That's your family business.
& rest I have a right to my opinion. my comment was only mean to discuss the other possibilities which might/might not present itself.
Yes sir, absolutely you have the right to your opinion, and I am no one to stop yours, only to voice mine responding to yours.
You see, I am developing this bad habit of just dissing and name-calling below-average posts which are baseless rhetoric at best, or at worst just malicious propaganda derived from poisonous media.
Now coming to your post, I ought to have addressed your concerns, but I am getting old and tired of tacking all the fear-mongering of why we are doomed due to (Terrorism/Islam/Pakistan/China/Khalistan/Corruption ... take your pick for the day).
Anyway, my honest try -
Now, when hundreds of thousands of latest assault rifles/ carbines/ LMGs & more worryingly IR/NVG devices are with the Afghan Taliban... imagine the scene that is going to present itself in Kashmir
You realize that JeM/LeT/Other terror orgs. are directly funded, trained, and armed by Pakistan army? They get whatever arms they want, including NVGs, Thermal scopes, and other latest equipment on par with the Pakistan army.
We spent thousands of crores to equip our frontline troops with SIG SAUER 716/IMI NEGEV NG7/LIMITED THERMAL SIGHTS/SNIPER RIFLES ETC... & the jihadis got it all for free
Unfortunate, really. Pakistan & Afghanistan also got hundreds of free MRAPs from America, it's good luck.
There's 10-15yr worth war reserves left in Afghanistan... don't downplay it...
You have no basis or source for saying this. Just guess mark. Even without it, the Taliban will get war reserves from China or Pakistan or selling opium anyway.
We always discuss "oh they won't be able to take Afghanistan... AF-PAK won't ever stabilize"... what if it did?... Next is Kashmirs turn.
Very presumptuous statement. Why would the Taliban take on
any well-armed nation (that includes China, Pakistan as well) when they know they have no chance of winning? What would they gain?
In 90s jihadis & Indian army were similarly armed... that situation has returned... our modernisation effort seems nullified!
In 90s, first of all, Indian army was not present in Kashmir. The border was porous and nearly no demarcation or patrolling. Then the Indian army moved in, set up anti-infiltration grid, and now every inch of LoC is under observation.
Now tell me, why will it matter if the infiltrating terrorist is a Pakjabi or Afghani? A 7.62mm bullet pierces both the races equally, unless, you think like your below statement.
According to Naimat-ullah-shahwali (Nostradamus of Islamic world)... "A force will rise in khorasan(present Afghanistan) that will fight infidels in himalayas & restore glory of Islam"
