Incorrect. The US will withdraw/ this is not conjecture but stated policy.

You have come up with fun conspiracy theories. Peace between Pakistan and India is not Afghanistan dependent but rather based on Kashmir. Are you aware of the magnitude of trade between China and the US? Also the fact that Chinese are so heavily invested in the US? Any overt action to “prop” up India to directly take on China may end up with the rug being pulled out under the US.

The Taliban crackdowns will continue, however they should be limited to anti-State elements (TTP etc) and not those based in Afghanistan. Once the US is gone, the Talibs will be back in power.

really/ how? China is holding US bonds. China needs the US market for its cash flow. If China ever crosses a line in global policy, the USA can stop buying stuff from China and also renege on the bonds. In 36 hours Chinese economy will be in utter shambles.

For example - China was making open official threats last month warning Obama against meeting Dalai Lama. Dalai Lama happily visited the Whitehouse, had a grand meeting and made happy statements after that.

Next - China warned against supplying arms to Taiwan. USA just shipped the armaments without batting an eyelid.

Even in th elong term China needs the USA - where else are they going to steal technology from?
