It's refreshing to see your confidence in our capabilities. We may not be helpless like yazidi or kurds. But we are not Israel.

Syria type situation is reality in Indian subcontinent whether we like it or not. We better prepare for the worst future. If we live in denial, our future generations will pay for it.
You exaggerated to much of rag tag militia
Isn't Taliban was not there in 1999
War
Didn't we kick the Pakistan ass there

These militia are Slaughtered like pigs in
The valley in 90's

Lol These Talibs were Slaughtered by even Pakistan army in NWFP,FATA ,Swat Valley

In Operation Zarb e Azab

What is your problem ??

We don't share border with Afghanistan
Pakistan does .

I don't think Pakistan GHQ will let Pakistan Punjabi culture turn into Tribalism.

Taliban has relevance in Afghanistan where they enjoy support of radical ideological population
not outside.

Pakistan and Taliban are in a hurry to make gains in Afghanistan, before various sections of Afghans come to terms with the American full withdrawal ( as many used to think of it as a bluff) settle their internal disputes, and mobilize against the Taliban..
but we gotta give it to taliban for tactical planning.

They eliminated Ahmed shah Mehsud just days before 9/11.

they eliminated that Chaman border crossing military fellow(forgot his name ,he was famous) last year while negotiations were going on in qatar.

we don’t get all information from Afghanistan here, we have to assume taking out local military leaders of adversaries in advance in preparation of a future military campaign is part of their handbook. could also explain why there are reports of ANA giving up, maybe there is a leadership vaccum in ANA at a local level created by target killings by Taliban.

a very basic and effective tactic, but democracies can’t fight like this. Even muricans do this in retaliation, not in advance.

Islamic unity is myth but terrorism is reality. Whether we like it or not, terrorism involves lot of killing. If pakistan ends up like afghan or syria, we will be within the range of that clusterf*ck.
Islam is a political ideology and invoked when cheap mercenaries are required. US used it against Russia and subsequently Saudis used it against many countries with funding the Madrasas across the world. Pakistan also used it. However, it has a consequences in terms of back fire and money. Pakistan is unable to handle it. It does not have money nor they have any skill to manage them. Pakistan has stuck into vicious circle. I do not think they can recover from it. so far as Afghanistan is concern, to make Taliban infight is the best solution. It is easily doable with some money. US has the money power to do it but they do not have such a highly skilled guy like Doval in my opinion who can execute it.

He is a unique guy. Inspite of being a spy, he specializes in subversion, Making friendship with enemies and striking solution with militant groups and many more. He is a great negotiator. He has some great operations on his name which changed the future of that region.

watch this & come out of your delusions

tens of thousands of pakis are fighting inside Afghanistan.

Talibs control almost all borders now... means assured supply of jihadis from Pakistan & same time denying logistics to kabul

some members here have really suspicious reluctance towards taliban
In the last 30 days close to 800 Taliban are dead. More are dying.
These are not 90’s as media is trying to portray.

After US defeat we can finally conclude that US policy in Afghanistan has completely failed. Their exit was disastrous for Afghanistan but we all knew it was going to happen one day. They spent 20 years in that country. A few more years wasn't going to change anything.

The only major mistake they made is they didn't put enough pressure on Pakistan. ISI were giving shelter to afghan terrorists in full knowledge of CIA yet USA didn't do anything about Pakistan. This is the major reason they failed.

Ironically in 80s CIA created Taliban to defeat commies now same Taliban defeated them. It has come full circle.

Pakis are enjoying this as a win. In reality they have made things worse. Their dream of central asian trade via Afghanistan will suffer. They also have an afghan refugee crisis looming. Islamic fundamentalism will increase in Pakistan. A stable prosperous neighborhood would've brought peace and economic opportunity for pakis but pakis being pakis they chose terror and instability.

Now its time for India to increase border protection and strengthen counter insurgency unites. Terrorism is going to make a strong return in various parts of the world including India.
I sometimes wonder, why on earth did the US not go after the main brain behind Taliban actions against them i.e. ISI/PA. Were they so powerful that even the Americans didn't want to engage/annihilate these perpetrators/root cause of terrorism in the region?!
