"Russia in cahoots with China": Daily Mail readers reacted to the crisis in Afghanistan
China, Russia, Pakistan and Turkey, it seems, intend to officially recognize the rule of the Taliban (an organization banned in the Russian Federation) in Afghanistan after an Islamist terrorist group seized the presidential palace in Kabul on Sunday, and the head of state fled to Tajikistan, writes the British newspaper Daily Mail ...
But Beijing and Islamabad may [...] forge closer ties with the new authorities, while the Chinese state media are already preparing their people for the likelihood of a scenario in which the ruling Communist Party may have to recognize an Islamist group
- notes the publication.
It is also emphasized that Russia did not evacuate its embassy from Kabul.
Some readers comments:
China will start building its superhighway through Afghanistan as soon as they sign up for Belt and Road

Here's everything I need to know about Russia and China
- noted greenblue.
Obviously, China funded this. […] I mean that China has a long and rich history of interaction with the Middle East. I am not surprised. The Silk Road has always been an important part of their history

Joe Biden handed over our military machinery China and Russia for reverse engineering. I think he forgot about her altogether. Vote for Republicans in the 2022 House and Senate elections
- calls on Ecila0.
It's so disgusting that you want to laugh. Biden lagged behind the Russian pipeline. […] And at the same time canceled our own pipeline. We are at our worst in decades
- Some_where is indignant.
I respect Russia. If not for Russia, America would have removed Bashar. Russia and China know what they are doing
- praised Louloubarry.
The greatest irony, of course, is that the Taliban (banned in the Russian Federation) were originally sponsored by the Americans in order to knock Russia out of Afghanistan, and now the Russians are taking full advantage of the current situation.

There is a somewhat overreaction to events here. The West could not remain in Afghanistan forever, and it was obvious that it would return to something like tribalism. Me too news... The countries of the Middle East will now have to deal with this. It's time for the Saudis, Iran and the UAE to work. This is not the start of World War III. It's just the Middle East at its best
- advised Thomas_Jerome_Newton.
Russia was in Afghanistan ten years before the United States, also lost and left. It also cost them billions. China is the winner as they enter, rebuild everything with loans to the Taliban government, and then rule over them and the entire country economically. This is a strategic deal, and the same formula that China works for poor or dim-witted countries around the world. Russia, of course, is now in open collusion with China - so yes, the United States and its allies need to stop being naive. The power is no longer on their side
