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.
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.
I understand the baloney narrative of Pakistan. It isn’t feasible.
They are barely hanging on to their “Nuclear” arsenal and keeping their ranks at bay, who are Taliban sympathizers.
They just don’t have the resources, the manpower, the will or, or, or... the money.
Russia has all that and is more like a Faustian Genie than Pakistan could ever hope to be.
No, sorry, Pakistan can only influence the border and just beyond but that’s it.
There is some China work going on but they are way behind the Russians and the Russians have something more valuable to offer.
Shared resources and money from allowing a pipeline to be built and secured. It’s kind of like a jobs program.
Pakistan has nothing.
BTW, we have been desperate to find alternative supplier countries as China has become to big for their own britches and Krapganistan can act as both a new supplier and a foil, to China.
