Agreed with wiping out the terrorists but it has to be coupled with economic development otherwise it'll be the same s..t all over again. Russia couldn't do jack s..t and the same goes with the corrupt Americans which didn't do much when it comes to actual training of the Afghani forces because the military thought they were never going to leave. The logistics, support, from the Army to the Afghanistan Airforce were created to be super reliant upon the American know-how, money, and manpower/knowledge which is why you're seeing the shitty result on the battlefield. Like you said it'll be ISIS like environment all over again and who's f..ng fault is that?
Exactly. This is net positive for China. With the US finally getting out of it, so many possibilities are now opened for China to take advantage of.
All I can add is this, if the Taliban, with their hyper-fundamentalist world-view, think that they will offer support to Chinese-national Islamists, like they did to Osama Bin-Laidout, then the Chinese leadership should consider going into Afghanistan in ways that Russia and the US never could. The fundamentalists don’t seem use choose their adversaries, or their battles, rationally.
US is negotiating with Taliban because there is no one else to negotiate with. They have the strength and hold. US also negotiated with ISIS and Alquade whatever.
It shall indeed work out for the short term. But long term, I don't think so.
Oh, they did.
Maybe its time for PLAN to exercise together with the russians in the baltic sea?
I would say exercise together with Russians in the sea of Japan.
If they managed to actually try something this stupid, I think the very vision of australia getting invaded by China and basically getting owned so hard that the aborigines would be somewhat proud (I mean the Anglo saxons getting owned is something that is long over due) is something that could happen because the sheer stupidity and arrogance is simply going out of control at this point. None of this had to happen if australia could put two and two together not to antagonise their biggest trade partner). At this point, most of the world would actually support an invasion on australia if only to force australia to stop acting so childish and being such a useless lapdog and basically commits atrocities around the world without a care and I am positive that most of the word would love for australia to get some serious amount of humbling. Also anyone who managers to compete wipe out Rupert Murdoch and his lying lot will be doing the world a fundamental service in stamping out lies and corruption. Also, sadly enough, australia may actually require a real reality check in that not once as australia ever had a war on its door step, if such a thing finally happens, the media and any supporter of the USA would need to be made a real example of for all the world to see so that the world can finally get the full message that the age of the western hegemony is dead forever
