The ‘Great Reset’ in Microcosm: “Data Driven Defeat” in Afghanistan — Alastair Crooke

The flaw was that Afghanistan as a liberal progressive vision was a hoax in the first place: Afghanistan was invaded, and occupied, because of its geography. It was the ideal platform from which to perturb Central Asia, and thus unsettle Russia and China.

Exactly. This was the real mission, and the rest was an excuse to justify liberal interventionism as cover for the hidden geopolitical and geostrategic agenda of US global hegemony. The excuse also became the excuse for gorging at the public trough, like several trillion US. But China's unexpected and unanticipated swift rise necessitated a recalculation of resource deployment, which Donald Trump had already begun with his economic warfare of tariffs and sanctions. So here we are, preparing for a two-front war with Russia and China before China becomes dominant militarily. That window is shutting fast, and it already may be too late.
