    Looks like China is taking over

    Worried about militants sneaking into a restive Chinese region from war-torn Afghanistan, Beijing is in talks with Kabul over the construction of a military base, Afghan officials say, as it seeks to shore up its fragile neighbour.

    The army camp will be built in Afghanistan’s remote and mountainous Wakhan Corridor, where witnesses have reported seeing Chinese and Afghan troops on joint patrols.

    Amid Little Scrutiny, US Military Ramps Up In Afghanistan

    The U.S. is bolstering its military presence in Afghanistan, more than 16 years after the war started. Is anyone paying attention?

    Consider this: At a Senate hearing this past week on top U.S. security threats, the word “Afghanistan” was spoken exactly four times, each during introductory remarks.

    In the ensuing two hours of questions for intelligence agency witnesses, no senator asked about Afghanistan, suggesting little interest in a war with nearly 15,000 U.S. troops supporting combat against the Taliban.


    It’s not as if the war’s end is in sight.

    Just last month the bulk of an Army training brigade of about 800 soldiers arrived to improve the advising of Afghan forces.

    Since January, attack planes and other aircraft have been added to U.S. forces in Afghanistan.


    But it’s not clear that the war, which began in October 2001, is going as well as the U.S. had hoped seven months after President Donald Trump announced a new, more aggressive strategy.

    the administration has made major improvements in military tactics and plans for developing Afghan forces but has “done nothing to deal with civil and political stability.”

    The administration “not only faces a deteriorating security situation, it has no clear political, governance, or economic strategy to produce Afghan stability,” Cordesman said. In his view, the U.S. military has been assigned a “mission impossible” in Afghanistan.

    USA = LOSER,

    but MIC profiteers get SO MUCH WINNING in the high-margin, nobody's (ac)counting business of war

    While continue to lose in Afghanistan, Trash will LIE that he, looke-at-me-the-greatest, WINned in Afganistan and everybody should be sick of his winning.

    US uses drone strike on Al Queada in Southern Libya. First timer here... Admitted anyway.

    Looks like Russia and the US,which rule the air over Syria, are going to let Turkey have sway in Northern Syria. Not backing the PKK and Kurds.

    If Iran tries to mess with Israel from southern Syria, its clear a Israel will strike. So the split up of Syria continues. The unspoken borders are becoming clearer. Iran is established in the capital and other important cities. Southern Syria better not have Hezoballah acting out. And Nothern Syria will require dealing with Turkey. We will see what other various rebel groups will be left with.

    Posting this here as we will continue the mess in Afghanistan.

    Now you're just all over the place.

    That Taliban controls maybe 10% of the country and contests 10% more.

    Winning militarily.

    This threads helps us remember that WE WERE NOT WINNING THE WAR WHEN WE WERE THERE. WE WERE ACTUALLY SLOWLY AND SURELY LOSING. Little by little for 17 years.

    The myth that Biden all of a sudden decided to leave is just a myth. The entire US apparatus had to surrender. Because the war and the losing was unsubstainable. Same exact thing that happened to Soviets.

    We plainly lost the war militarily. Our military surrendered. Thats a fact.
