So is German and dutch .Pakistan is a hot cake at this moment but wonder why Blinkin is not coming to Pakistan even after so much of pleading by Pakistanis ..
maybe they are viewing pak from a refugee perspective.

Europeans are probably trying to reuse the turkey formula, where they paid turkey to retain Iraqi and Syrian refugees within turkey.

Maybe from murican point of view, they already airlifted 122000 people from Kabul airport, they already did their part in handling “refugee crisis”. as far as muricana are concerned, Afghanistan chapter in their books is closed for now from a WH perspective.

There is another way of looking at it which is more concerning. Post Afghan debacle Europe knows that it cannot rely on US, so they are now trying to leverage their position with Pakistan to work with Dragon-Bear combo.

Incase this video hasn’t been watched recently, pay attention to every sentence NSA says. video from 2012 or 13. i forgot what was said in this speech until YouTube algorithm decided i need to watch this today.

we forget that muricans were already planning to drawdown their troops from Afghanistan starting 2014, which makes it Obama’s baby not trump’s as Biden tried to blame the other day.

Massive Taliban attacks last night to seize the valley have failed. clashes around Panjshir are still ongoing. The Taliban have cut off telecommunications services (except SALAM) The Taliban government will not be announced today in Kabul.

Coz Blinken is engaging with India at the moment

Yes and that's what Pakis are murmuring and getting concerened.

However Biden administration is very careful not to throw Pakistan under the bus as they are ignoring the question which substantiate pakistan role in Kabul debacle.
They are blaming Afghan government only even after all this humiliation

In my opinion , Yes . Let's suppose if china is successful in stabilizing Afghanistan then you would see OBOR in it's full potential
Europe then has much to gain from this region
Eastern Europe will benifit a lot from this route which is a currently holding EU back.

However China comes with its own baggage of human rights violation and all communism which would be very hard to ignore even for the most liberals
Hard to see the path ahead but US is now relegated to big power from a super power. Now it would need to work very hard to convince the allies.

Which begs the question WTF were we doing not bringing him back here to interrogate when the Afg govt was in power. He was arrested a year back ! Given that Afg govt was friendly to us, would they not have agreed to send him over ? Any info on this ?
