Military Camp

How long before the Taliban wishes the U.S. (or even the Russians) were still in Afghanistan?

    No, they'll fare the same...just being chinesium doesn't make them stand 10' tall with balls of steel...they'll die just like all those who came before...leave afg. alone and you'll be much better off...and much less dead.

    They're tough, tough, bastards who don't fear death or all the misery before death strikes...it's their old country and if you invade they'll fk you up...

    Afghans have been fighting over there for thousands of years against invaders. The Russians were not exactly weak sisters in the game of war, and brought a lot of firepower with them. Lot of good it did them.

    Killing cockroaches even with advanced chemical warfare results in cutting and running!

    Having spent three deployments in AFG, you’ve got to want the land more than they do if you want to win. Every square inch of it. Then, you’ve got to want to keep it more than they want it back.

    Not an easy thing to do.

    In fairness, if China "wants the land more than they do", then in taking it they will simultaneously solve the problem of anyone wanting it back.

    That is exactly what I mean. China does not care about the world response to its treatment of the Uyghurs, the folks in Hong Kong, or in Tiananmen square, so who would care more about the Taliban?

    Gunz are icky.
    China doesn’t give a rats ass about anyone.
    They’ll cut a deal with the Taliban. You give us unfettered access to the natural resources. We give you money and weapons. You Taliban can do whatever you want to the locals. F with our moving the resources We crush you.
    China wants minerals. Taliban wants money and freedom to terrorize.

    Soon there will be roads and rail to Iran.

    The wild card is how the radical muslims react.
    China ROE is gonna be WAY different than USA.

    That place east of Waco....
    India is inept, incompetent, and ludicrously incapable of doing anything.
    Oh they’ll bitch and threaten.
    China just rolls on doing China things.
    True....but they may be incompetent enough to start a war between two nuclear powers that don't know the meaning of the word "restraint"....

    India can’t get a truck convoy down a road.
    You think they can actually launch? LoL

    China won’t unless attacked first.
