So far the Taliban have said to Pakistan: a) we will do nothing about TTP b) we do not respect the Durand line. With “friends” like these...

o_O' Has China forgotten who they are? They call themselves communists but are they really? The sole political party in China is the Communist Party of China (CPC), which is supposed to be the vanguard of the working- and pheasant-class and hence must protest their interests. Yet, this 996...

Interesting. Iran hosted Taliban factions within its borders for years and was a key regional power that pushed the US out of Afghanistan. Perhaps they want Shia representation in the government. Still, even China and Pakistan said they wanted an inclusive government without explaining what this...

Destroying equipment and material so it doesn't fall into the hands of the enemy is standard practice. It's probably the only same thing the US has done during the evacuation. Thinking that the US committed some kind of war crimes for doing so is simply gasping at straws.

Everything will be tolerated as long as it's Shariah-compliant. Hope what you say is true, but most countries are going to take a look and see approach to the Taliban.

No. The US has no obligation to do anything in Afghanistan. Let China and it’s buddy, Pakistan, foot the bill.

Some are. Especially the hyper nationalists and Hindu fanatics. Most sane, rational Indians, however, saw the writing on the wall. There is always risks with any investment, of course. That’s okay. India can afford it. The question is: can Pakistan afford the risk that is Afghanistan? That is...

Interesting, I wonder if though he would win the primary. In the beginning, Biden looked like he had no chance. Elizabeth Warren was leading for a while but scared a lot of people away with her socialist ideas. Nobody wanted Bernie Sanders either. Biden became the safe choice. Remember the whole...

It's a narrow-body aircraft, comparable to 320 and 737. I assure you, this state support is going to be an issue going forward. It was a problem for Airbus and Boeing. This well could be a trade issue, but we shall see. Final thought, don't expect overnight success. Usually, the first...

It's a goodwill gesture that costs Pakistan nothing. Remember, it will need to maintain good relations with the West in the future, both for itself and long-term peace in Afghanistan. That they asked Pakistan, in the first place, is something. Small steps, people, small steps...

The Taliban will need all this equipment just as a starting point for a new Afghan military. People are talking about JF-17s, tanks, etc, are being absurd. Taliban don't have the funds for that. Plus, a police force needs to be established, as well. \ As for maintenance and part supply...

According to this report: https://sgp.fas.org/crs/row/R45122.pdf The US has spent about $144 billion in Afghanistan, including governance, development, aid, and security.

The US was subsidizing Afghan government with billions of dollars. Where is Pakistan going to get billions to help the Taliban?

Because it’s not his job to deal with Indian media, or any media, only governments. Because the government has failed to make the investment in viable public education, forcing parents to take matters in their own hands. The rich will send their children to private schools while the poor must...

It's going to be an interesting mid-term election. It's going to be an interesting 2024 election as well.

Exactly. Pakistan is receiving its just desserts regarding these refugees: support the Taliban, but then hate on the same people, call them names, etc.

WHO hasn't made a formal request to investigate the labs, and the US is not going to do so at China’s insistence. All this is just for investigating a lab? And does China have an endless amount of cash to spend on weapons? Delusional thinking.

And now they must rule. Easier said than done.

Don‘t waste your time convincing Pakistanis, they are too busy enjoying their high. But once the high wears off… Because they have the guns. It’s not like they won an election.:what:

Obviously... You post an old article, but in reality, such bonhomie between India and Pakistan does not exist. Not since Modi came to power and revoking of articles 350 and 35A. Any idea to proceed with TAPI in the current environment would be a foolhardy one. They can continue to build and...
