Talib junior: Sir, we have captured a Mi24 Helicopter

Talib senior: Excellent, we can use it to kill the infidels

Talib junior: good plan saaaar, but we are idiots and can't fly an aircraft

Talib senior: I have another plan, does the helicopter have the 57mm rocket launchers??

Talib junior: Sir?

Talib senior: can you drive a Toyota???

Talib junior: easily, since we don't have the roads, I learnt it pretty quickly

Talib senior: ......slaps head and kicks junior in the crotch..... Then What are you waiting for you ibleez idiot

No support coming in from Iran, Russia or other neighbours for Northern Alliance in Panjshir.

Rumours abound, EU(France & Germany) may chip in with support for Northern Alliance with some support from UK too. If that happens, it will definitely make this a very very interesting contest.

Russia is fully in support of the talibs. The way Russia has hurt India's interests directly, we need to be very careful how we handle them in future.

With russia in the talib circle along with iran, there is no direct access to Afghanistan anymore. Unless the Uzbeks and Tajiks decide to defy putin.

Russia has been China's lieutenant for almost a decade now. New Delhi knows it but actually does not know how to handle it. US is untrustworthy, cannot go to the other side of the spectrum all across. The only hope is better bilateral ties with countries like Japan, Britain, Australia, France etc.

Australia and France possibly. Japan and Britain will never be in our corner if it meant crossing the US. Both of them are probably the closest allies of the US.

They might need to rethink their strategy soon given the high level of isolationist and anti-war sentiments in both the Reps and Dems. You don't want your attack dog to be vegetarian.

Uzbeks and Tajiks wont go full monty in supporting Northern alliance but they have complusion to help help them due to ethnic reasons. Russia is openly siding with Taliban for now but in case tide is turned against taliban they can backdoor to NA through those countries. Putin is victorious in both the scenarios.
We should also act selfish and try to secure our interests without caring for what others are suggesting or doing.

And how are the EU/ Uk going to provide that material support to Northern alliance.. without any NATO base around Afghanistan..
Also, US has no reason to support the Northern alliance.. The Northern alliance dominating the north will work very well for Russia. WHY would US want to make life easier for Russia, when it was Russia supporting the Taliban..

The most the Panjshir Guys can do now is to capture some territory around Panjshir.. Almost all Afghan territory and border crossings will be in the hands of the Taliban.. India should rather ping Taliban factions with close ties to TTP, and develop a relationship with them.. Let Northern Afghanistan be russia's to worry..
