Snip:
On Sunday, Trump warned that if Afghanistan doesn’t give the facility back, unspecified “BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN!!!” The US leader had earlier lamented Washington’s loss of the base, noting its proximity to China.
Later that day, Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesman of the Taliban-run Afghan government, noted that Kabul has made it clear to the US in all negotiations that the country’s “independence and territorial integrity are of the utmost importance.”
“It should be recalled that, under the Doha Agreement, the United States pledged that ‘it will not use or threaten force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Afghanistan, nor interfere in its internal affairs,’” he said, urging the US to honor its pledge.
“Rather than repeating past failed approaches, a policy of realism and rationality should be adopted,” Fitrat stressed.

born too late to invade afghanistan,
born too soon to retreat from afghanistan,
born just in time to invade afghanistan
actually though the CSTO won’t give the US necessary military access to attack afghanistan, and pakistan isn’t going to surrender what amounts to a puppet regime so what the US can actually do is limited to terror bombing
Isn’t Pakistan pretty consistently against the IEA? I follow a few afghans on instagram and they have pretty negative views on the Pakistani government, even if Pakistan is one of the few places that hasn’t attempted to put the country under siege.
i interpret recent events as mostly theatre for domestic audiences, the taliban leadership owes pakistan deeply and i don’t think they’ve meaningfully soured, or IEA would be facing a hell of a lot more pressure

Love how he can’t keep his trap shut
RT should’ve used a photograph of the deputy spokesperson of the Government of Afghanistan, instead of 4 random security personnel holding heavy weapons on a street corner.
Turns out post soviet Russia is super racist. Shocker.
They keep telling me ‘it’s the grave yard of empires’ but look at these guys they’ve just got these little guns- we have the big guns, and we think that we’re going to be using them a lot more- much sooner than anybody really thinks.So now Trumps plan is to ally with Pakistan to invade Afghanistan again, while putting a 50% tariff on India to befriend Pakistan? Did I get these convoluted geopolitical situations correct?
I am certain that many hardcore imperialist warmongers in Washington would love to do that. However, given the massive geopolitical changes that have occurred, especially over the past five years, I do not think that Pakistan (allied with China) would actually allow it. The Western imperialists are not as mighty as they once were.
yeah my 2cents on this: They all have guns and landmines now. Drones coming soon. Pretty much any nation nowadays is extremely hard to invade.
Bloodied and barely able to stand after the last bout, Empire furiously demands a rematch against Graveyard of Empires. Place your bets now folks! This will be one for the history books
So are they planning on dropping Ukkkraine and go back into Afghanistan?
I think he really wants to pass Ukraine off to Europe to handle so he can start invading other countries, like China, Iran, and now apparently Afghanistan.
Why would they even gave it back? The USA would have to invade again plus they didnt even promise to unsanction the Taliban if they gave the base back
Also pissing off China a country that has lately ignore sanctions to trade with countries is just a bad idea
i mean look at Iran if you want examples of states acting directly contrary to their best interests, and Afghanistan has inferior checks on its leadership. But it mostly has to do with Islamabad, not Kabul. Seems relatively unlikely Pakistan will cede it’s influence without substantial reward and pitting itself against the PRC after PRC military contracts have served them well seems insane
A part of me would love to see a reverse of the Soviet-Afghan war, where the US tries to take Afghanistan again and China covertly funds the Taliban.
the people deserve a break, let’s have a civil war between cops and the national guard
Operation recyclone
What could possibly go wrong?
The mid rank taliban guys have literally been openly talking about how they miss doing guerilla war
