FOX News: Biden helps secure Tajikistan’s border amid US border crisis

As for the U.S. helping another country secure its borders while ignoring its own border crisis. What can I say. You get the government that you vote for.
What is our strategic interest for spending all this money?
ReplyDeleteJac...stop being a trouble maker! Joe's not too impressive with questions such as yours and his sidekick miss kamala was chosen for reasons not related to governing.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing is Tajikistan does not fall to the Taliban. You could call it a strategic interest.
ReplyDeleteIf Tajikistan was in danger of falling, the Chinese and Russians might even cooperate to whoop some ass. So, if China and Russia will not allow the Taliban to take over Tajikistan, what is the US's strategic interest there?
I think the strategic interest is the strategic interest of a Dip or Dips in the State Department to grow a bureaucratic empire. Or Maybe it is all they know how to do?
If Russia and China would take care of it, a strategic interest of the US would be to balance the books, so it would have the wherewithal to do stuff later. So that there would be a later.
The Tajiks offered up Kulyab in 2001, which Rumsfeld turned down and then within 3 months the Tajiks turned down the US. Russia wants us out. So can't Russia hold Tajik's hand?

"You get the government you vote for." Of course this assumes it's a legitimate government and did not cheat it's way into power.
