Do you think , US MIC is so weak that it cannot take away Talibani leadership roaming the streets of kabul, or lived in doha or hidden in Quetta. Its all planned and controlled by uncle sam.
Give me a single justification for not taking any action against Pakistan after OBL was killed there. Your greatest enemy is found near an army base of your major non nato ally n u do nothing. Haha nice joke I would say. Milke hum sabko pagal bana rahe the ,hai aur rahenge. Paki has no aukat to cross US establishment. MIC works on perpetuating war over decades. If there's peace, then no weapons sale , no money. This pattern is emulated in all regions. Be it the Taliban , Pakistan, Iran, Russia, ISIS threat. Paki ISI did what they were told to do. Keeping alive the Taliban movement. Now same people will keep alive the resistance. This is how the cycle of MIC works. Do not , I warn Do Not underestimate Uncle Sam.

You think so? Why would the West be concerned about India when India does not constitute a security threat to the West or the world?

The West does not feel threatened by India. In all my conversations with people from Europe and North America I have never heard such a concern voiced. The West does feel threatened by Islam and Islamic states because of the violence committed by Muslims. Apart from the very occasional act of terrorism by members of the extreme right in Europe, Muslims have a monopoly in acts of terrorism.

During the cold war (not sure about the entire west but most of them follow US. Except France) US considered India as an ally of the USSR. All the hostilities towards India was not because of some unending love for the pakistanis but to prevent India from becoming a "threat". A lot of the trade in the Indian Ocean happens a stone throw away from India.
Its is possible the US didnt do anything about the pakistani nuclear project for the same reason.

It is also possible that the west consider India as a threat in the long term. I just hope Indian establishment consideres that possibility too but usually you don't see that much foresight in the Indian establishment.

Rest of them toe the same line pretty much due to their economic and military dependence- EU, Brits, Canada, Australia

Economic dependence on US: Canada yes. EU No.
EU GDP 2019 - $16.2 trillion
US GDP 2019 - $21.4 trillion

using current exchange rate 1 euro = $1.17

U.S. GDP 1990-2019 | Statista

What is the GDP of the U.S.? This statistic shows the GDP of the United States from 1990 to 2019. The U.S. GDP increased to about 20 trillion U.S. dollars in 2019. Currently, the United States is ranked first in the world GDP ranking.

IDK why these guys are allowing them to surrender and live to create problem some other day. A good Talibunny is a Dead Talibunny and they should all be shot at point blank range.

350~380 Billion USD trade annually. In 2020, the United States was the largest partner for EU exports of goods (18.3 %) and the second-largest partner for EU imports of goods (11.8 %).

I would call this as pretty dependent-

Just notice 2 taliban spokesperson it's looking like hostages giving press conference.
Their guards(porki army) are looking more confident than them.
Their whole family living in porkistan has been taken as hostage by porki army .
Porki will pay back their sins.
That why biden has not phoned imrand till now

A net total deficit of ~130b USD in favor of EU.
But this is off-topic for this thread now

So the surrendered Talibans are porks no matter porks surrender everywhere they go! Hence they're Pakistanis NA should execute them openly so that ISI and pindi boys gets pinched and humiliated

Not a good idea. If NA starts behaving like Taliban outside countries may meet internal resistance to supporting NA. In my opinion it is better if Taliban are seen as a bunch of murderous savages and NA in contrast are seen as the good guys.

Taliban needs every year around 15-18 billion $ to run
It's country

How taliban collect taxes
It's never Been a organized structure

If west financially sanctions Taliban which
Likely as Western media is running anti Talibani stories and Oped.

The Internal collapse is imminent

If Saleh gets funding from let's say india or Western nations around 100 million $
He will start buying people
And warlords into his folds

This is getting interesting everyday

Here this is what I m talking about
To run country of 40 million you need

And recognition from international monetary institutions like IMF or world bank

Soon there cash will dry

Pressure mounts on Taliban to govern, pay salaries

Afghans who have reconciled with the new reality of living under the Taliban rule are hoping that the new bureaucracy will be set up soon so their day to day needs are met.
