I know you didn’t mention Russia but who is going to control that area specifically?
Pakistan can’t do it nor can they really lend support of any meaningful value.
Karzai is sick of Barry but mostly he is bluster and this whole BS co-op with Pakistan is a smoke screen.
And yes, that is my WAG.

Well, from my understanding and what I was reading, yes... it is going to be Pakistan. I mean, it was Pakistan that set up the Taliban in the first place. The Taliban is an instrument of Pakistan and not Russia. I think they can very well be the major power broker in that area of the world.
Also, I think there will be the involvement of China, too, as China is working closely with Pakistan and against India. And with Afghanistan having a common border with China, China working closely with Pakistan -- yes, China will be involved in the mix, too.
So, if you're talking about help in the development of these natural resources, that will be something done in cooperation with China and Pakistan.
