Afghanistan- Flexibility, Redundancy Built into its Afghan Supply Lines: US

What the feck are you on about?
I thought my post was very clear and straight forward.
india has been for while especially during nehru era claiming everything

in 1947 two states did annexation with Pakistan, one lasted for over a year state of junagrah and is still shown in Pakistani official maps but india took them by force and did referendum to declare it its part
than in 1970 another country sikkam was digested by india through referrundum
india also digested goa thorugh same strategy
GB was never part of kashmir and was under direct british rule but just before tehy left it was handed over to mah raja which was odd as mah raja and no control waht so ever, GB rifles(british forces) revolted against maha raja and later advanced forward after annexation

intially both india and pakistan never really considered it as part of problem but as we know india habit of claiming everything
 
.
I understand that Pakistan operationally controls GB but I think you are no getting the point that I am making.

Let's say a US flies a transport plane through GB and Pakistan shoots it down.

How many countries would support you when Pakistan claims sovereignty over GB as the basis to take such an action?
Why would they fly through GB. It's a absolutely bonkers idea. Did you know the yanks wanted Balochistan from the British during ww2!

Because

1) Pakistan's legal case is weaker in case of GB than it is for Baluchistan.

2) If GB is cut off, CPEC & Gwadar have no value.

All supply routes to Afghanistan

Routes through Pakistan. Cheapest and fastest. 80% plus supplied through these routes.

There's no route through CIS. Russia has regained it's influence in that region. They might try to woo iran again as early as next week but stupidly they backed riots in iran which had to be suddenly stopped.

Route through Iran is a non starter.

That is what you think. GB will never be part of india no matter how you present it or your ally the yanks.

Pakistani kashmir and GB is Pakistan and no one can Fly anything over it without Pakistan's permission. Pakistan do not need support from any country to defend itself.

If India, who has so called problem can not fly over it (after having support of so many countries) who else will try that?

I am not talking about the support of the people. This is purely a legal issue that I am highlighting.

Pakistani case would be weaker if they did not had elected Gov they have so now it is proved that no one can interfere as people voted with a turn out rate of more than 70%. Legally that is a shutup call to USA and India. If there is an 51% turn out rate then they are legally Pakistan, Pakistani Gov holding elections was not stopped by UN so now they cannot interfere ever.

I think you are again missing the point.

There would not be any war across LOC to capture GB. Only airspace would be used to transport the goods.

It would be upto Pakistan to shoot or not shoot.

I think Pakistan would make noises but would not shoot US transport planes.

India does not dare to fly through GB but US might with agreement in place with India.

US & India already have logistics agreements to use each others bases.

Let that happen. So the yanks will get their goods to India then take it into Himalayan region and cross into afghanistan. It is a good proposal I hope they put it to use.

I think he is thinking of through Chahbahar, by Air to indian port and then by sea chahbahar , Afghanistan. genius Idea to involve India in this supply route, but not possible because India do nto shae border with Afghan and using Iranian port for this is little far fetched.
