Will the taliban take over Afghanistan again?

Never gunna happen.

American companies invest capital in Afghan companies that do the work in turn they get a cut of the profits.

Enter the ChiComs for Rare Earth mining. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

That was 2018. How much gold and copper did they extract.

And you think the Taliban will make it better?

Nope.

Yep…and brutality that Chinese will bring.

Actually, It was Trump who made the decision and led in getting US out of this endless war. Biden did help get US into it though.

They deserve their time in the sandbox.

Changes nothing I said.

We should have left the first year after we wiped out the people who helped train the 9/11 terrorists which our useless intel people missed as they trained here. And then said, don’t make us come back.

Jbiden didn’t announce our leaving, Trump did.

You gave credit to the sock puppet not Trump.

I mean U.S didn’t have a choice, Afghan was going to strip immunity.

unless we dont really care about what happens in this region, nukes should not be off the table

what are you going to nuke, the mountains?

one option, perhaps
