Not quite. US is leaving behind their fellow NATO buddies the Turkish Army at Kabul Airport after Erdogan agreed to Biden's request.

LOL that stands and falls with Pakistani support.
What India has to do with me?

Everything. You are an Indian bootlicker. Quad isn't saving you.
LOL this CIA Andy thinks them running with their tails between their legs is a masterstroke.

CIA Andy LOL I love it. That is what I am going to call him from now on. CIA Andy.

QUAD is real, China QUAD didn't exist in the first place

Your quad is BS. CRIP is the real deal. China, Russia, Iran and Pakistan have booted US/NATO out of the region. Tell papa America to stop begging for military bases in the neighbourhood if it is so almighty. Let your American daddy fight without supply routes and military bases. Let's see how powerful your daddy is CIA Andy.

As we speak, a heavily armed armada of UK Carrier Strike Group is steaming towards the SCS to relief Reagan CSG heading towards the Middle East, please tell me when China QUAD will do the same coordinated response like this. :lol:

Let's face some facts here about QUAD.

Australia is going to do nothing but get destroyed, the US will just use India as cannon fodder to whittle down the Chinese troop strength to the point where the US can literally just walk into Beijing. At that point China would probably use the nuke which will force America to use the nuke, the entire continent is engulfed in radiation, millions are dying from it all for the UN to come in and call for a ceasefire.

India will probably use their loss as a means to attack Pakistan in where we will just go to war and another war will erupt causing even more death and destruction.

The nuke again will probably be threatened by India in which we will retaliate. Nukes start going off and the rest is self explanatory.

QUAD ain't anyones benefits. What is, is striving for peace and not war. But hey. How is muh big murica supposed to win votes and deal propaganda?

whatever floats your boat men....

I've heard this many times before, from UK will not antagonize China because of Trade, Australia is not willing to join US alliance in the Pacific, Japan is pacifist bla bla bla....

none of them are true, on the contrary the QUAD are just getting more laser focused about China, have you seen the jump in joint exercise between the member state?? Their moves are getting more coordinated as the time passes. As we sepak a powerful UK led carrier group are steaming towards the South China Sea, where they will continue the US military presence in China's doorstep while Reagan CSG is out to the Middle East. When they arrive they will be joined by Australian as well as JMSDF escort.

Maybe you should ask @Dalit when will PLAN will do the same with it so called China QUAD???

And did you not read what I said? It will just boil down to the nuke, where everyone will die.

Or is reading something a troll cannot do? Considering it spends most of its time under a bridge.

there will be no nuke unless China is willing to die too.

QUAD is not just a military alliance, it's broader than that.

Nobody ever realized that by letting Taliban ruled over Afghanistan once more, The US not only lifted itself out of the burden of endless counterinsurgency, it also potentially brings a huge geopolitical impact to the two most important US rivals in the region namely Iran and PRC.

Since the US started it's hasty retrogade from Afghanistan 1st of May this year, the Taliban has thus far captured 32 districts while besieging many provinicial capital such as Lashkar Gah, while cutting the main roads from Kabul to Kandahar. Thus if it continue n this trajectory, it will be (in my best estimate) a year or two before the Taliban once again ruled over Kabul.


By having an puritanical Islamic militants ruling over Afghanistan once more, the relative safety provided by the US +NATO presence in the decade since 2001 would all be over and the geopolitical reality were once more shifting, most notably countries that will be most affected by this is the PRC, Pakistan and Iran.

The Taliban like most islamist militant group despised China, due to the latter mass incarcerations of muslims in Xinjiang, by having Kabul administration replaced by the Talibs, the PRC which lays close . This could in fact affect their BRI projects.

and Beijing realized this and isn't cool either with the prospect.

you could sense this from their mouthpiece Xinhua, who do some sort of influence operation to keep the US stay in AFghanistan.
http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2018-12/24/c_137696107.htm

so does global times

and by their statements from their MoFA,
"At present, the unilateral withdrawal of US and NATO troops at the critical stage of the peace and reconciliation process in Afghanistan has brought uncertainties to Afghanistan's domestic situation and regional security landscape. As neighbors,"


also from Hua Chunying:

It needs to be pointed out that the recent abrupt US announcement of complete withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan has led to a succession of explosive attacks throughout the country, worsening the security situation and threatening peace and stability as well as people’s life and safety. China calls on foreign troops in Afghanistan to take into full account the security of people in the country and the region, pull out in a responsible manner and avoid inflicting more turmoil and suffering on the Afghan people.


another plus to having a unstable Afghanistan, is that China for once more need's to ramp up it's land force and increase it's scpe of internal security in Xinjiang, this could increase the cost and burden as China is also facing the Quad alliance currently being propped up by the Biden admin.

China already spent more on internal defense than their external defense, especially since Xi Jinping tightens it's grip on power



On the contrary, now the US could harness all of it's power and resurces against China on a multi theater front, the most notable is the Pacific. The US compared to China, didn't have any significant ideological or military fore right his fence. The US could better use the money and resource originally for it'expense in Afghanistan into building and enhancing alliance in particular the QUAD and keeping ASEAN from ever getting very close to China.

another thing to consider is that once more the US Navy is given priority over the US Army, as the battlefields have now changed from the rough desert and mountains of Afghanistan to the open ocean of the Pacific. This will prioritize long range firepower like hypersonic and ballistic missile, something that China have an advantage over the US until very recently as well as ships and long range aviation.

another potential country that could be affected by the Taliban return to power is none other than Iran, not that Iran shares hundreds of kilometres of border with the Taliban, as history suggest , Taliban which is a Sunni militant group had a natural hatred of the Shiite country next door. Taliban doesn't have a friendly history with both Shiite inside and outside the country.


also the the likelihood of the Hazaras (an ethnic Shiite) living in Afghanistan getting persecuted by the Taliban could potentially forced Iran to create some sort of Afghan Hezbollah, possibly creating enmity between Iran and the Sunni Pashtun dominated Taliban. Iran could found itself entrenched in a two front conflict with Israel+GCC in the West and Taliban in the East.
@Dalit
See a therapist. Good one. Not the cheap strip mall kind.
