    who.... next?
    my guess is China.

    They already have national propaganda movie Sky Hunter (2017) movie with them in presence of Afrighanistan flag looking country with same terrain.

    Their propaganda action movie always give me a good laugh. Should be more comedy than action.

    Just heard the state dept deputy poobah say that they have many reports the taliban are blocking all Afghans and Americans from getting into the airport. The admin is saying they aren't going to go leave the airport to bring them in. What does that leave? Whoever isn't already at the airport is doomed/stranded. That could be the greatest crisis in modern times.

    State dept lady said that 119 countries are prepared to denounce the Taliban in the strongest terms possible if they don't fully cooperate. Wow, talk about intense international pressure. Taliban must be quaking while they receive aid from Pakistan, Russia, and China.

    If China goes in there, expect their military bases to actually be mining operations. And they will profit from their occupation, not operate at a loss.

    Yeah, people aren't getting through. Dailymail says 18 C17 flights left last night carrying a total of 2000 passengers. Avg of 111 each. We know they can cram 600+ on there, so those planes were basically empty.

    Don't worry! Biden's UN ambassador issued a "strongly worded press statement"! That should fix 'em!

    Shades of Jimmy Carter ... hell, at least his "stern letter of protest" went directly to the Soviets. Nope, Biden's got to do it via press statement ...

    They may be using the actual troop seats they have. They ARE NOT comfortable with a rucksack on your lap!

    very possible.
    they share borderline with afrighanistan. Horrible terrain for both side for miles.

    Article says we have 10 billion dollars of Afghan assets. The average Afghan annual wage is a few hundred bucks.

    If China goes in there... they will succeed.

    Politicians control our wars with 3-6 year election cycles. China? Doesn't have to care.

    China has facial recognition, emotion tracking, and outright concentration camps, aka "re-education camps" for undesirable muslims inside their own country (Uyghurs).

    They don't have protestors, liberals, hippies, or anyone at all to answer to. They don't have rules of engagement like we do. They would fight a total fucking war, and then it's pretty hard to foment underground resistance from inside the walls of a Chinese concentration camp, who doesn't believe you are entitled to any rights, unalienable or not. It's also pretty hard to be motivated to resist when they haul your family off for it. They either would be reeducated, or they all will be executed. And it is IMPOSSIBLE to hide with the technology and net they deploy.

    We can laugh at their movie trailers - cause we do make much better in Hollywood.

    China though, knows how to control people with a fist of AR-500 steel. If they start pushing into neighboring countries then we may as well bend over and turn over the keys of the world to China, they will clean out places like Afganistan and have fresh territory for resources and future chinese settlement. Whoever used to be there will be a subchapter in our history books, not theirs....

    Afghanistan doesn't have an Air Force. I can guarantee you there are strategic bombers ready and loaded to be sent to Afghanistan. The US can bomb the Taliban into submission. That was the plan for Tehran if they did not release the hostages at the Embassy. They were going to flatten every building around the US Embassy. A B-52 can carry 70,000 lbs of ordnance.
    I'm sure if POTUS is advised by the JCS to do this, he will.
