Maybe a simplistic analysis here, but the way I see it maybe we should lure the CCP into Afghanistan. Let em scrap. Whoever loses pays through the nose, and I don't care which side that is. Whoever wins pays through the nose, and wins what?? Basically nothing.
These protracted skirmishes around the world have gotten very old. And costly. If there's a payoff, I sure don't see it.
My thoughts too. The CCP hates Muslims but would have a handful strong arming Afghanistan. Just like Great Britain, the USSR, and America before it. It’s tough to beat a country that hardly recognizes borders between countries and lives a life of pride and perpetual war going back centuries and owns next to nothing to bomb or take away. The CCP would literally have to physically occupy nearly every square inch of land.
If China were to invade Afghanistan the US would most likely wager a more discreet version of the proxy war it waged against Russia in Afghanistan. The CCP squandering trillions boughed down in Afghanistan while at the same time distracting Muslims throughout the region to focus terrorist attacks on China rather than the US would be win win.
