You ever wonder if there’s a way everyone could get paired up in 1 of 2 teams (decadent West, BRICS+) and we could all find a way to…you know, get along?
Whoa John Lennon, that would require respect and sharing.
Sticking your economy in crazy seems like a bad idea China.
Probably a better idea to invade, spend a trillion dollars occupying it for 20 years and then leave, having accomplished nothing.
Worse than nothing. The Taliban gained more territory. The Northern Alliance is mostly gone.
They waited while Russia and the US tried to control Afghanistan and lost. I suppose we’ll see if china will fare better.
They’re not trying to invade. Just offering to trade, so the Taliban doesn’t have to be afraid about losing control.
In an Islamist government, making a nation, who is openly hostile to their Muslim population, a major trader partner may not play well.
Nah, theocracies don’t give a fuck about hypocrisy.
It’s worked in the Arabian peninsula, why wouldn’t it work in Afghanistan?
Soon to be The People’s Holsum Brutal Totalitarian Theocracy 😊
