The Chinese are getting ready to very publicly fuck Biden square in the ass over Taiwan and Afghanistan and he won't do a damn thing about it. Charlie Wilson handed the USA Afghanistan on a silver platter back in the 1980's. If we had moved in we could have plundered all those rare earth elements. Now the Chinese are going to walk in and take them.

Let the Chinese spend their blood and treasure on a worthless Afghanistan. Hit the tar baby again and again.

They are going to pay the Taliban for lithium reserves. My understanding of the matter is that it is "China's Turn" to rape the new world, and the three city states that control the world are to allow them to prosper in this manner.

How are they planning on getting those lithium reserves out of the country? LOL.

So, you know that the Taliban have been helping and sheltering the Uighurs in Xinjiang, right? You don't? Well, why don't you excuse yourself from conversations when the adults are talking. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/east-turkestan-islamic-movement-etim

Surely you also know that the Taliban have been attacking the Chinese in Pakistan, right? You don't?

How about when the Chinese started a copper mine and got burned? https://chinadialogue.net/en/business/10577-project-to-exploit-afghanistan-s-giant-copper-deposit-languishes/

You know, you don't have to be an asshole. This is something you are choosing to do. Why? I guess, because you do not care for my respect.

After this point. You seem to ask me a Question. But that doesn't matter, since you've already told me to fuck off before doing so. So I'm going to do that now. I'm going to fuck off, and leave you 'adults'(singular) to talk to yourself, and remove you from my friends list. Since, you clearly do not wish for my respect, or for me to hear out your point of view.

    The Taliban already ripped off the Chinese good and hard years ago.

    The Chicoms aren't going to be exhausting themselves "nation-building" or 'establishing democratic institutions'. They came for the minerals, and they'll get them.

    Wrong-o! How are they going to get the minerals out of Afghanistan? A train line? The Chinese already tried building one years ago. The Taliban ripped them off good and hard.

      I understand quite well and have been following the Afghan war since 9/11. Before, actually - I remember being surprised by the assassination of the Lion of the Panjshir (it was the signal for 9/11 to go forward). The Taliban have already burned the Chinese several times. They support the East Turkestan secession movement. There is no way for China to get the minerals out of Afghanistan without a line of communication, which they do not have. The Chinese tried building one and the Afghans laughed while they ripped them off.
