Ok

Infact, GDP growth figures are always inflation adjusted.

The best support we can do to ANA is giving Air support , Move a Sqn of Su30mki to Ayni and start doing those dumb bomb drops on these goaties . Lets also test our air power plans in real action .

india should do nothing atleast not in the open
Covert support should be given
It's not our fight
Like Jaishankar said

"Whoever rules Afghanistan There should be end to violence ".

This was just from select areas in Kabul.. 99 percent Afghanistan has always been religious and conservative.. Without local rural support it would have been impossible for the Taliban to grow into the power that they have..

Wesh Border ( or Chaman border as the Pakistanis call it ) is lost to Taliban..
This was one of the major supply routes for US forces in Afghanistan.. The other was Torkham border..
Taliban is strangling Kabul government. of all trade revenue.. Taliban have reopened customs ports in the north, and are collecting hefty revenues..

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.

They're also assassinating pilots, I hear. Quite a sorted group, must say.

May need India's military assistance if peace talks with Taliban fail: Afghan ambassador

"The Afghanistan government, which has ceded vast swathes of territory to the radical Islamic terror group Taliban, is now hoping for India’s military assistance to take on the Taliban which has grown more aggressive since the US withdrawal from the country 20 years after 9/11.

In an interview with NDTV, Afghanistan’s Ambassador to India Farid Mamundzay said they require India’s military assistance if they cannot achieve success in the peace process with the Taliban.

“Should we not get to a stage in the peace process with the Taliban, then maybe a time (will come) where we would be seeking India’s military assistance, more military assistance in the years ahead,” said Farid Mamundzay, Afghanistan’s Ambassador to India in his discussion with NDTV.

However, the Afghan envoy has clarified that the war-torn country is not seeking Indian troops on its soil.

“We are not seeking India’s assistance with sending troops to Afghanistan. Their footprint in Afghanistan to fight our war would not be needed at this stage,” he said. The envoy added that the Afghan Air Force could benefit from Indian assistance, including in matters like pilot training—which he said India was “naturally” a place it would want involvement from.

Afghanistan, which is left alone to fight a resurgent Taliban, hopes that India provides them with military assistance, especially in the form of training to its military personnel, for years to come if talks with the Taliban fail.

India, being a good friend, has helped the Afghan state in both the rehabilitation and reconstruction processes. In addition, India has also provided military assistance to Afghanistan in the past with a supply of our Mi-24V attack helicopters, as well as trained thousands of its military personnel in counter-terrorism operations, military field-craft, intelligence-gathering and information technology, among other fields.

Earlier, the Afghanistan Ambassador to India had raised the prospect of introducing Indian airpower into the equation. On July 10, he had said, “Our assessment is [that] if we have the required air support, Taliban would never be able to capture any district. And just to give you one instance, should we have 15 to 20 Mi-35 helicopters or 30 to 40 Black Hawks, they would not be able to hold ground.”

Interestingly, India maintains an overseas airbase in Tajikistan, located very close to the Afghanistan border. Even though India has not activated its combat air unit at the Fakhor Air Base in Tajikistan, it has used the base to supply assistance to Afghanistan."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thoughts? Sending troops is an absolute NO. Training and assistance seems like a gamble, which we could take. Then again, considering that even the Americans could not train these people after decades, and they just sold all the American equipment in the black market, and instead help the Taliban, spend months and months "on leave", it seems like it would be a wasted effort. We would be spending a lot in exchange for nothing and the Taliban will almost certainly hold a grudge.

Hey Yo

Taliban terrorists on Wednesday claimed that they have successfully gained control over an important trade route linking Pakistan with southern Afghanistan. The Afghan forces had allegedly surrendered the critical transit point in Kandahar province situated next to the Durand Line border with Pakistan, the Chaman-Spin Boldak border crossing.

While no Afghan official has commented over the development, Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesperson in a statement said, “The Mujahideen have captured an important border town called Wesh in Kandahar.”


“With this, the important road between (Spin) Boldak and Chaman and Kandahar customs have come under Mujahideen control,” he added. Pakistani security forces have confirmed the Taliban had taken control of the crossing. They said that the Taliban has taken control of the Afghan side of the Chaman-Spin Boldak border crossing. The Taliban fighters raised their own flag and removed the Afghan flag at the border crossing.

The Chaman border crossing is one of the major international border crossings between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and it is the second most important crossing between the two nations. The crossing links Kandahar with Pakistani ports, and around 900 trucks cross the border through the crossing every day.

The Taliban has been strategically securing all the border check posts to fill their coffers with customs revenue barring its transfer to the Afghan government exchequer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They have seized border crossings with Iran, Tajkistan, Uzbekistan and now Pakistan. It's all but game over now.

Guys, what is your take on different perspective of Taliban being working for US, let's say US and Taliban have a deal that US gets all drugs related businesses going on and in turn Taliban gets Afganistan and Taliban don't attack US interests.

Would this argument hold in light of Afgan government going so much on backfoot like they seem to do nothing even an iota of resistance is not there.

Found an old very disturbing video of an ISIS school in Afghanistan. They are teaching Jihad to students.


It is impossible for outsiders to even comprehend how much brainwashing happens in these places.
