Taliban Takeover of Afghanistan 2021: Impact on India

[ThE BrOkEn HeArT]

Talibans have given very positive signals so far. Their spokesman has said that they don't consider India as an enemy. They want Indian support and investment in Afghanistan. In theit new avatar, taliban tries to project themselves as a Genuine ruler of the Afghanistan rather than the militia controlling the Afghan areas. We should adopt a policy in which consider whosoever in Afghanistan as the rulling party as the friend of India rather than taking sides. China will try to enter into Afghanistan by money power and by bringing the t Afghan politicians. We will have to counter them with diplomacy, intelligence and friendship we have built in Afghanistan over the years. That will

Agreed. India should maintain good relations with all the stake holders in Afghanistan except Porkia.
This is the only way we can save out investment in Afghanistan.

Will these terrorist cross over to India

If they cross over to India, it will put Pakistan in FATF black list. See the game.
There are only slightly chance. Not concerning at all.

Rather than spending huge amount on maintaining US forces in Afghanistan, they should have armed, trained and equipped Afghan forces. US mismanaged the event. They could have spent the money in better way which would have produced far better result.

Yes. They could create an army of super soldiers with that money. But they took it personal after 9/11.

USA has invested 6.4 trillion $ in middle east since 2001 . With that amount spent in research humanity wld have created new sources of clean energy .. Or if they had put that money to research , infra .. something like belt nd road initiative .. There is serious flaws in American character as a nation .

Return of Investment on saving humanity is very less compared to wars.

USA gdp in 2001 - 10.5 trillion $
USA gdp in 2021 - 22.5 trillion $.

Actually, US should have spend the money on Ideological subversion and on infighting between different groups of Talibans. They spend too much on hard measures and withdrew ultimately. Those who have too much of money doesn't consider cheap option.

It seem russia-India-iran axis is once again coming together against Taliban. Our EAM has been on a non stop tour in central asia. It does seem that preparations are being made to allow set up bases and supply routes.

Like agencies would come and tell him see we got assets there and see we are using them.

He is not wrong though.

India absolutely failed to predict not only the departure of US but also the strength of Taliban and ANA.

Now we are in a race against time where we are trying to piece up whatever we can and try to throw them at the taliban. If India did have proper assets in Afghanistan the northern districts wouldn't have fallen like that.

Not really, we are not the only one to have stake in Afg but other countries also they are also having same problems.

It's Afg government which is trying to do that we are just trying to have a stake in that and even lets assum we have many assets in Afg but would they come in handy I don't think so when a country like US had to crawl in those mountains we know where we stand.

About the departure of US they themselves were not sure to withdraw or fight every country is panicking you can yourself see from the events and for the northern alliance it's nearly a dead thing even if revived will not yield much dividends to be honest.

A lot of countries have stake in afghanistan true but India is one of the highest investors in afghanistan.

Assets would have come in handy had they coordinated with the ANA from the get go same goes for militant groups.

US departure was imminent and that became clear the moment taliban landed in qatar. We should have started our preparations from then itself.

Unlike many other countries the situation in Afg affects us more due to the proximity of talibani groups with ISI.

Northern alliance could have worked had everyone stepped in last year itself now it is a little to late.

But i do agree with your point overall not much can be done.

The good thing is that we are trying now.

That's a forgone conclusion.
But
History is that Taliban will come back to bite chinks and their newly minted son. US having plundered trillion dollar too, are not going to stay silent for too long specially when they see their old dogs turning on them... Joe Is temp IMO or at best have 3 more years in WH , he is already showing signs of weakness medically.. His few goof ups are too obvious...

Future is interesting. The way karzai is behaving, I am he have some surprises in his sleeves. For sure, our agencies are on work and protecting our investments.. Might be covert though....

See this is where the problem is even if we would be having assets or ANA fully supported by us they would be of no use, they all are islamic supporters remember they will choose Taliban before us anyday and for ANA even we had armed them to teeth they would have lost even if we had done it 2 years back it would have resulted in failure why I am saying this is that you need will and man to fight which are in short supply for ANA and majority of thier leaders are corrupt and don't really have any stake in winning the fight.

And we can't send our man at any cost there it would be wise to keep them at loc rather than in Afghanistan.

And here when all our journalists are talking about assets like how we close a single consulate according to them USA, China, Russia all got assets and investments but they also closed before us and USA had to run in night remember. These guys have just got intelligence agencies to bitch about nothing more.

And when we talk about assets in what context we are talking about is it human intelligence, is it mercenaries, is it Taliban warlords, is it other countries intelligence agencies what is a asset? Are our journalists saying we built a dam there so we should send army there to protect it or deploy our assets just to protect a consulate is it worth it?
