Why the US May Return to Afghanistan

The United States wants to reclaim the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. The base is strategically located near China’s Xinjiang region and also borders Iran. “We gave it to (the Taliban) for nothing,” US President Donald Trump said during a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “We’re trying to get it back, by the way.”

I sincerely hope the neocons encircling the Capitol do not push the POTUS to redeploy troops to Afghanistan. When I met Donald Trump in March 2020, he repeatedly stated that he wanted to end America’s involvement in the Middle East. It is an endless war that began long ago. Trump said he was tired of writing letters to mothers to report that their sons and daughters were not returning home from a war that was never America’s to fight.

Strategically located, the air base is only 500 miles away from China. Rare earth minerals that the US so desperately needs can be found nearby as well. The proximity to China is not the primary motive for reclaiming the base. Only 30 miles away lies an essential trade network in Kabul controlled by Russia.

Russia removed Afghanistan from the blacklist status last November and has been strengthening ties to develop strategic infrastructure. Russia and Afghanistan have been planning a 573 km $6.9 billion railway with Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and Belarus. The Trans-Afghan Corridor railway service will connect Afghanistan to ports in Uzbekistan and Pakistan. This will simplify transit as cargo will be able to reach Pakistan from Uzbekistan in 3 to 5 days compared to the 35 days it currently takes. The line will also incorporate road transport.

The route is crucial for Central Asian logistics. Annual freight volume is expected to reach 22 million tons by 2030, and 34 million tons by 2040. There are discussions of using this route to develop future infrastructure projects, including pipelines. Afghanistan’s economy has little to offer, but it is positioned to control 20% of the cargo flowing through this area. Bagram is located about an hour awa,y and the US is keen to assert influence.

The Taliban would never willingly return the base to the US, of course, and economic offers would be of little importance considering the amount Afghanistan is set to gain from this railway project. Trump said “bad things” will happen if and when the Taliban refuses to return the base. Again, the media is not reporting the real reason that the United States suddenly wants to reclaim Bagram—RUSSIA!

H-1B Visa – Top Talent Only

Hiring new talent from abroad will cost employers hefty fines under new provisions to the H-1B visa. Amid the push for American companies to hire American workers, Donald Trump has raised the application fee for the H-1B visa from $1,700-$4,500 to $100,000.

Over 70% of H-1B visa holders are Indian citizens, as reported by Fortune. “This measure is likely to have humanitarian consequences by way of the disruption caused for families,” India’s Ministry of External Affairs said in its official statement. “Government hopes that these disruptions can be addressed suitably by the US authorities.” Chinese nationals hold the second-largest number of H-1B visas at 12%.

Hundreds of visa holders have returned to the United States from overseas as they fear they may be unable to re-enter. The White House issued follow-up statements to clarify that the new one-time fee does not apply to those who already hold H-1B visas.

Companies wishing to import talent to the US must be willing to invest in the best and brightest. There is concern that the measure could stifle innovation by preventing potential talent from entering the US workforce. However, the Trump Administration is validly concerned about rising unemployment.

The number of unemployed Americans exceeds the available jobs. US employers have reduced their workforce more in the first seven months of 2025 than in all of 2024. AI is replacing around 491 tech jobs per day. We’ve seen a 36% decline in tech jobs this year compared to last as technology advances. The US outsourced 300,000 tech-based jobs overall to India as offshoring trends continue. Not only is labor cheaper, but India produces over 1.5 million engineering graduates annually. The tech sector is especially vulnerable to this increased visa fee as 80% of computer-related H-1B workers are from India. Additionally, the big tech companies have the most H-1B visa holders on their payroll. Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft each employ over 4,000 H-1B workers.

American companies remain the most desirable workplaces in the world, as the payout far surpasses European salaries. The UK noted on Monday that it is considering eliminating some visa fees to attract top talent that is blocked from entering the US. The UK and Europe are indeed more desirable than China or India, but workers still want to come to America for the most lucrative opportunities.

If companies are willing to invest $100,000 in an employee, then that person is top-tier talent. The question remains whether American companies can hire domestically and maintain the same level of innovation aptitude.

Thailand Freezes Over 3 Million Bank Accounts

Thailand has become a case study for the use of biometric data in every facet of life. Every banking transaction is monitored and scrutinized. Any perceived discrepancy is flagged as fraud and punished without due process. Regulations have overwhelmed the system, resulting in a full-fledged banking crisis. Over three million Thai bank accounts were frozen instantaneously without warning as a result of government overreach.

Transaction denied. You contact your bank to see why the payment failed only to learn that your account has been frozen–all of your accounts, for that matter. The bank is investigating you for suspicious activity and potential money laundering or fraud. There was no warning call or letter and there is no clarification as to what transaction was flagged. You’re completely locked out of your accounts and have lost the ability to purchase. You cannot fill your gas tank, you cannot purchase groceries, you’ve been completely removed from the financial system, and do not know when or if you’ll regain access to your funds.

This is the reality for millions of people banking in Thailand. The Bank of Thailand (BoT), with the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, began an excessive crackdown on perceived fraud and streamlined the process under the premise of safeguarding the banking sector. Thousands of accounts are frozen each week. Panic has ensued. Retailers are no longer accepting cards, demanding payment in cash as they, too, are worried that they will be removed from the banking system.

Assistant Governor of the BoT, Darunee Saeju, publicly stated that the central bank is working to “immediately unlock wrongly affected accounts.” Saeju insists that new measures will enable the banks to verify accounts in under 48 hours. Confidence in the government and the entire banking system evaporated. People rationally fear that their account will be targeted next, without warning. Government overreach has backfired, and the people are removing themselves from the banking system entirely.

This phenomenon is not limited to Thailand. Vietnam recently erased 86 million unverified bank accounts. Governments are demanding banks track every transaction, tracing each account back to individual citizens using biometric data. The government believes these provisions will prevent capital from leaving the radar and, therefore, taxation. Instead, governments are propelling the cycle amid this private wave, as the people cannot possibly trust the current financial system.
