India is just as foreign in Afghanistan to the Afghan people as the US is. And if the US & 40+ other NATO nations couldn't bring Afghanistan into control spending $ billions, what chance does India have?
Seems like desperation from the US, marginalized in both Central, South Asia; & the Asia Pacific. It is clearly losing its influence in the region, & seems like desperate measures on their part to hold onto whatever they have. The US is cutting a bitter/frustrated, isolated figure now.
RIP to the dead. Where are the Afghan (NATO fanboys) members that claim the NATO operations have been successful, & the insurgents defeated? This is futile loss of life, & the Karzai puppet government is only making things in Afghanistan worse by serving the interests of the foreign forces...
Is it a coincidence, that now China is 'opening up' to the world, & is having a massive influx of foreigners into the country; we are seeing a larger outcry of "human rights violations" in Tibet and Xinjiang?
