America, the new paper Tiger ?

You know, the Taliban had a big win in this fiasco, but I think China may have won more biggly in the long run...

China (from my old sources) is a HUGE Winner and Putin is nudging his why in too.

Indeed, huge winners to both the east AND the west. The CCP is cozying up to the Taliban to the west, with a potential boon in being allowed to mine out the rare metals in Afghanistan. There are talks of building a big road through the Wakhan Corridor directly from China to the heart of Afghanistan for purposes of "trade". Let's not notice that a trade route also factors in to military equations as an invasion route...

And, to the east, the propaganda coup for the CCP is staggering. They can get a LOT of mileage out of the current weakness of the America government, both in matters of propaganda and in military matters as the overseas perception of US strength collapses under BidenHarris' watch. China has a huge tool to use to their own advantage there. "See how the US flees from a fight and takes it's orders from desert goat herders? How can you still expect them to come to your aid when we crush you? Just give up peacefully... it's the only way out for you..."

And Australia? My gawd, Australia! Their government has swallowed the CCP covid-bait hook line and sinker, and appears to be caving to the CCP while we watch with draconian measures that would make Josef Mengele proud! Australia's only hope at this point is for it's people to rise up and replace the government with one that has some balls (and that is the only hope for the US as well). An Australian uprising, however, will be hampered by their disarmament of their population many years ago... and the CCP has had their eye on Australia ever since the Japanese stopped eyeballing Austrailia in the aftermath of WWII.
