We don't need to be there.
Oppressing and committing genocide against the muslims in Afghanistan will be a far different experience for China than that of the chinese muslims in China.....they shoot back in Afghanistan...
Because of its strategic location as the short cut from the Asia to Europe, the Middle East, and Russia, Afghanistan has been invaded by every major power in Europe and Asia going back to Alexander the Great. The Afghan people have never been conquered by any invading nation.
I don’t know why today’s world leaders have learned NOTHING over the past 2500 years.
They have learned. Watch now as China gains the strategic victoy in Afghanistan through co-operation withe the Taliban, but without bombs from above.
And then watch as the Taliban become that countries legitimate government by being accepted by Afghanistan's long suffering people.
In fact, the entire world is being changed from being subjected to US aggression, to China's peaceful approach to free and fair trade relations.
Should we all not rejoice over the end of US aggression, due to other super powers asserting their influence?
Or, how will America be able to get back in the fight to hold at least some influence in Afghanistan? It reminds one of how America has just lost Cuba too!
