In this video, Joe Rogan posits a TinFoil Hat conspiracy theory. I have commented as below.
I think as tinfoil hat conspiracies your one is weak (no disrespect intended). I would argue a more tinfoil hat conspiracy would be that the US has left Afghanistan, and left vast hoards of weapons behind deliberately to arm the Taliban in the hope that they travel to western China to demonstrate their displeasure at the CCP's treatment of Uyghurs.
It seems
insane from this distance that the Taliban would consider the US a greater
threat to Islam than the CCP. As a thought experiment, drop Israel out of the
US/Middle-East equation and then look at the US/Middle-East relationships.
Where are the pinch points between the US and the greater Muslim world? Iran,
Syria, Afghanistan, and yet the greater Muslim world is far larger than that,
extending as it does into the Indian Ocean and South Pacific region. I don't
think I'm wrong in saying that the US trades with almost all countries that are
predominantly Islamic globally (If not by political systems, just as an
over-arching religious denomination).
Why then
would the Taliban see the US as their main enemy, when right on Afghanistan's
border lies the CCP's territory (I don't want to say China explicitly because
clearly, the people aren't necessarily the party), and the CCP, is by dint of
`alleged' forced sterilisation of Uyghur women (amongst other measures)
effectively removing an entire generations ability to reproduce. That is exactly
how species become extinct, that is eugenics and genocide.
The conspiracy then is: Allow the Taliban to have advanced weaponry, and nudge them
in the direction of the CCP's territory in hope that the CCP gets caught up
with cross border insurgency, and is stymied by the kind of terrorism that the
US and Europe have suffered for decades.
PS: Love the
show.
