have diplomatic evonomic relations thats all.

    China will never set military foot in Afghanistan

    China isn’t closer to Afghanistan than the USSR was and the USSR couldn’t tame it either.

    Ive gotta hand it to the Taliban. A group of 75k ill-equipped camel riding guerillas managed to fight off the USSR 40 years ago and just won a 20 year war of attrition with the US.

    the USSR military invaded them

    China will nwver do that. As I said they will try to have good diplomatic and economic relations. Thats it

    And being closer just makes that easier. For examppe their one belt one road project. They can make a killing convincing Taliban to allow them to create an entire.economic corridor in Afghanistan

    We should be getting Americans and Afghan allies out of the country at all costs even if it requires a troop surge.

    There is no more space for soldiers at the airport. So that option is impossible.

    We can only hope Taliban Allow us the.week or so that it will take to evacuate everyone. Prayingdog.gif
