Afghanistan is our Western Front or launching ground for China. In case we go to war. That way they will have 2 fronts. The other side being Japan and South Korea.

We couldn’t sustain a front there with certain opposition from Russia, Iran, and Pakistan in addition to China.

Can you enlighten me on how you intend to supply this Afghanistan front in a war? It's land locked and surrounded by Iran, Pakistan and Russia (which you have to go through to get to the -stans that actually border it).

“Afghanistan is our Western Front or launching ground for China. In case we go to war. “

So your plan, is to launch a ground war, across a few hundred miles of the northern Himalayas, break out into the Gobi Desert, and race 2000 miles, across China, to link up with our forces landing in the east?
