āand the third reason weāre there is because there are 20 million uyghurs, and they donāt like han chinese, in xinxiang province in western china. and if the cia has to mount an operation using those uyghurs as erdoÄan has done in turkey against assadā there are 20,000 of them in [i couldnāt make out the place name] in syriaā right now, for example. thatās why the chinese might be deploying military forces to syria in the very near future, to take care of those uyghurs that erdoÄan invited in. well, the cia would want to destabilise china and that would be the best way to do it; to foment unrest, and to join with those uyghurs in pushing the han chinese and beijing from internal places rather than external. not saying itās going on right now, you didnāt hear that [he chuckles]. but it is a possibility. so thatās why weāre there and iāll wager thereās not a handful of americans who realise that we, our military, has decided that for these strategic reasons which are well thought out, weāre gonna be in afghanistan for the next half century.ā
