US to rely on India if Afghan supply route is not opened: official

[Secur]

Not for us

[naughty boy]

americans should dig a tunnel from india into afghanistan.

 

[Emmie]

I think they mean using Iran-India relations, otherwise I don't find any logic..

Now i expect some to shout, 'Hum ye kar denge, hum wo kar denge.'

Take it easy lad... We have no issue if they get their supplies from other sources. I know you'll be happy to help them..

 

[OrionHunter]

what Indian Network.. Unless they mean India via Iran ..

Proposed route: India-Australia-The Antarctic-South Africa-Iraq-Afghanistan!!

Or, probably build a flyover from India across Pakistan into Afghanistan!

Duh!

 

[Nakki Nair]

Why cant the Americans airlift the supplies using some really high flying planes? Oh come on! Pakistan would know of such a thing if they used their stealth tech. Use a couple of Nighthawks and drop your supplies without involving India in this mess. Be a Man!

Guys how stupid are we and our leaders. Afghanistan is in our neighbourhood. All the countries in the neighbourhood that is China India Pakistan Iran Russia etc have an interest in a peaceful and prosperous Afghanistan. We allow an interloper from thousands of miles to tell us what's good for us?? The only reason Americans are interested is so they can get involved in various pipelines so their corporations can skim profits for their people. Americans want bases to keep an eye on some of the countries. Why Why Why does India or any of us accept or even contemplate what Americans want?? Especially when the Americans have finally accepted that the status quo where they keep so many soldiers in Afghanistan is unsustainable long term.

Remember we have to live here and American's dont

Wow.
The first sensible post I have seen from Mr Premium.
I agree with most of the part but that's where Pakistan and it's quest for strategic depth in Afghanistan spoil the party

Or just use the Stargate.

Although I hear the photon torpedoes lose potency when they travel through the Stargate.

Try telling that to your government and the ISI for a change.
We have to live beside each other but still, things go up in Mumbai and our planes get high-jacked. But hey, we arent complaining.
"We allow an interloper from thousands of miles to tell us what's good for us?" ?? HAHAHAHAHA. Ask your government this. Oh well obviously, they dont even care about their own citizens. How could they care about the neighbourhood?

Take your jokes and dump them elsewhere boy. Nobody here is interested.

Yaar photon torpedoes are Star Trek. But Stargate is a possibility but why would Americans need India?? they could put one in America and one in Afghanistan. With India they would be wasting a Stargate gate

Ok now we know why we need White man in area lol. And as far as your govt looking after the majority of Indians:

The latest statistics from US Department of Homeland Security shows that the numbers of Indian illegal migrants jumped 125% since 2000! Ever wondered why Indians migrate to another countries but no one comes to India for a living. If you want me to go into reasons why all Indians want to leave India I could start another thread as we would be going of topic. But my point is don't throw stones when you live in a glass house

Or Indians several consulates and the idea of encircling Pakistan would have to go in the bin as well lol. Its all about perceptions

Pakistan isn't much better in that aspect...
The only reason the number of Pakistani migrants is not as high is that an average pakistani doesn't even have enough money to arrange for a ticket....
I am truly sorry if I hurt the sentiments of any other pakistani member at PDF, this post was purely aimed at the comment by Aryan B

on the topic, it is pretty stupid of the Americans to rely on India for supplies to Afghanistan....

 

[Black Widow]

No, India cannot make it to Afghanistan. Iran won't help US. China won't help US. Pakistan won't help US. And India doesn't share a border with countries that can ship supply's to Afghanistan withouth getting in Iran's, Pakistan's, and Afghanistan's face. So the only choice is Tajikistan. But India doesn't share a border with that country either. So how will India....??

There is a possibility. Currently the supply is shippment is going like this
Karachi (Ship)----> Afghanistan (Road almost 1000 miles)

In change scenario
Gujrat (ship) -------> 300-400 miles in rajsthan (road/railroad) -----> Afghanistan (300-400 miles airlift).

issues
a) cost escalation: it can be dealt with decreasing the size of presence in Afghanistan.
b) Use of Air-route over Pakistan: Paksitan has never denied it, even in worst relation there drones were operational.

benefits
a) USA will not be dependent on Pakistan.
b) Pakistani govt will bail-out. Today Fundamentalists are targeting Pakistan coz Pakistan help USA. Once Indian route will be chosen Pakistani govt can save there A$$.
c) USA can access better road-railroad facility in India, so there goods will be delivered on time.
d) USA containers will not be targeted/torched by Fundamentalist.
