Afghanistan sits on $3 trillion in minerals

[dexter]

Afghanistan's mountains obstruct stability and prosperity. Conflict and tribalism has shaken the state to its core. Now, those same mountains may hold the answer to its misfortune.

I like how we border countries with the worlds 2nd largest oil reserves and trillions of dollars worth of minerals, yet somehow we got nothing and are deficient in both energy and raw materials.

MOST other nations would have invaded those places LONG AGO.

Important people know about the secrets of Afghanistan, why do you think the war in Afghanistan is still on going?

Since we have given so much to Afghans they owe us $1 Trillion for all this at-least.

One needs to be realistic, what have we given them except religious extremism that caused decades of fighting.

This is misleading. Every country has trillions of dollars worth of minerals. The question is are they economically exploitable?

We should give them even more hell, they have tried to screw us since 1947, they just didn't like our response, they would have been totally happy with succeeding and destroying Pakistan and splitting the land between them and India

They just didn't like that we kind of FCUKED them harder


On a separate note Pakistan also has untapped resources that are untapped

Time to economically colonise Afghanistan and give the middle finger to the powers of the world... If they want minerals they''ll have to get through us first.

if Taliban ever dig these minerals out when they takeover Afghanistan, the only thing they are going want to buy with it are AK47s. lets make a factory for it and exchange AKs for minerals, and sell it to the open market, and use some of those funds to build a wall on the Pak-Iran and Pak-Afg borders, so wide, thick and tall that would make Trump orgasm.

I've heard BS like this about balochistan. Till now nothing has been proven or taken out. Before CPEC there was this narrative that was being fed to common pakistanis that balochistan is filled with oil and minerals and what not. billions worth of ruby, diamonds and other stuff and now since 2015 there's this new narrative about deepest port and western route, joining different countries, balochistan is the heart of CPEC etc. Till now nothing has been proven. No minerals taken out, and the one's we tried to take out we all know how riko diq is going, there's this western route but on paper only. in reality idk even the first phase of 55km hakla-di khan motorway is completed or not. Conclusion is looking as the history of 70+ years. All talks like these are shit and nothing more.

Why not just divide afghanistan with uzbiks and tajiks and we should keep the pashtoon areas. Win win for everybody and Afghanistan will be more peaceful then it has ever been.

"REFUGE" and helped them from Soviet Invasion. Yes, we had a fair share of our shortcomings but that doesn't mean we haven't taken a huge economical loss because of them.

Our people are worth more than any gold or precious materials.
