Bagram Airbase will again take possession of US, Trump announced, why call it ‘America’s power center’

The story of Bagram Airbase is long. The Soviet Union created it in the 1950s. It became his main army base during the Soviet occupation in the 1980s. After the collapse of the Taliban government in 2001, the US controlled it and re -erected it. Spread over 30 square miles, 77 square kilometers, this airbase had state -of -the -art runways, military equipment, arms godowns and strategic facilities. For a long time it remained a symbol of America’s military presence in Afghanistan.

Close to China: This is the biggest argument of Trump. This airbase is just one hour away from the place where China produces its nuclear weapon. That is, this base can be seen as a strategic danger for Beijing.

Pressure on Taliban and terrorism: This base is also important for the increasing impact of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the activities of terrorist organizations. The most important thing, America can run its power from here.

Trump has said many times that America should not have suddenly shifted from Afghanistan. Leaving Bagram airbase was America’s biggest strategic mistake. He believes that as soon as this base is controlled, the US can once again strengthen its hold in Asia and can directly challenge China’s growing strength.

• The presence of America on Bagram means that the pressure on China will increase. This is positive for India’s security and strategic interests. American efforts to bring stability in Afghanistan can protect India’s projects and investment. If terrorism is curbed, India will get indirect security benefits.
• But there is also loss. If the confrontation between the US and the Taliban increases, the area will be unstable and the projects in India’s Afghanistan may be threatened. Pakistan will try to take advantage of this situation, which can cause additional pressure on India.

What is the meaning to China?
China will be most uncomfortable with this announcement. His economic projects in Afghanistan and Belt and Road Initiative may be affected. American monitoring near nuclear bases will increase China’s security concern. China’s regional strategy can be weakened due to the increase in Indo-US.
