Wish and desperation are two different words. We wished we could be but didnt happen, no big deal. You have limited players at this stage and its not yet so crowded for shortage of space.
Please mention. I am very interested as to what US gave us back home.
US never wanted more players in the table apart from herself and Pakistan. Pak brought China and China brought Russia. From the bigening, US had limited expectations from India and high hopes from Pakistan, and here saying Pak did very little has a deeper meaning with reference to US. US didnt kick us out of Afghan peace talks, Pak didnt allow it in the first place and it was pre condition from you. If they were so hurt by our actions in Afghanistan, they could have kicked us out of that place let alone peace talks.
Ghani actually begined as an anti Indian but later turned pro. Karzai was the starting point. And about the game? Taliban of 1990 is not the Taliban of 2019-20. They will leverage all. India can do much more for them after the peace talks are over. The political equation is not as linear as Pakistan thinks.
USA asked India to send troops in Afghanistan... we denied...
We are not getting AMERICAN WEAPONS as grant or aid... we are paying for them... we are not bound to fight their war... all these agreements are AMENDED as India was not ready to sign them without ENSURING the security of INDIAN INTERESTS...
USA is HELPING India to counter China... the day it feel that it is not happening... things will change drastically...
Indo-Russia and China-Pakistan... are the real example of STRATEGIC ALLY...
Look at your economy... it is a result of FEEDING AND FUELING EXTREMISM in your own house and backyard... and that's too for USA...
Repetition of old Indian stories & excuse from not getting on the point. India can't do anything for Taliban especially since, India supported ISIS to get rid of them and got many hits in return. Do you remember who took down Aslam Achoo and many more inside Afghanistan and yet, who was hiring ISIS to attack Pakistan Embassy in Kabul? The game is more deep than your statements of ZeeNews at all. Bollywood can paint all India Supremacy poster but the reality is different outside India.
Speaking of peace talks, learn how Taliban denied including talks with Afghanistan puppet regime who was more of Indian friend. US didn't kick India out of place as India has already seen it coming and will do so by their own especially after success of Peace Talks. Delhi knows that the status will return to Post Afghan war with USSR.
You guys can simply be satisfied with whatever being told and keep on with same statements but there is no fruits or advancement of progress while sticking to falsified logic. India will, India can, India would, India should have, India may be etc etc are just fairy tales.
Speaking of extremism, well there is no better example of Extremism as compare to India's condition for minorities & low caste. So instead of looking & trying to find faults in others; India would have done better if ever stick to problems at home. Naxals, Assaam, Dalit, Minorities lynched, Hindutva Extremism, RSS Nazi style nationalism, supporting LTTE against Sri-Lanka, mukti bahini, feeding BLA, hosting Aslam Achoo, supporting Altaf Hussain, Kalbhushan etc etc are all breed from within India. Not to mention that Indian Media is called world fake news factory at best.
