Fascinating perspective, but what can the "world" do? Who is the world these days? This is what happens in a transactional world, the autocracies and superpowers will take what they can and no one is left to say "enough". Once the US abdicated its role as leader of the free world and moved to a "might makes right" stance where alliances were disposable and principles easily abandoned, all the checks and balances are gone. Russia and China will continue to whittle away at Western liberal democracy and encourage conflict everywhere while they achieve their strategic goals. And Trump is fine with this, as he reshapes America into his own personal Fatherland.
Sounds like the United States made a "HUGE" mistake in pulling out of Afghanistan. Did the U.S. not know about the lithium and rare earth minerals that Afghanistan possesses??
This situation presently occurring in Afghanistan, Iran, China, and Pakistan should be a worldwide headline, bad and dangerous news all around!
Absolutely -- that's why we were very glad to run this article by the general. I wish there could be more attention paid, since this is a local tragedy that is also on the cusp of being a global emergency.

Are you aware of the U.S. knowing about the lithium and rare earth minerals in Afghanistan?
