Real reason for US Pullout from Afghanistan

Military Watch:

U.S. Pullout From Afghanistan Aims to Refocus Assets For Military Pressure on China


Following the announcement by President Joe Biden that the U.S. would be withdrawing its forces from Afghanistan by September 11th, the reasons for this sudden change after almost 20 years of American military involvement in the country have been widely speculated. With the Biden administration moving to accelerate the refocusing of U.S. attentions towards East Asia to counter China, and to a lesser extent North Korea, the withdrawal from Afghanistan and moves to improve ties with its neighbour Iran may well be intended to play a part in this. 

China’s economy overtook that of the United States in 2014 in size by measure of of PPP-adjusted GDP, and the country’s spending on military acquisitions surpassed that of the U.S. in 2020 - with a much greater share of American spending going to administrative costs, veterans benefits and maintenance for its hardware which is on average much older. China's far larger industrial base has also made its defence acquisitions generally much more cost effective. Eliminating the expense of continued deployments to Afghanistan will thus be a welcome development for Pentagon efforts focusing on East Asia.

An unnamed ‘senior Biden administration official’ quoted on the White House official website on April 15th noted regarding the Afghan withdrawal’s important to a broader U.S. strategy aimed primarily at China: “One of the reasons why the president and his team has taken the careful steps on Afghanistan is actually to free up the time and attention and resources from our senior leadership and our military to focus on what we believe are the fundamental challenges of the 21st century and they lie fundamentally in the Indo-Pacific.”

Ultimately with the U.S. economy still in decline following a crisis in 2020, and with China showing record growth rates in the first quarter of 2021 after being the only major economy to see growth in 2020, refocusing of resources from Afghanistan is alone hardly expected to be sufficient to reverse the current power trajectories that bode ill for continued U.S. and Western hegemony in East Asia.

The future of Afghanistan itself also remains highly uncertain, with the Taliban, the Islamic State terror group and the current Western backed Afghan government all expected to be major contenders for power. The fate of Afghan minorities such as the Shiite Hazara also remains uncertain, with these having been targeted for sectarian reasons by the Taliban in the past and expected to again face prospects of war if the Taliban or IS come to power.

    1. Most of the people r logical, reasonable & read well. They r not easily been conned.

      A 犬养mfer, who is bending on lies fabrication & propagation to cheat, is sounding its trumpet of fart, trying on its old trick of mislead & misinformation!

      Wakakakakaka…

      I strongly suggest u move back to that Formosa to defense her last stand of katak-isation.

      The recent series of omens, natural &/or man-made, r the prelude to her downfall.

      Mfer, keeps pay to yr words! Go & defense her. Together, both shall be demised.

  2. Just a related side track.

    Recently there r multitudes of conspiracies in the DarkWeb about military operations amongst US, Russia & China.

    US has been busy to reorganize & rebuilt lost trusts amongst his old & deranged allies, especially in Europe (NATO) & Asia (Japan, India).

    Meanwhile Russia is building up his military actions along the border with Ukraine, the most likely ignition point of a new pan European war.

    China has been stepping up her maritime military naval fleets & warplanes activities along her western Pacific fronts to confront the overembellish present of US naval fleets.

    The most interesting theory is Russian will move into disputed Crimean territories bordering Ukraine to start some local skirmishes within weeks.

    The moment NATO & US react military in Ukraine then China will initiate the military landings in Taiwan at the same instant to disorientate the western reactions in Ukraine!

    It's foreseen that Taiwan will be totally occupied by PLA within 3 days with minimum civilian casualties.

    It seems like a conspired military cooperation between Russia & China!

    Quick, sell all yr shares, pack yr house with foods & goods (especially toilet rolls)!

  4. A CCP attempt to forcibly absorb Taiwan within the next decade would be the biggest mistake the CCP makes.

    The invasion attempt would have to be bigger than the Normandy landings.
    D-Day succeeded in a large part because the Allies , by June 1944, had complete, comprehensive, Air and Sea supremacy over the English Channel and the area of France next to the landing beaches.

    On the 6th of June, a grand total of 3 Lufwaffe aircraft managed to break through to strafe the Normandy landing beaches. Two were shot down and the third managed to land back , damaged and never flew again.

    CCP does not have that over the Taiwan straits, and will not have that for at least the next 10 years.
    Taiwan has no capability to attack China, but it definitely has sufficient defensive missiles to turn the Taiwan Straits into a shooting gallery.

    The Killed in Action CCP would suffer in the invasion attempt would be horrendous, estimated by independent military analysts as probable 100,000+.

    That's Killed in Action mostly Only-Childs mind you.

    For a Confucian society, a family lost without any surviving descendants is the ultimate tragedy.

    I doubt even Emperor Ix could survive such a great disaster.
