With US Exiting Afghanistan, Russia and China May Move In

By James R. Webb | April 21, 2021

Following President Joe Biden’s announcement last week that US forces will withdraw from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021, multiple outlets are reporting that both China and Russia may increase their involvement in the country once the last US boot is off Afghan soil.

“The security forces of the Afghan government are not capable of ensuring Afghan security,” Sun Qi, an international relations specialist at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, told the South China Morning Post.

Additionally, Katharyn Stoner, deputy director of the Institute of International Studies at Stanford University, told Deutsche Welle that Moscow was concerned about instability on its southern border as well as the potential for Islamist terrorism to spread across Central Asia.

Russia?  The country that stayed to have their personnel picked off for only 10 years?  I don't know of any country that wants to go to Afghanistan to be lied to, shot at, bombed by a country with almost no assets. :shrug:

I'm sure China would like to get into Afghanistan to access all the mineral wealth waiting to be exploited.
