The Biblical Apocalypse speaks of the war kicking off somewhere in the mid east with armies of thousands and thousands of thousands (millions). The actual phrasing depends upon the version you choose. Some say two hundred million. Consider the article below, and the locations on the map below that. If the Taliban take Afghanistan, and its almost certain they will, they will consolidate their base of operation. They are certainly in sympathy with the million or so Uyghurs the Chinese are abusing not far from them. If they stir up shit in china then the Chinese push westward to stop it, and perhaps even be the next foolish regime to invade Astan it could unite the Islamic peoples against them. Then there is the oil...

So millions headed westward towards the oilfields is certainly going to bring a massive response and the Chinese can field 1,000,000 soldiers.

Things are looking up. Glad Im old and feeble cause I aint going nowhere to fight nobody.

Oh my, this will wreck the planet. The Dems are getting exactly what they asked for.

So many have said it the past about "oil" and/or "Rare Earth Metals"..... why don't we just get the word out onto the chinese innerwebz/media/back-room-talks that the medulla oblongatta of persians cures impotence and heightens experiences. And on top of that, is a natural "fountain of youth"....

I'm just sayin'....

The Apocalypse will be fought in the area around the region of Megiddo in Israel. That's where the word Armageddon comes from. Many people think that Armageddon IS the battle, but it's actual believe that this is the PLACE where the battle will take place.

Megiddo

Megiddo, an impressive site in the Lower Galilee region of northern Israel was once an ancient city was critical that dominated the Aruna Pass (Wadi Ara

The Taliban will not mess with China knowing that the rules of engagement will be different than with the US.

And this seals the deal:

China 'is prepared to recognize the Taliban as legitimate'

According to U.S. and foreign intelligence sources, Chinese Communist Party leaders are preparing to formalize their relationship with the Islamist insurgents if the take Kabul.

The Soviets and Americans have played in A-stan because it made money for the respective MICs.

China will go in purely to advance their ideology/global aspirations and be successful. They will visit brutality on the Muslims, the likes of which have not been seen in this modern day and age. I would be very nervous if I were Taliban/Muslim.

And the CIA will supply the Taliban with equipment. Oh wait they already left them a bunch of equipment by accident.

Making the taliban legitimate I can see working to an extent, as its really the only thing that hasn't been tried, but also don't see it getting you anything resembling a favorable outcome.

Afghanistan is extremely segmented and tribal. It could literally be broken into 20+ balkanized sections solely based on 'who hates who'. Look at it as if you had asked people in Idaho or Montana what they think about CA and if they'd want CA to be part of their country or not. Same idea.

I know what China is trying to do; basically appease them and then go in and take all of the lithium and whatever while A. leaving them crumbs for terrorist shit as well as B. arming them.

Here is where that gets tricky, as is any sort of arrangement where you let anything from Afghanistans' actions have a result onto you.

- Massive civil war to come (If Im China, I have to start picking sides. Oops, no longer 'unified')

- The money/arms you do give them, what do you think they're going to do with it? That's right - plan terrorist shit. Oh, P.S., you're going to get blown up randomly too.

- It's now opened a liability towards China. Supply terrorists, terrorists do terrorist shit, China is now liable. What, you don't think that after 20 years of being occupied that a bunch of uneducated dumbfucks with newfound free time and foreign money aren't going to try and do some shit? LOL

- China will try to impose their laws and ideology. Nothing will get you blown up faster with a bunch of muslim terrorists than those 2 things.

- China will end up having to slowly bring troops in. Which will begin to look exactly like what happened with the Russians to the same end effect.

Good plan idea (especially when comparing it to COIN which we all told you would fail miserably), but, its just going to be another route to the same bullshit end.

This allows China to go in and mine the trace and precious compounds that all technology runs on.... they will control over 75% of the market that is the highest consumed market in the world per $. (Information Technology)

I would say that the Chinese has already discussed this and have treatise with the Taliban. Basically, don't mess with our mining operations and we will help you hold A-Stan. But... if one of you bastards start that Allah-snackbar... you're dealing with a whole different world view than your previous opponents.

The difference being that the Chinese can land 250,000-500,000 troops there, at least for a while, until things are subdued. They have a clear path in from their NW province, straight to Kabul. The only ROE is kill enough to make the rest quit.

I don't have time to get into the numerology used in the Book of Revelation (the numbers used have symbolic meaning) or the Old Testament symbolism and its usage in the Book of Revelation, but I will let Dr. Michael Heiser speak a little bit on it. If you are really interested do some research on the scholarly work done on the book of Revelation; G.K. Beale's work is pretty extensive.

Also another quick note apocalypse does not mean the end of the world. We transliterated the Greek word ἀποκάλυψις to apocalypse in the English. A transliteration is not a translation. If we were to translate ἀποκάλυψις to English it just means an uncovering or revealing. It is used 18 times in the New Testament, only once in Revelation. Apocalypse as used by John in Revelation and the other New Testament writers does not mean the end of the world. We as modern users have changed it in our vernacular to mean this (think zombie apocalypse).

Interesting. It may not mean 'destruction' but it currently could imply the 'revealing, or laying bare of that yet unknown' concerning the fruits of the flesh and its eventual effects on man and his world. Looks like we're determined to destroy it one way or another.

It’s actually pronounced Weegur, a friend lived with them for 3 years and learned their language.

eta: My friend turned down a rather large (well into 6 figure salary) salary offer from an unspecified US intel agency to translate for them.
