So that's why we're seeing stories about skirmishes between Iran and Afghanistan.

Edit:

The East Turkistan Islamic Movement, a Xinjiang-based separatist group, is also present in Afghanistan.

It's going to be a lot easier to end these struggles with the yanks gone. And we know that China already has the recipe for success…

Beijing will have its work cut out to bring fruitful negotiations to an area long used to violent arguments and war.

Un/fortunately, all this was caused by the US. With them gone, the task will be a lot easier. The question is, has the US really left or did it just withdraw it's visible presence?

Basically, once US is pushed out of the region then there will finally be a road towards peaceful development. I think that US position is becoming untenable there because they have practically no allies aside from Israel. Once they're forced out of Syria then they're limited in what they can do to keep supporting terrorist groups.
