If you want to throw insults we can go at it all day.
You began the insults. But with your memory and reading comprehension at all time lows, I can see that you forget easily.
You are trying to equate Iran-Taliban with India-China border clashes. A band of tribes with no chain of command with these disciplined states.
Isn’t it worse when professional militaries of the two biggest military powers in the world violate their command’s ROE? Then when stripped of weapons continue to fight disrespecting their command?
Don’t answer that. Since you might have a stroke answering a rhetorical question
I said, countries barely have border clashes, and without a doubt for the most part this is true out of the 100+ countries
Yeah the chances of two highly militarized frosty countries being lined up against each other on a map is quiet small especially when one continent is NATO. And the other is North America.
But it happens in South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
, how many have routine clashes and death? Practically all countries work to resolve those issues aside from a few.
See above
Our problem is unlike China-India, We cannot have any meaningful dialogue with bandits. If this happened with Iran-Azerbijian, it is possible to use certain soft power levers and means to resolve these issues, but this is really a pipe dream for the emirate that will likely end up struggling to govern the country let alone the armed groups within it.
This group literally repelled two of the biggest advanced superpower invasions. Soviet Union and USA.
And your solution is to repeat the same thing by doing a buffer zone or playing wack a mole with the Taliban.
Last 20 years Taliban were hiding in bushes, and before 2001 they routinely killed Iranians, farmers and diplomats. We almost went to war with them. If anything Iranian GF were much stronger in 1998. What powerful diplomatic and economic arms do we have? We don't.
Hiding in bushes yet managed to overthrow a US trained and funded government and strike a deal with US in Doha?
Who said anything about the entire border? They’re little than can be done for the whole border. If 4 terrorists wants to walk into they country, they probably can literally walk.
well at least you are showing some common sense.
But the Taliban bandits should not be taking positions 10 meters away from a border fort with ease (which was seen in one of the videos)
Can you show me where on a map this border post is? If it’s at the border than literally everyday they will see each other in close distance. if they traveled 10-20KM into Iran, I will agree that is unacceptable.
For now. I know, that you know in the long term our relations with the Taliban will continue to get worse, and other countries will in fact make it a point to help them against us.
Iran’s Quds Force leader Ghani held the Afghanistan file for decades. Iran has senior Taliban/ Al Queda leadership under house arrest. There are cards to be played outside of firing missiles and rockets at everything.
We are not trying to invade Afghanistan, it is about offering timely support to our border units.
Some of you are. A buffer zone is by international law a violation of another countries sovereign territory.
Buddy, a conscript that cannot even operate their machine gun is not a conscript he is basically a civilian. At bare minimum a conscript is trained on how to use their weapons. Literally bare minimum of the job.
Last I checked 1-2 Iranian conscripts died in a surprise attack. If they all didn’t know how to fire their gun then that outpost would belong to the Taliban. But I get what you are saying.
I have already told you these are the worst performing bunches of the conscript pool according to someone that was there. Which makes sense, the border doesn’t get the best of the best. It’s a waste of talent. No country in the world sends their best to the border to watch the clouds all day.
Thus if you want to teach bad conscripts of the bottom of the class how to be good it will require a lot more training. This is the flaws of a conscript military, it’s not training intensive because most people will never see combat in their life after their service. Look at how Russian conscripts faired in Ukraine when war did happen.
Iran should move to a hybrid conscript and contract military. Conscripts should move back deeper inside Iran and contract soldiers should go to the border. Again this would be a waste of a highly trained contract soldier, but if it floats your boat. *shrug*
However, this won’t stop attacks or even deaths if there is an underlying issue driving these attacks. Not like Taliban is going to say oh wow there are trained Iranian soldiers over there I better stay away.
Personally, they don't give a damn about governance, and would prefer not to be cursed with it. I am willing to bet they would weather any type of fuel embargo we enact on them. They don't feel any obligation towards their civilians or any desire to govern the country into growth.
Well considering they make money (taxes) from being in governance they will care. Even the bigger baboons like ISIS cared about governance.
So unless China is going to airlift gasoline to Afghanistan every week, it will be a brutally tough embargo.
as if they have any leverage or the thousands of fractured maffia's within sepah at the borders ever going to allow that.
