Sick and tired of seeing threads about whose idea it was to pull out of Afghanistan first and who’s the better president. Afghanistan is sitting on the largest lithium deposits. China had been meeting with Taliban leaders weeks leading up to this mess. While America continues to push fear porn and make us panic about global warming, China setting up shop to be the largest provider of lithium. America probably armed afgans regardless of their terrorist backgrounds in the hopes they will fight back against China if they try to come in and take advantage of their assets.

Shhiii we are still fighting over Covid crap while China forgot about it like six months after their "outbreaks'. Disinformation funded by China. America is doomed.

Adults are talking in this thread. I know it’s hard for you but some people analyze a situation from a big picture prospective as opposed to reeeing like you’re doing. You are the same person you hate. Sleep on that

joe the rapist is 100% responsible for thos **** show. you cannot deflect from it. just wait till the taliban start beheading people. just fukin lol at dems chances in 2022. in short FUK YOU SHILL

Difference is that China will not spend trillions and countless lives of soldiers, and local citizens just to buy something they can get for peanuts.

What will happen is that they'll build a road to expand their belt and road stratagem, further isolating india.
Then, they'll offer to build a mine, which the Taliban will own the land of, and receive royalties.
Then, they'll debt trap them by building airports, bridges, roads, schools and mosques
The Taliban will default on the massive loans (extremely cheap by China standards), which China will extremely generously forgive in exchange for a few mines, worth a fraction of the debt. The local Taliban leaders will also have generous compensation packages on the boards of these companies. Wins all round.
The whole thing will earn China trillions, instead of costing trillions. Plus they can export Chinese men all over to take local brides, easing job and marriage shortages in China.

Every single strategic achievement complete for China. Gets their resources without the liability of an unstable populace. Isolate india. Expand their belt and road network. Instead of costing them trillions, its bringing in trillions of revenue, and actually subsidising the Chinese economy. A great moral victory too - to the Chinese, they're going to the barbarian lands to improve their lives, they built stuff for them, and forgave them when they couldn't pay, and no matter what you say about debt trap, its a trillion times better than what the west did to Africa and Afghanistan. Plus, they don't get any guilt, loss of political power, or morality issues with this. Its a royal flush for them.

Meanwhile, the west all condemns the Taliban, refuses to acknowledge their sovereignty, doesn't do business with them, and pushes them into China's welcoming arms. We all know what happens when you're a small time supplier, and your only buyer is massive and powerful. Brain the size of a pea.

When you think about it, Joe is responsible, but so is Trump, Obama and Bush.What is the common denominator here?

Also, China and Russia has agents influencing this, just like how US and the rest of the western world has agents influencing China, especially in HK. The difference is that if the biggest cultural superpower in the world can be influenced by non-English speaking countries, something must have gone extremely wrong.

The system.

Democracy IS a good system, fuk living in a totalarian state.

So you go on and ask yourself these simple 2 questions:

1) Is US a democracy or an oligarchy?
2) What is wrong with the system?

The 2-party state is causing a lot of issues. Something as simple as converting to preferential voting will kill off a lot of corruption and showmanship.

A lot of seemingly knowledgeable posts itt (I mean that sincerely I haven’t fact checked anything but bruhs seem to have a good understanding of the situation)

The only counter I have to this is that countries may start to push back against China when they realize how F’ed they are.

That will be their “unintended consequences”

Maybe they are expanding too fast?

Just spitballing… I have no idea

If you look at it from a non-western lens, the Chinese age is actually a god-sent age of peace and prosperity for them.

If you think about it, China hasn't invaded anyone other than Vietnam, colonised anywhere, enslaved anyone, started any wars or done anything other than increase trade routes and counter American ambition. The western powers have done exponentially worse.

The worse they've done is Vietnam, which extremely few people are aware about. They're starting off as a super power with an entirely clean slate and the moral high ground. The west has a massive amount of baggage. Western media loves to talk about debt trap, but African media is talking about how great China is for forgiving most of their debts (in exchange for a few mines) As far as they're concerned, they're trading a mine for a few schools, a few hospital, some roads, and trade. Quid quo peo, completely fair.

US can't go around destabilising countries anymore due to the need to think of China. Afghanistan is a great lesson in what happens when you destabilise too much, and your biggest rival swoops in and takes everything.

Afghanistan isn't an expansion either, just another place to build their essential road network. They don't need the land, don't need the people, heck, they don't even need the mines when it comes to that, its just a nice added cherry on top of the cake.

What people don't understand about China is that they don't want to rule the world. They just want the world to revolve around them, like it has for 3600 years.

China bad is just western propaganda. If you look deeper, most non western countries are seeing it as a good thing, and actually long for it,

Slavery was big for china back in the day. Ghengis Khan was enslaved by chinese slavers. They have a pretty booming sex slave trade buying/selling north korean women, too.

When it comes down to it, every country has it's flaws. More and more I ask 'What is truly the best place to live?' and the answer depends on the person asking the question.

Bro, Genghis Khan wasn't enslaved by anyone at all, where did you pull that from. That is pure fantasy.

The NK one is the same illegal chit you find anywhere in the world. Keyword - illegal.

Yea yea yea.

Absolutely no proof at all. Just pulling it out of your ass. Everything and anything that comes from a whitecels mouth that pertains to East Asia is pure cope.

Would you mind explaining? I only saw name calling, followed by an accusation of limited intelligence, but not an actual argument.

Do you not think this pull out was bad? Do you not have any problems with how it was handled? I ask these questions because, again, I didn't see an actual argument.

Hence why I believe America left the Taliban with our aircraft and weapons. Providing them the tools needed if China went from peaceful to aggressive as soon as we left
