    They are weak-minded, lazy and hateful. It's not their fault. Orange Jesus is their hero deity.

    That's how I read their "military power".

    I am aware. Your use of "feigning" is incorrect in this regard.

    That's interesting... I wonder what kind of socks the Talban wear?

    I'm not sure how good Taliban military equipment is either... but they have a whole new cache of the latest state-of-the-art weapons... courtesy of the US government.

    Most of it is not really that great, even the helos will need mechs to keep the flying and they do not have that.

    Also, it was courtesy of the Afghan army, who got them courtesy of the US

    Plus, starving people don't make good soldiers.

    China will provide whatever else they need.

    Why would they do that? The last thing they want is the west coming back in.

    The latest news about Kim admitting that... was SunTzu's "feigning weakness" I previously referenced.

    You have to admit it was interesting timing.

    China is already prepared to recognize the Taliban government.

    China is in the process of becoming the new world empire... using a carrot instead of a stick.

    I wonder how the Taliban feel about treatment of the Uyghurs, and I wonder how the ChiComs really feel about a bunch of gun-toting jihadists.

    Maybe China plans to more Uyghurs to Afghanistan after the US and its allies welcome in half the Afghan population :D

    neither give a crap about the other, it is all about what they can get from each other.

    China, unlike us in the West, will not care if the Taliban kills their own people as long as they can come in and remove the natural resources there, and the Taliban will not care what China does as long as they have cash

    And yet those "5000 Taliban," whose drumbeat you've been beating steadily for over a week, have nothing to do with our current Afghan crisis. It's simply irrelevant, no matter how much you want to make it a thing.

    Why would brown people want to come to a racist country? With us being racists and supremacists, you’d think they’d be happier in Africa or someone near SE Asia.

    I don't think you make your case on that simply by repeating "5000 Taliban" dozens of times. So far you've not made an argument, simply floundered around trying to figure out a way to blame this fiasco on Trump.

    That would be an excellent simple response to anyone who complains about the USA being too White.

    When are you leaving ??

    not so much these days. China has very little use for NK other than as a buffer.

    China is SKs largest trading partner, China would not mess that up by helping NK
