Americans had enough chances to Punish Pakistan from 31-12-2014 to 15-08-2021, Moment US Troops Surge ended in 2013, supply lines from Pakistan were no longer required, equipment and logistics, But still Americans chose not to punish Pakistan? The million dollar question is why? Trump at least got Pakistan into FATF but other presidents chose other wise.
The first three years were partially due to Obama's idealism of being friends with everyone. As for Trump, he initially went in wanting to denuclearize Pakistan. As for why he didn't commit, no one knows. But i'm guessing that is due to saudi influence (economically arabs don't give a fuck about Pakistan, btu militarily and ideologically, it's a good breeding ground for the wahabi elite to create jihadists and they want their nuclear weapons stockpile). Also even though US didn't need Pakistan, they probably made it easier.

The timing of Pew Research report which claims more than 90% Afghans want Sharia gives a perfect ruse for Uncle Sam to point at.

Suddenly, the narrative has changed from 'Why is America leaving' to 'Hey, Afghans want Sharia... let them be'.

Excellent timing. American establishment certainly knows how to set the narrative even when caught on the losing side.
Why do Americans want a stable Afghanistan to start with? These sand people never have the ability to `GOVERN` without bringing hard rules like Sharia and all. They know that only the fear of death or extreme loss is the only thing that will keep the sand people society moving or atleast keep them monkeys in control.
It took decades for UAE and other emirates to slowly wake their population upto the modern times and still it was a major major disbelief for many when Saudi allowed women to drive.
This is the society America or any nation will be dealing with when trying to bring stability to the region.

Why am I getting the vibes that Pakis fate sealed now and they will be on disintegration path hereafter? Anyone else feeling the same?
I feel Pakis bit way more than they can chew this time.
Only Army is holding the country from disintegrating.

Pakistan not less than Taliban, many faultlines exists, mostly ethnic in nature.

It's modern time now, not acient time. Middle kingdon is as obsurd as American think they are from city on a hill.
"Yankee's shit doesnt smell", according to so called "US exceptionalism."

Let them stew in their own juices.

Well the Russian are the Cockiest one, they stayed back. Wonder what they must be saying seeing the Americans running like that. Must be great satisfaction, note that many veterans of soviet afghan war are still alive.
You mean on Russia's side or Taliban side? And now both sides have to shake hands. 😅 Also many vets of Soviet afghan war who fought for russia turned against russia during Chechnya. Lesson for them and us.
Can you blame them. I'm glad we did not ditch old ally like Russia by pivoting fully to US camp. There may have been ups and down, but at least they don't run like Uncle Sam🤣😂
Agree with the US part, but I dont think Russia finds the current situation in its favor. Yes, putin is a great statesman and has fought and won from weak positions many times, I will give you that. But I dont see what advantages russia or any country can get by allying with taliban, only minimizing damages. That too until time runs out. Also about allyship with Russia, am sure Russia benefited as much as we did, god knows how many dying production lines we revived. But the only few losses of that allyship were on our side. As you know, no permanent friends. Case in point, both Russian and India supported Northern Alliance to stop taliban advances, now both will shake hands with taliban.

It will never be possible as long as the CCP, KMT nonsense exists. But if Han Nationalism becomes the dominant ideology and replaces Communism, then I'm pretty sure India and China could be very close allies.
I don't like iskcon they seem to be founded upon western principles
But
ISKCON should be funded by R&AW

Pakis claim rhey have Afghanistan under control?

Then why every day their border posts are attacked? Who is attacking Paki army with IED in Balochistan? Who is warning Punjabi Army against any hanky panky on Pasthuns?

This is a cluster fuck of Greenest Muslims than Greener Muslims, Afghans who consider themselves superior than Paki Punjabis martially, ethno nationalists, China bidders, Shia kuffars, Hazara kuffars.

My bet is on the Greenest Muslim to win.

On April 13, there were ~3500 US troops in Afghanistan.

Aug 16, Biden says ~7K US troops will be sent *for evacuation*.

This is much more complex than 56-D chess.

Can anyone please do some analysis, are 7k troops required for evacuation? That too US troops with top notch training and equipment.
What are they securing? A whole city?

Wrong , it's not Taliban they are people who were desperate to leave so they had to use Apache to clear the runway.
Yes, and then their media acknowledged Americans fored and killed two 'armed' persons in the airport. Maybe some fringe elements joined the charade.
