At the end of August 2021, the evacuation of the U.S. army from Afghanistan, which also became a big picture of the chaotic rule of the Biden administration, as political enemies Trump and Republicans are even more deadly.

On September 18, local time, US President Trump, who was on a state visit to the UK, held a press conference with British Prime Minister Starmer. During this period, he once again criticized the Biden administration's Afghanistan policy as a "complete disaster" and believed that the United States could have withdrawn its troops "forcefully and with dignity" while retaining control of Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

Not only that, Trump also told reporters that his government was preparing to take back the Bagram Air Force Base. This time, he not only repeatedly stressed the base's "strategic value" and claimed the move was "necessary", but even forced affiliates to cheat China, hype claiming that "the base is close to China's nuclear weapons facilities."

¡°By the way, we are struggling to take back [the Bagram Air Base],¡± Trump slightly described his idea as ¡°a little breaking news¡± and declared: ¡°We are struggling to take back the base because [Afghan government officials] need us to provide something.

The Hong Kong South China Morning Post that the Bagram base is currently controlled by Afghanistan.The TalibanEarlier, Trump has repeatedly hyped to despise the base's relationship with China, but the Afghan side has denied this claim.

Reuters also quoted several current and former U.S. officials as saying that Trump¡¯s plan to regain the Bagram air base would require the deployment of more than 10,000 U.S. troops and various advanced air defense systems, which seems likely to be ¡°a new round of invasion of Afghanistan.¡±

Trumply suggested in speeches that day that the United States could withdraw the Bagram air base after obtaining some form of consent from the Afghan Taliban, but he did not provide any specific details of the ongoing negotiations, and it is not clear in what form the agreement will be reached.

Bagram Air Force Base, 44 kilometers north of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, was once the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan and the central hub of the 20-year U.S.-led war in Afghanistan. Until August 2021, when U.S. and NATO troops withdrew from Afghanistan, the base was also abandoned together.

During the war in Afghanistan, the Bagram Air Force Base had fast-food restaurants such as King of Hamburg and Vikings serving the U.S. military, as well as shops selling goods ranging from electronics to Afghan carpets.

A U.S. official who refused to disclose his name said the U.S. has no detailed plans to take over the Bagram Air Force base at the moment, saying any effort to take back the base would be a ¡°huge task.¡±

The official said that occupying and holding Bagram Air Base would require tens of thousands of soldiers, huge sums of money to repair the base, and at the same time, it would face supply difficulties because it would become an "American enclave" isolated in a landlocked country.

Even if the U.S. military regains control of the base, huge efforts will still be needed to clear and defend its vast periphery to prevent the area from being used to launch rocket attacks against U.S. troops stationed there. "I don't see how that works in reality," the official said.

Some experts said that even if the United States can take it back, this huge air base will be difficult to ensure security in the initial stage, and it will require huge manpower to operate and protect it. Even if the Afghan Taliban accepts the reoccupation of Bagram Air Force Base by the United States after negotiations, the base still needs to defend against threats from terrorists such as Islamic State and Al Qaeda. In addition, the base may also face advanced missile threats from Iran. In June this year, Iran attacked a major US air base in Qatar after the US air strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.

In February, Trump complained that Biden had abandoned the Bagram Air Base and claimed that a small U.S. military station could have remained there at the time.

After returning to the White House, Trump said he hoped that the United States would acquire territories such as the Panama Canal and Greenland Island, and that he seemed to have been paying attention to the air base in Bagram for years, according to Reuters. Trump¡¯s ¡°military vision¡± if realised would mean a ¡°major reversal¡± because the now in power Afghan Taliban had been committed to expelling U.S. troops and taking back the country from the U.S.-backed government.

In March this year, when asked about Trump's claim that "China controlled the air base" at the time, Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid warned the United States: "They should not make emotional remarks based on unfounded information."

In an interview with Reuters, a former senior U.S. defense official lessened the significance of recovering the base, including Trump¡¯s hype of its ¡°geographical advantage¡± near China. ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any special military advantage there,¡± the former military official said, ¡°The risk (of recovering the base) can be said to be greater than the profits.¡±

During Trump¡¯s first term in office, the U.S. government agreed in February 2020 with the Afghan Taliban in Doha, Qatar¡¯s capital, to withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by May 2021, after which the Biden administration set a deadline for the withdrawal of troops to 31 August 2021, but in August 2021, the Afghan Taliban entered and seized Kabul, withdrawing the U.S.-led International Coalition Emperor, and ending the longest war in U.S. history in a wooden way.

During the next two weeks, Kabul International Airport played a shocking chaotic escape, tens of thousands of Afghans flooded to Kabul airport, when the American military aircraft slid on the runway, many followed the aircraft, some attempted to catch the side of the aircraft, at least six people fell from the sky; the extremist group "Islamic State Khrousan Branch" (IS-K) launched a terrorist attack at the airport, and the U.S. military in panic shoot at the crowd, the two overlaps resulted in about 200 people killed, including 13 U.S. soldiers.

On August 16, 2021, a U.S. transport aircraft slid along the runway of Kabul airport.

Western society widely believes that the withdrawal from Afghanistan is one of the worst bribes of government since Biden came to power, and the Biden administration also acknowledges that tens of billions of dollars of military equipment has fallen into the hands of the Afghan Taliban.

Many overseas social network users, media, and even U.S. congressmen have compared the withdrawal of U.S. troops to the latest version of "Saigon Moment". Agence France-Presse describes the withdrawal of US troops from Kabul as "an echo of the Saigon moment" (Kabul evacuations-echoes of US exit from Saigon); McConnell, then leader of the Republican Party in the US Senator, compared the "fall" of Kabul to "the shameful moment in Saigon in 1975".

It is noteworthy that in a report released by the White House in April 2023, the Biden administration blamed the situation at the time largely on the previous administration led by Trump.The White House that the Trump administration was unprepared for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan and did not offer the Biden administration a plan to evacuate U.S. citizens in the final phase and serve the U.S. for the Afghans, ¡°President Biden¡¯s choice of how to withdraw from Afghanistan was severely limited by the conditions created by his predecessor.¡±

Since the Biden administration came to power, Western countries led by the United States have continued to hype about China's "expansion of nuclear weapons".In June 2021, the Washington Post claimed to have found China's 110 missile launch wells built in "Juman"; In July 2021, the New York Times also quoted the so-called "think tank people" as saying that China's Xinjiang Hami region "built 110 new launch wells for nuclear missiles", which has made China's number in the construction of nuclear wells reach 250.

However, in a report submitted to Congress in 2024, the U.S. military said that as of 2023, ¡°no known military contacts between the U.S. Army and the Afghan Taliban government¡± were.

Regarding similar hype in the United States, People's Daily has long refuted rumors that these "missile silos" are actually wind power bases. People's Daily quoted Du Wenlong, a military expert, as saying that this is not the first time that the United States has similar hype. The United States has also mistaken Fujian Tulou for a missile silo.

It is worth noting that the US media and think tanks exaggerate China's "nuclear expansion", which is actually an act of thieves calling to catch thieves. According to the official website data of the United Nations, the United States conducted 1,032 tests between 1945 and 1992, making it the only country that conducted the most nuclear tests and deployed nuclear weapons during the war. As of 1996, more than 2,000 nuclear tests had been conducted worldwide.

According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on August 20, this year, Afghan Prime Minister Ahond met with the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau member and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kabul.

Akhund said that China is a just force in the world and has always been committed to friendly cooperation with Afghanistan and other countries for common development and progress. History has proved that those countries that attempt to interfere in other countries will suffer their own consequences, while those that pursue friendly policies will succeed. This is the uniqueness of China. Over the past two decades, Afghanistan has been plagued by war and chaos, and some western countries still maliciously smear Afghanistan. The Afghan government will make every effort to resolve problems, promote development and improve people's livelihood, and is unwilling and will not create trouble for other countries. Afghanistan looks forward to strengthening cooperation with China, promoting positive and sustainable friendly relations, and will never allow any force to use Afghan territory to threaten China, and will always stand with China.

Wang Yi said that in history, imperialists, colonialists, and hegemonists all tried to invade and occupy Afghanistan, but they all failed in the end, and such attempts will not succeed in the future. China has always advocated that all countries, big or small, are equal, and opposes bullying the weak by the strong and bullying the small by the big. All countries should treat each other as equals and achieve win-win cooperation. In this world, the rich should not get richer and the poor get poorer. Every country, including Afghanistan, has the right to achieve development and revitalization.
