The US went into Afghanistan to steal all their shit and used 9/11 as an excuse. Plain and simple.

According to a joint study by The Pentagon and the United States Geological Survey, Afghanistan has an estimated US$1 trillion[5] of untapped minerals.

Untapped. That means, the US would first have to find the minerals, then set up mines, then get the minerals from the mines to some railway-logistics-center, then get the minerals to some seaport in either Pakistan or Iran.



And, no offense but, nobody in their right mind thinks that the US would attack Iran. Attacking Iran would make the invasion of Iraq look like a cake-walk, because Iran is bigger, has more population, has a better economy, a better military, more foreign allies, and so much money that they can afford to fund the Hezbollah-militias in Lebanon. It would be a quagmire bigger than Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam combined.
Plus, even though the country is currently culturally divided between the religiously conservative older generation and a liberal youth, attacking Iran would unite the population of Iran against a common enemy.

Seriously, what kind of drugs did you do to actually type that the US would attack China? Because China is a the biggest economic power-house of planet Earth and could ruin the US-economy with the snap of a finger by demanding that the US pay out the US-loans that China has bought. And if the US were to refuse to do that, nobody would ever fucking again buy US credits. Goodbye US-economy, hello inflation.
Oh, and did you know that China has good diplomatic relationships with Africa? If the US attacks China, it can kiss the whole continent of Africa goodbye, in a geopolitical sense. (Russian propaganda has already started spreading anti-american talking-points in Africa. The russian media has framed the western criticism of alternative cures for COVID as a racist attack on the traditional medicines of Africa.)

And please explain why the US would attack Pakistan? Sure, rogue elements in their intelligence-community protected Osama Bin Laden, but they are one of the few islamic intelligence-services that provides the US with any information on islamic terrorists at all.
Plus, they have nukes.
Plus, Pakistan is an enemy of India, which is in a Cold War with China for dominance on the asian continent. Attacking Pakistan would be seen as an attack on the geopolitical interests of China.
