We were fools to trust the Taliban & the Taliban are fools to trust the Chinese...

(Oh and all our weapons systems shipped off to China by the Taliban are being reverse engineered as we type...)

The irony is that the ChiComs will be the ones protecting the poppy fields.

It’s shameful that we didn’t torch them.

The Biden/Obama team is uniting the forces of evil.

Eventually, they will attack Israel and lose.

China is going to need some mules to deliver the next bio-weapon to the US.

I don’t think the Chinks are going to be too patient with the ragheads when five times a day they’re on their knees with asses in the air praying to Mecca.

Wonder what the Taliban think of China’s treatment of the Uighers?

Rare earth mineral mining. Afghanistan has one of the largest deposits in the world. We built the Hiway infrastructure for mining it. I.E., China will mine it for them and buy all that there is. They turn it into semiconductors.

China Seeks Taliban Promise to Wage War on Uighur Fighters in Afghanistan
July 28, 2021

“the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP), also called the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM)
... is predominantly comprised of Uighurs, a majority-Muslim ethnic group found across Central Asia, and especially in China.

“Speaking to the Taliban on Wednesday, Wang (Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi) “stressed that the ETIM is an international terrorist organization designated by the UN Security Council that poses a direct threat to China’s national security and territorial integrity.”

“Taliban spokesperson Mohammed Naeem said that the group “assured China that Afghan territory would not be used against the security of any country,” and “thanked China for its continued cooperation with the people of Afghanistan,”

The Chinese are probably perfectly OK with the Taliban as long as they aren’t in China.

ETIM One of the factions with the Taliban is East Turkmenistan Islamic Movement.

They have connections with Uyghurs in China and they will break off and start hitting into China. They will not listen to Taliban Central.

We should help them with covert aid and arms to destabilize China. We will be fighting with China within 20 years. It’s in America’s interest to assist them.

This has been in the works for a long time. Just needed Joebama to bail out and pave the way.

“The Afghanistan Belt And Road: China's Opportunity Or A US Exited Death Trap?”

https://www.silkroadbriefing.com/news/2021/07/06/the-afghanistan-belt-and-road-chinas-opportunity-or-a-us-exited-death-trap/

“The Afghanistan-China Belt & Road Initiative”

“Potential routes exist along the Wakhan Corridor and via Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, but it is Pakistani access to Kabul that looks the better option – as long as the Taliban can provide stability, develop Afghan society, and refrain from regional aggression.

International media has focused on Afghanistan these past few days and rightly so as the appalling situation left behind continues its descent into utter chaos. Little mentioned however has been the possibility of restructuring Afghanistan's supply and trade chains after twenty years of war. While the Russians will largely provide security in the region, China will provide the financing and help build the infrastructure and encourage industrialization and trade in return for peace and security. People tend not to fight when they are in the process of transforming their lives for the better, and Beijing understands this, although much of the social problems are the Taliban's responsibility to solve.

There are several options for China to instigate trade routes with Afghanistan. In this article I discuss the Wakhan Corridor, the finger of Afghanistan that reaches east to the Chinese border, existing trade routes via Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, and the potential to further develop the Karakorum Highway route through the Khunjerab Pass and ultimately via Peshawar to Kabul...”

China will run the mines, pipelines and the infrastructure while bribing the taliban leaders. The taliban will rape, rob and murder with no problem unless they do it to a chinese citizen or interfere with the mines and pipelines.

Of course.

We just gave away billions and billions worth of rare-earth minerals to be under China’s control - and the Taliban’s. A terrorist state under China’s protection - with large billions in payoff to boot with weapons sales, etc.

This massive disaster brought to us by Biden will continue to grow for decades to come.
