Those guys were lucky to get in the plane. Others who held onto the outside had a mile fall through the roofs of houses on the ground. Like Slim Pickens riding the bomb. GARY

Saw those, too. They know the kind of fate that awaits them if they are caught.

Good interview on CNBC this morning with a Special Forces guy. China is moving in right behind us. Largest Lithium deposit in the world there. China will use their usual tactic of "loaning" them $, most used for corruption, and get them in a debt trap. He said, $ is the most important thing to them. And China will run the place behind the scenes without any troops by forgiving Afgan debt and paying the right people.

Gee just like here? Perhaps China encouraged China Joe to GTFO and they purchased some Hunter Art?

So, basically, China is doing what Uncle Sam did, save for the military occupation.
Got it.

Yes, they are skipping the incredibly stupid part, and won't try to convince the Afghanis that they need to teach their children gay sex or that mentally ill men in a dress are really women.

That's one of the reasons why the Afghani males have sex with each other instead.

(and yes that comes from a military friend eyewitness who saw it happening all the time themselves when they were there)
