Biden WH couldn’t have stuck to trump’s may 1st deadline because they still haven’t finished their political appointments even as of today.

US is not like UK or India where there is a permanent bureaucracy, everytime a new president comes to office he has to make atleast 1500 new appointments in many departments.
only secretary of defense would have mattered for this particular situation though. The military could have handled the whole thing.

Even if what you say is true though, he deliberately moved it back to September 11th for emotional reasons, because he wanted the attention and symbolism to distract from the fact that this was initiated by Trump. Only after it turned into a disaster, is he back to blaming Trump.

what would had happened if things were cleared on 1 may 2021
i guess same as of now
or i am missing something
Talibs got pissed that the withdrawal date was pushed back four months, so they started attacking afghan security forces and taking cities after May 1st instead of respecting the power-sharing agreement that they made in Doha. ISI provided logistics and etc along the way. If he had stuck to the May 1st deadline, there would probably be some semblance of the secular Afghan government still around.

i am proud of my Country to see how much work it did in Afghanistan :):)

we rightly said in UN podium that we build trust in Afghanistan by aiding school, hospital, power grid, parliament, dams and here porkis build terrorist sanctuaries

below are some beautiful things India did for Afghani people.....

Looks like this circus at the airport might go on for longer than it took TB to Flip all the provinces 😐.
NEW: The US military has flown at least 500 Embassy personnel out of Afghanistan on military aircraft, defense officials tell @ckubeNBC.
They're working to take 5,000/day, but won’t have that capability for a couple days.

A second IAF C17 had landed in Kabul

The 1st landed back in India a few hours ago,unlike evacuations of Yemen and Iraq not any coverage of this, found one repot saying the 200 member Indian mission included 100 or so ITBP personnel

in the Yemen evac there were tv cameras filming the return and interviewing the returnees but this time the flights are taking off and landing with 0 focus, not even a govt official tweeting.

Makes me wonder why the secrecy and who is being flown back? Too tin foil hat to wonder if they are R&AW officials and possibly even Afghan ‘assets’?

Yessss ..finally we will witness war fellas...buckle up ...it's fucking nuke time ...
I have never seen a nuclear war ..wish to see one in which we blow the fuck out of porkies ..
I think both Indian and Pak BMDs can cancel out each other's nukes, after which India wins conventional war.

The real problem are Chinese after nuclear stockpile wears out. They're free to intervene then.

Pakistan is a size of UP and by conventional standards we have 150 nukes(I guessing them to be more) , so after Pakistan we will have a good stockpile for China ...

Hopefully, the key is restraint. If Pak BMD is too much, and nothing is hitting, don't waste entire stockpile. Chinks are reasonable unlike inbred Jihadis and won't intervene if there is a risk that an Indian nuke might slip past their BMD and hit Shanghai or something.

Why does China need to hit?
After the nuclear war between India and Pakistan, the whole world will move to together to de-nuclearize both. No, the world doesn't need to shoot a single warhead. All they need to do is forcing both to give up the nuclear weapon program for aid.

Sanctions and stripping of trade precisely! Foreign aid isn't something that requisite or big in amount.

Taliban is more interested in Waziristan and they can support TTP in Baluchistan. Now their hunger for power will increase more. Pakistan is sitting on a bomb now.
my analysis after watching the events unfold.it is a facade that taliban have fissures . they are totally under isi. this was confirmed after taliban in kabul visited the gurdwara it implies support of taliban for khalistan. why would taliban do it if it is not under isi. it seems the next attack taliban and AQ is planning is in india. so it would be in india interest to to think unconventionally. no conventions would be broken if sidesteps certain self imposed constraint as those constraints are not applicable for terrorist and i am not talking nuclear.

Here comes the joker again

The world will move together to de nuclearize both :pound:

Trying to bat ( oops ) for the porkies are we

No one except china and their lackeys will move an inch to de nuclearise India for the simple reason that they wont and none except for chinks equates porkis with India , porkies yeah sure , none except for chinks will hesitate because of the simple reason that chinks armed them with nukes in the first place and no one likes a country of jihadis running around with nukes . It will be ironical thought if a jihadi nuke were to end up somewhere in china dont u think . Deserving i must say

Regarding the news of Russia and China bravely choosing to stay in Afghanistan, and not organising an evacuation of their citizens - I'm thinking is is just possible that they are not doing it simple because they can't? I mean since yesterday commercial flights have stopped and US forces have taken over Kabul airport, we have since seen 10's of US, European and Indian military transports conducting ops. But I have not come across any news of Chinese or Russian aircraft landing (folks following FlightRadar24 etc correct me if I am wrong), this would have been the perfect opportunity for the PLA to show off their brand new Y-20s with wolf warrior special forces. Instead we are seeing US deploy forces, tankers, transports from bases near and far (10,000km+ away), but nothing from Chinese side whose border is only a few hundred km away?
As early as July 10, we have transported 210 Chinese citizens back to China by passenger plane
