A rather strange mis-adventure this Afghanistan-thing was! What was it really about?
ReplyDeleteOil/money and so on? Meh, I dont know. Iraq was more of the oil-candystore and the americans left there more quickly than in Afghanistan.
Something to do with central Asia, Russia, China and so on? Probably not really.
I would say something to do with Islam was probably the primary reason to be there. The main global powers are doing some mega-large "ordo ab chao" operation with Islam. The Iranian theocracy, Erdoganist Turkey, the Talibans and the Islamic state-franchise are all parts of this operation to my mind. So it is several decades old already.
What it is exactly then? I dont know really. Other than Islam is a very huge, very old rusty system, but with a still active militancy, that can be used as a rather destructive force on a global scale. So if you need a giant juggernaut for whatever purpose in your plans/policies, Islam is the thing to swing around.
China's Achilles Heel is its Uighur population. Holding Afghanistan greatly improves access to this 'resource,' but Pakistan got in the way.
