To be honest, those days are gone now. We ourselves do not want a Taliban government. Imagine what will happen to FATA. Back then their leaders would visit our tribal areas, without a Visa ,as if it was their territory. Infact, they still consider FATA as their territory. They don't accept the...
They should focus more on rejuvenating and reforming the ANA, instead of expanding the size ALP. Local police is only effective when you are going after terror cells in urban areas. They lack the proper chain of commander to effectively hold ground.
Iran's views of the Taliban may have changed...
Agreed, the only way talks can be successful is if both sides declare a temporary ceasefire. The US strategy of talk talk fight fight hasnt worked in Afghanistan uptill now , remember the talks in Qatar ? Now a temporary ceasefire isnt hard to achieve. Infact, one of my sources told me that the...
What do average afghans think about the peace process ? If one is following, the recent events its not very hard to conclude that all parties (except pro-indian groups basically the national coalition ) are moving towards talks. However, the talks will be tough. Both parties (taliban and Gov)...
Claims made by MOD have little meaning, since it doesn't even have a head. No defense ministers has been appointed yet. Where did the militants come from, which agency ?. NorthWaziristan, thats been cleared. Khyber agency, that been cleared too?. MOD should be a little more specific, rather than...
Yeah but having a nuke means , you'll never have an actual war , so you'll never get to use these anyway. When was the last time two nuclear states fought a war?. Nuclear deterrence is much cheaper, ask the North Koreans.
Full Spectrum deterrence is a linchpin to our Defensive doctrine. This policy is totally nonnegotiable. Forget the Civil Nuclear deal , there is no prize big enough to sway us from this policy. They might aswell have asked to to roll back our program.
Its now become more difficult for Pakistan to bring them on to the table. Afghans shouldn't expect a miracle from us. The recent debacle in Kunduz has raised their confidence and they will now play hard to get now. The death of mullah Omar was the worst thing that happened to Afghanistan this...
He has done a wonderful job in Balochistan. He has shown the people of Baluchistan a glimmer of hope. Their lives have been normalized. He and CM Abul Malik Baloch have worked harmoniously together and they have finally turned the tides. He is well aware of the R&W designs in the region, would...

2 women fighting in office. First called the second a stupid cow. This was India. Therefore, second got promoted and the first got lynched.
:omghaha:
Pakistan has similar complexes. However, the latest developments in Bunker Buster technology has forced ,both Russia and China to look towards are more clandestine solution. Ballistic missile based on trains in order to make them harder to find than stationary launchers, complicating a...
So far ISIS hasn't lost any ground or any large city. Liberation of these cities is only possible by an invasive ground force backed by an extensive bombing campaign , your basic Blitzrig tactic. Although so far, SAA is not in any position to mount a large scale offensive, like the one in Homs...
So basically, the purpose of this pipeline is to supply the country's industrial hub ( Faisalabad & Sialkot) with the Qatari LNG. Does this mean that the actual flow of LNG to punjab will start from the start of 2018. The infrastructure development going these days is mind boggling. Hope the...
Get your facts straight. It was not Taliban but Al Qaeda who hijacked the plane. When that plane landed in Kabul, India its self talked to Taliban authorities to negotiate a deal with the Hijackers. Taliban negotiated and got your men freed. This goes to show your ignorance.
Charity , So...
:omghaha: Then it wont be long before fox announces that the socialist communist Democrats have also joined the Assad coalition ! Bernie Sander seen leading LGBT activist inside Aleppo. Syrian war, a ploy to impose kyoto protocol on the US. Putin reincarnation of Anti-Christ.
Who are you ,to talk about spreading neo-conolisation. Indian interference in this part of the region was the worst thing that could happed to Afghanistan. Every positive peaceful step taken by Pakistan towards Afghanistan, has always been followed by a plan by india to sabotage that very step...
You are right, until and unless the India-Pakistan proxy war in Afghanistan doesn't stop, peace will be hard to come by in Afghanistan. But this issue is much more deep rooted, the dispute between India and Pakistan is now irreversible. The two countries cant even agree on talks. We could have...
WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama on Thursday said that he will host Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif next week and will urge all parties in the region to press Taliban to return to peace talks.
Announcing US troop extension in Afghanistan, Obama said, “Pressure from Pakistan has...
Yes the message we got , was that Pakistan's Op ZEA has put pressure on Al Qaeda and will discuss the issue of taliban peace talks with pakistan. They have acknowledged our stance and rejected India/Afghanistan's rhetoric of pakistan playing a double game. The message is very clear. Pakistan in...
We can and must help turkey in any way possible.Turkey has always took up our stance on Kashmir. Subsequently we support their case against PKK.
I highly doubt that they want military equipment, cause i think they are much better armed than us .Additionally, unlike GCC they dont want our...
