Historically after war the US has become friends with its enemy and had a good trading relationship. I think the US should sign trade deals with the Taliban to get good deals on opium and precious metals. Chinas already trying to buddy up to them and the US has imposed sanctions on them. They border China it would be a good country to be friends with.
Tell that to Germany, Japan, Vietnam and every nation the US has ever went to war with aside from North Korea.
Because we can have a working relationship with our prior enemies. The taliban wants to burn infidels alive. So... I dont think we can just shake hands.
Japan and Germany are friends with the US because even though we gave them a definitive loss, we spent much of our money and effort helping them rebuild.
This recent war was long, drawn out, and resulted in neither side winning or losing. Just citizens hating citizens of a different country. It wouldn't be impossible to establish a positive relationship. It would just cost a lot.
Enough of this friendly neighbor bullshit. Borders are there for a reason. The worst mistake was mixing people, mixing ideologies, mixing cultures. Haven't we learned from the stealing of black people from africa to bring to the USA yet
You misunderstand how china goes about "making friends"
They dont make friends they make enemies that are too terrified to fight back. If we go to war with China alot of their "friends" will not remain neutral (maybe on paper) they will send supplies to the allies that want to kick the ass of their bully.
I dont see a logical reason for the taliban to side with godless china who have a horrendous record (worse than the US) with dealing with muslims. Then china would have to deal with the taliban and they would have as much luck as russia.
