Which is the greater military power: #PRC with 60,000 troops massed on India’s border(for ~2 years) or #RF with 100,000 troops massed on Ukraine border(for ~ 2 months)?
Oil and natural gas reserves is are increasingly becoming a target by #terrorists/ #insurgencies because it accounts for 6.5% of the global GDP. A good example is #Alshabaab attacks in Northern #Mozambique on the @TotalEnergies $20B offshore LNG facility that is the largest 
Foreign investment project in #Africa. Cabo Delgado is also home to vast swaths of natural resource wealth.It also harbours the largest known graphite deposits & nearly half of the world's rubies lie under its soil.

That thus makes #CaboDelgado a hotspot for real and perceived grievances, that are often exploited by #terrorists & proxy war mongers to sow unrest to explore these resources in a manner that won't benefit the locals.

Sadly, @MichaelKugelman, you are wrong again. #Pakistan followed #US policy in the 80s - defending #Afghanistan and defeating #Communism. We got sanctions as a #ThankYou.
#Pakistan has the most to lose with an unstable #Afghanistan. We have always worked for #Afghan peace, as a partner with the #US, #China, & #Russia.
But you fail to point out #Afghanistan’s support of #terrorism and #insurgencies in #Pakistan through #PTM, #TTP & #Baluch insurgents like #BLA.
After all the tough talk, @realDonaldTrump reimburses #Pakistan for supporting #US troops in #Afghanistan. This is a Coalition Support Fund (#CSF) payment.

Those who have celebrated the #US's tough stand on #Pakistan, including #SecState #Tillerson's statement #terrorists could on day decide that #Kabul isn't as beneficial as #Islamabad, Should clearly understand a few things...
1) #Pakistan is not a cowardly cub unable to defend itself. We are not #Iraq, #Afghanistan or #Syria, where you destroyed or dismantled their armed forces, while sponsoring #Fake #Insurgencies in #Balochistan.
