It’s looking like the Chinese plan to move a “peacekeeping force” into Afghanistan when our troops leave. China would love to be in control of that very strategically located nation. Plus Afghanistan has extremely valuable mineral resources that no one’s been able to mine because of the constant fighting between factions.
China’s plan to take over Pakistan is simple and it would work for them where it didn’t work for Russia or us, because neither of us was really willing to do what’s really required for a success of this sort. That’s to start at one end of the country and sweep it clean of it’s current residents regardless of what faction they’re in or whether they’re even in one.
With 1.8 billion people, China can afford to do to the Afghans what Hitler did to the Jews and simply kill all of them. Wipe them out, and take over. While I hate to see China continue to make gains in their goal of world domination, and am disgusted and repelled by the slaughter of innocent people, it’s a fact that the only way to put an end to the permanently festering sore that is Afghanistan is to eradicate the people. They’re either harboring terrorists, hatching terrorist plots or exporting terrorism.
Of course, China at the same time supports terrorism by supporting Iran and Pakistan, and a takeover by them of Afghanistan would be a cure worse than the disease.
We live in a society where honor is a distant memory.
We live in a world where the Right Acts choosed are overthrowed by the less worst ones.
