An ex-general broke it down. It's on video somewhere.

  1. Keep troops close to Pakistan's nuclear weapons, be ready to invade and seize them if necessary.

  2. Keep troops close to China's Belt & Road, be ready to invade and cut it if necessary.

  3. Keep the CIA close to China's Xinjiang, where they can recruit Uyghurs to overthrow the Chinese government.

Basically, to serve as a springboard for more military aggression. Plus there are trillions in minerals there, but they can't be removed because there's no transportation. China tried building and the Taliban burned them.
