Sfârșitul jocului în Afganistan: retragerea SUA și lupta pentru hegemonie globală cu China
The end of the game in Afghanistan: the US withdrawal and the fight for global hegemony with China

Summary/Abstract: One of the most well-known expressions defining the role of Afghanistan in history is "the cemetery of empires." The withdrawal of the US military ahead of schedule and the rapid recapture of this formidable fortress by the Taliban long before the date agreed in the US agreement are events of global geostrategic importance. But these events correlate with a new geopolitical reality that this paper addresses: the global game for power, influence, and control between America and China, now seemingly in favor of the latter. In the author's view, China's counterbalancing of Xinping is a matter of common interest to the European Union and the United States, and the best course of action would be a multi-sectoral and multi-vector consolidation of the transatlantic alliance.
