China isn't getting the lithium without a railroad and heavy mining operations. That's not going to happen without serious security, local training, capital investments in machinery, and political unanimity. Dollars to donuts the Taliban will factionalize over the details.
Mujahideen were around Pre-Regan.
- Joe Rogan Approved!utopian
- Rambo III would like to thank the brave mujahideen fighterssausages
- Never said that Reagan made the Mujahideen, but the CIA backing them (specifically the Peshawar 7) led to this.garbage
- And China has been building cities in Africa for shits and giggles. I don't think they're going to bat an eye at slapdash rail and mining operations.garbage
- Its not the building it, it’s the keeping it secure, thats the problem.cannonball1978
- Future headlines: "Chinese PMC/PSC's maintain security on African railways." The DOD estimates China is already paying between 20-40 Blackwaters..garbage
- ..to operate internationally. There are over 7000 PSC's that do active domestic work in China. Just to be clear: that's seven thousand individual companies.garbage
- If China starts to fuck about, they are going to fuck about. I don't think a railway is their biggest worry.garbage
