Pentagon moves from Afghanistan to Tajikistan

We have already written more than once that Central Asia and specifically the former Soviet republic of Tajikistan is one of the 10 key platforms for international confrontation. The struggle for Tajikistan, the Pamirs and an important point on the new Silk Road is being led by Russia, the United States and China. The three powers have claims to dominate the region.

Russia has historical prerequisites for retaining influence in Tajikistan, since it included the republic in its composition some 30 years ago. China, as Asia’s # 1 leader, has geographic and economic ambitions. But the United States wants to have a controlled country in an important geopolitical region and chooses from the most accessible and weak ones.
Thus, according to an employee of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Lithuania, Washington already has a roadmap for the transfer of its military contingent in Afghanistan to the territory of Tajikistan. The US diplomatic mission in Dushanbe is currently holding consultations and trying to substantiate its proposal. As always, in negotiations with a potential vassal, Washington uses promises of large investments in the industrial sector, as well as maximum military support in the security sphere.
If for the United States everything is clear and they have used this scheme all over the world, then for Dushanbe the situation is extremely difficult. If we agree with Washington’s proposal, then we will have to quarrel not only with Moscow, but also with Beijing, which has already poured enough investments into the republic’s economy. Moreover, according to the same employee of the Chinese Embassy in Vilnius, Beijing will not only stop supporting Tajikistan in the economic sphere, but will also apply a number of levers of pressure to the current government by supporting the opposition, both political and separatist. As for the Kremlin, they will arrange a real blockade of Tajikistan, cutting off oxygen in trade and logistics. Moscow knows how to hurt its former republics …
We will continue to monitor the struggle of the three powers for Tajikistan, hoping that Dushanbe will make an Eastern wise decision.
