The Taliban’s swift advances raise the dire possibility of a reconstituted extremist caliphate emerging in Kabul and one that is likely to deliver the rebirth of global terror.

And just as the rise of the Daesh in Syria and Iraq led to U.S. re-intervention, a Taliban caliphate in Kabul will likely trigger the same viscous cycle.
US is slowly but steadily retreating from ME and CA and reorienting it's forces towards Asia. Gone after the days where US could have a sizeable presence everywhere.

Now they need to prioritize sectors and unfortunately CA is not one of those sectors.

Infact with US retreat from Afghanistan a chain of events has been set in motion.

Thats why we are now watching Russia conducting War Games at its erstwhile Soviet Union borders

and China hobnobbing with Taliban to pre-empt the ETIM adventure.

The region has been properly de-stabilised by Unkil Sam.

Stretch out, I say stretch out....both your adversaries.

The New York Times that publishes a Sirajuddin Haqqani Op-ed, the same New York Times that consistently badmouths Modi’s India, now turns to Modi’s India with a request to facilitate evacuation of its journalists from Kabul. All the irony that’s fit to print.

Ideally i would have said that we should pound Pakistan on LOC to such a great extent that they are forced to deploy reserves in LOC while we continue to supply ANA.

Now looking at the performance of ANA and the fact that we had to sign a ceasefire with Pakistan as most of our army is tied in LAC against china and the fact that US was pressuring us the only viable option is to fortify our defenses and wait for them.

Supplying ANA is useless as most of the equipment will go in the hands of taliban anyways.
Even better capture some of their posts near LoC. Please point out some adverse or positive effects.

India should allow them to board only if they agree give a written apology.

The fact of the matter is we really can't do much without border connectivity with Afghanistan. There is not even a direct air route. Everything else is just noise IMHO.

Indian bureaucracy is designed to bend over backwards to appease the white man, old habits you see. :scared1:

on a serious note, our MEA babus are professionals when it comes to these sort of things. full courtesy will be extended, if indeed the news is true.

There has been talks within the American intelligence circle since a decade back, for them to refocus their defense asset towards Asia (China) and ignore Middle East/Central Asia.

That seems to be the path forward for the Americans.

Really man, afghanistan is one pathetic place!

Even north koreans look more civilized and worried about self preservation than these idiots

I mean how pathetic one can be if regularly being used by porkis
East Asian culture is vastly different from tribal jihadi culture.

Afghans are best left alone to their tribalistic backward nature (which is what they want)

IMO, not to appease the white man..its more like the founding principals always come to haunt us.
We somehow end up doing the right thing without strings attached.
whereas other nations use every principal as a tactical tool and doesnt give a damn about human rights vis a vis their principals or stands
