I personally think something's going on in Afghanistan this time. My guess is the US wants back in the Afghan game, and groundwork have been laid.
Very possible. Trump almost seems obsessed with rare earth, mining, oil etc.. he's frenzied about minerals etc, can't stop talking about it.
Even Iraq ko le ke... "take the oil" yaad hai na Trump sb ka ?
And he's been lamenting forever how the US withdrawal paved the way for the Chinese to swoop in. He views it as them essentially grabbing all that on the backs of dead Americans and billions of their tax
monies.
Colonial mindset waala banda hai Trump, says it out in the open.. China does it stealthily and sugar coats the sell.
It is what it is, bhai.
He wants Iranian and Libyan oil too..
Libyan light sweet more than anything else, keep your ear to the ground and stay frosty.. they going back to Libya soon.
Abhi buss rustle in the bush hai, aagey vekkho kya karde US imperialists.
Trump would be ok with Russia and China getting 1/3rd slice from all of these conflicts, if he can stamp his name on them as having been the one who "ended" them.
He'll happily kick that can down the road for another few decades if he can get instant gratification NOW.
Gulfies have long since surrendered, they'll get scraps.
Iran is his biggest prize but... but they can't make too big a move there for now.
@Lulldapull
I'll answer you here because they've thread banned me for god knows why:
Trump ka ulla is a chutiya person.......he's just flailing around in impotence.......He can't do jack shit except intimidate the dalit muzlim whulld, and force them into an extortion racket......he can't do this to Iran though.......
Iran is not dalit like the rest of em, so is not intimidated......
You understand paa G?
