Oh wow! Cool your radiator! People like you who can't get an argument going as they don't know what the heck they're talking about, usually end up as fools. Your riposte is offensive to say the least in tone and tenor. You my friend require some polishing up in your mannerisms. It's quite disgusting! Your nonsensical and specious arguments deserve to be treated with the contempt they deserve!You Indian people must have a lot of gas in you brain , we are not foolish enough to move our weapons into Afghanistan as part of some fantasy about strategic depth , this oft repeated story about 'strategic depth' and how we will move weapons into Afghanistan in case of war with India is a LOAD OF DIRTY STINKING CRAP!!!
Do this not and we will stick the boot up your and the ones that you are courting to destabilize Pakistan.
This whole 'strategic depth’ nonsense a just a load of crap.
Now look here. Let me educate you on what this so called hare brained doctrine of ‘Strategic Depth’ is all about.
This is from Rizwan Hussain's book, Pakistan and the emergence of Islamic militancy in Afghanistan (Page 172) on what were the central tenets of Aslam Beg's "Strategic Doctrine", which I'm sure you haven't read because you've been shooting from your hip without understanding the concept. So here is an extract:
• The concept of strategic depth was first articulated by army chief General Mirza Aslam Beg. This doctrine stressed the need for a dispersal of Pakistan's military personnel and assets in Afghanistan well beyond the offensive capabilities of the Indian military. Pakistan's geographical width was considered inadequate for a prolonged defence against India. In this context, post-Soviet Afghanistan was considered an ideal choice for Pakistan to gain strategic depth.
• To support secessionist movements in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir and provide safe havens and training areas to them in Afghanistan. (Zia's strategy of 'bleeding India with a thousand cuts').
• To gain access to Central Asia in order to open that region for Pakistani economic penetration. Moreover, Pakistan could serve as the "gateway" to landlocked Central Asia for investment from the United States and other industrialised states. In this regard, a Pakistani controlled Afghanistan would enhance Pakistan's geostrategic importance for United States.
• To continue to pursue a strategy of nuclear ambivalence.
• To enhance the existing strategic and military to military relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC).
So there. Go get yourself an education instead of trashing everything that doesn't fit your level of ignorance. And, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! By the way, this is just the outline of the doctrine. The devil is in the detail which will run into pages.
So cool off and don't get red. It's bad for blood pressure that could result in a malfunction of not only your brain cells but even result in a heart attack!
And oh yes. You said, "strategic depth is a LOAD OF DIRTY STINKING CRAP!!!" Go tell this to your retired General Aslam Beg who propounded this doctrine. Let's see what he says to you.....Hmmmm...I don't even want to know! Jeeez!
