Arguments about the Afghanistan peace deal that the US is about to sign with the Taliban continue, with substantial concerns that secret annexes exist to the peace language which would threaten the deal’s sustainability.
Recent reports claimed that among a series of secret annexes, the US included language saying they’re not actually going to leave Afghanistan militarily, and that this seeming deal-breaker was accepted on the grounds it would be a secret.
Pressed on the matter, top Pentagon figures claimed complete ignorance on it. Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Gen. Mark Milley both claimed to have no idea if there were ultimately any secret annexes.
Esper said he knew there were/are annexes to the final deal, but that he doesn’t know if any of them are formally secret or not, saying he would ask the Secretary of State at some point.
Another useless and senseless war the ussa and its cronies have lost.
Once the American camel has its head inside the tent, it’s all over.
Transition to contracted military force with overriding threat of more bombs should make Afghanistan safe for exploitation ad finitum..
“Annexed” to whom? The U.S.? Are we creating the next Puerto Rico over there? My guess it’d be for the mineral rights. Funny how the only time you here the word annex these days is with regard to the Zionist theft of Palestinian land. Now the U.S. has jumped on the bandwagon. With so many Christian Zionists within the Trump Administration, I can see the similarity.
How does the vassals – Saudi and UAE factor in this? Afghanistan will provide construction boom ,pipelines for oil ,and drug trade . Pakistan will be freed to focus on India. Taliban might join Kashmiri insurgency . Taliban ,if taken under the wings by USA will turn gun against China using Uighur . Chechen terrorist might try to leverage again. Syrian situation might be complicated to US – Saudi – UAE favor .
The development in Afghanistan will have not ripple but tsunami effects on Iran India China and Russia.

In text, it’s hard to tell whether you’re being sarcastic or truly don’t understand the two different meanings of the word. Which is it?
I see, we’re just going to call it peace. Maybe we should call it “imminent peace”.
The marketing boys can invent “peace” like they can invent “al Qaeda”, or a “caliphate”.
