1. Afghan resistance is certainly legendary. Afghans did defeated the British on their own.
2. USSR was defeated by joined efforts of Pakistan, USA, and Afghanistan. But then, USSR was already in bad shape during 1980s.
3. Taliban survives because of being an ideology. It will stay as long as Pashtun populace exists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. And USA is not interested in eliminating Taliban. US strategy is to rebuild Afghanistan so that this country shuns militancy and comes back in shape.
Good point. However, Saudi are not battle-hardened.
Okay.
Most Battle hardened/Man Power = Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt
Most Technologically advanced = Turkey
Most Fuel supplies = Saudi Arabia and Iran
