Not that they'd win. There. Eventually who knows what happens. Easier to play sides by funding whatever wants to trade. Easier to acquire resources from stability. Easier to get those resources cheaper from a tyrant.
Who knows, who cares. But the narrative didn't win shit. They became a bunch of mollycoddled cravens.
My mention is due to absurd press popping up. It stirred my ire. They dropped their weapons and ran. They didn't resist. The only resistance was from the Taliban. Anybody else was mollycoddled and paraded as fantasies. The Taliban and their networks simply exploded bombs daily. Those who claimed to align faster detonated them. Women, children, personnel trained turned into foes.
But the narrative hasn't won anything. It put up ballet school's and women's football teams. Some kind of resistance and indoctrination?
Yes it present a problem. Who claims and who gains. Iran, not liked, not even when it was Persia. India and factions. Pakistan and factions. China and the investment. Meanwhile it breeds these other fanatics who faster incite who knows.
I think there's probably more opportunity if it's not got an invader inciting them against. When the cameras are off business gets done. Who knows. It was a heap of bullshit, and the propaganda was even worse.
