Questions for those who opposed Afghan Jihad

There was no guarantee but whats the guarantee also not a threat.

In 80s India had best relationship with USSR but it was also not the enemy of US. Why we always have to go into one camp? We are not a small country. With a population of more than 220 million we r a powerful nation

The territories USA captured before they were not all USA allies but as they had no power they ended up getting captured and were made part of USSR, trust me even if we had stayed neutral in this USA vs USSR conflict if Afghanistan would have been captured we would have been next. Specially current KPK and Baluchistan. Reaching warm waters of Arabian Sea was not a chance they would have let go.

And we could have an agreement to provide them route to warm waters ...

We were never a weak country. Anyways its always if and buts. However one reality is for sure, afghan war resulted in terrorisim, drugs and smugling in Pakistan which is bleeding us since last 4 decades. We were very strong before afghan war.

Post Zia we got into the game of turning those proxies towards Kashmir(stellar move again by ISI which was becoming very strong, efficient and a menace for Indians). But then Benazir submitted to U.S pressure "to cut the wings of the ISI". Then the ISI was forced to abandon those proxies languishing in a state of limbo. Musharraf was final nail in coffin for these proxies.

Which backfired as Kashmiris are nothing like religious conservative Afghan pashtuns. Look at example of Malik. He came to Pakistan for militant training and after few years quickly turned to political struggle after he saw Pakistan pushing foreign extremist militants in valley.

I have few questions for those who opposed Zia Ul Haq strategy of starting Afghan Jihad and equipping Mujahideen to fight and destroy USSR.

1. What you think we should have done ??? What would have been your plan and strategy to deal with a Super Power like USSR ???
2. Do you really believe that USSR would have only stayed in Afghanistan and not try to capture parts of Pakistan if it would have not faced resistance and its plans would have succeeded ???

Why then don’t you arm the taliban to fight America the or the jihad against communism was halal while its haram against zionist capitalis USA?!

Should I tell you several books written by USA and western top journalists where they have blamed us for USA defeat in Afghanistan.
