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 ?
He was in American custody (in Afghanistan)

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.

Yes. Since the day Obama came up with Good Taliban Bad Taliban theory, the writing was in the wall.

Too many memes, lingo, lame jokes, low quality posts including tweet links which do not work in many regions.

Take off if you can not articulate your thoughts.

The situation is full of multiple variables. Many members have gone into so many scenarios that it can take weeks to decipher each of them.

Let the things settle down for few months. Till then focus on updates. No need to get demerit points on something which is still not clear.

Well,

Europeans realise they need a land to host the fleeing jihad's .They had a trailer during syria crisis and they need a watering hole to keep these cave dwellers away. cream la cream have already flown out and those on ground are most probably those who are trying to make use of situation for better life some where keeping 72 hoors dreams intact. They know that support is better in socialist europe than capitalist America ....

Most probably, Porkis will host these in return for dollars which they badly need to shore up. It;s bussiness time.

One off thing this time is that Angela merkel is silent like a dead monkey...during syrian crisis she was very vocal on hooman right.. may be she saw the trailer in october fest when chuslims went on rampage raping girls !!!!!!!!!

Ram Madhav says in the article that Afghans loved Ghani's government.. This is false.. Ghani was out of touch and corrupt.. But, ultimately it does not matter what the Afghans want. It is the outside powers that decide who gains or loses power in Afghanistan..
Also, I don't share his hope for the Panjshir Valley. In a few days, we might see Amrullah packing his bags from Panjshir.. He seems pretty downbeat in his latest tweet

Talibs have blocked humanitarian access to Panjshir, do racial profile of travelers, use military age men of Panjhsir as mine clearance tools walking them on mine fields, have shut phone, electricity & not allow medicine either. People can only carry small amount of cash. 1/2

Latest reports suggest the resistance has spread to near by provinces and resistance is gaining momentum.

Taliban are regrouping after the setbacks and taliban from other provinces are arriving to Panjshir.

NRF has the support of its traditional strong holds which are Tajik and Uzbek ethnic majority regions. If the NRF can hold the Panjshir (I think they can) for 1 more month. Winter sets in and they will have time to gather resources and ammunition.

Latest news is that Pakistani special forces are also involved on the taliban side who received repeated setbacks by the Panjshir resistance.

The question is .. What does India want..

1. Does it want influence in Afghanistan on the back of Northern alliance.. ?
This has worked for a good amount of time.But, this alienates the Pashtuns..

2. Does India want to destabilize and ultimately break up Pakistan.. more?
If India wants this, then there is no other way than betting on the Pashtuns, a majoriry of whom live on the Pakistani side of the Durand Line.. But, having more influence on the Pashtuns, than Pakistan is almost impossible.. And since Gilgit is not with India, we also do not share a border with Pashtuns, which makes influencing Pashtuns to the detriment of Pakistan, so much more difficult..

Until Panjshir resistance creates stable supply lines to Central Asia, by capturing territory from the Taliban, their future is bleak

Close to 1 Lakh people live in Panjshir, they grow their own crops and self sustain themselves for months. Tajiks can air supply then the essentials if needed. Winter provides them the opportunity if they are short of supplies.
