Trump may ask India to send troops to Afghanistan

[LETHALFORCE]

Precisely, Only once INdia secures its borders, especially water sources. India can afford to play rambo. Not now. Going in Afghanistan does not give any benefits to India other than being declared official brown lackey of Americas

Let's both agree to disagree. I understand your views but do not agree. IMO this a golden opportunity.

 

[AnantS]

Yes and we lost that . India is in no way going to gain anything from watching the rest of the world?

No we are conserving our energy for our own fights. Nobody is fighting your wars for you, why should we fight their wars?

Years ago India had a chance to fight china for Tibet but Nehru refused and all the land and water of Tibet are gone. Years from now this will be viewed in a similar context ( repeated blunder?)

there was no American soldier in Tibet .

As Long as USA is there in Afghanistan , Taliban can not win .................they can bomb their Entire villages and Pakis/chinese will be punished too if they try to interfere in Afghanistan .
India can train more Afghani soldiers .......we can send Air-force too ..............but why USA want Indian soldiers on the ground ?

About 100000 Taliban are currently active in Afghanistan that's way more than our Naxal or Kashmir militants yet we can't defeat them, what makes u think that we can win in foreign land.

Too many propaganda news flying around to test Indian media and collective psych.

The recent attack planned by who knows near the India Afghan friendship dam creates a situation for Afghanistan where India can be schemed/tasked to send its troops to protect infrastructure projects in the region.

We can assume that, such attacks will prompt India and Afghanistan to think together to protect strategic assets.

IMO, India should not fall for the BUSINESS MAN TRUMP scheme of USA doing business in Afghanistan by offloading risks to others that include India.
Its an American war and American mess, let them fight it.

India should provide weapons and training to Afghanistan troops.+ create a market for itself and its close allies in Afghanistan for weapons and allied. India should see this as a good opportunity to underline its promises respecting the sovereignty and strength of Afghanistan by not sending troops which can be depicted as "INVASION by Kafirs" by pakistan to score brownie points.

Yes.If we had helped Tibet we would have had a bargaining chip.People here want strategic depth without investment and bargain without having a bargaining chip.

How will we become a power if we cant even spare 2-3k soldiers?How will we be respected if we dont display our power?

We are fighting pak from a new front an opportunity to bring the war inside pak

We will eventually fight them in kashmir why not kill them in their house?

Our airforce isnt at its numerical best at this time.


Our only option is to send boots.

Not only option we can start sending weapons if this take hold . Send artillery cruise missles sams etc it would jump start arms exports

Who said anything about winning?Let US find a way to do so.We will be supporting them and in turn get their support where we want.

Send Aakash regiments or even Brahmos.

We have not signed cluster bomb treaty . Those would be a good start .

India set up "Baloch Operation Cell" against Pakistan

A US deeply entangled with India will be a nightmare for china and pakis.

With russia now leaning towards pak we have no takers

Russia will only lean so much towards Pak.India can actually act as a buffer between US and Russia.

Sir we lack secure Logistics trail. Without secure logistics, Pakis will have upper hand. Forget Iran, Paki ka Ummah ka Chummah & some mujra will entice Iran to backstab India. I have strong feeling even KJ was handed to Pakistan by Iran
