1/ Have appreciation, emapthy and undersattnding for our VETERANS right now.
The ‘decision’ to “withdraw” from Afghanistan is causing heartwrenching pain suffering, frustration, anger—so many sacrificed SO MUCH (and many sacrificed ALL from limbs to life)…
i have a theory

2/ The US / Pentagon could never admit this overtly
failed state in Afghanistan under Taliban will foment violent extremists as it has
and yet now China = greater U.S. priority
History shows nation fighting two fronts often flails
Crazy 💭Our enemy’s enemy may be our “friend”

3/ CCP may recognize Taliban if Kabul fails
But will Taliban? They need
-Opium trade to China
-there are 1M muslims in concentration camps on Afghanistan border
What if US “decision” was not haphazard but calculated
“Enough—make this China’s problem on the Western front”

4/ I’d like to believe that US fight in Afghanistan was NOT for naught
It kept stabilized an unstable region that was always a powder keg
And at a time when China is on OFFENSE
this is a strategic move to threaten their Central Asia interests
and distract them on western front

5/ IF intentional
its a MUCH better strategy (Clausewitz x Sun Tzu)
at time when China facing global alliances focused on Taiwan in the EAST
and improbably may have to deploy troops to WEST
support for Taliban to liberate oppressed Uighurs
would be improbale insane plot twist
