Afghans in Pakistan fear return home

China has $3 billion investment in Afghanistan and they too fear spillover of Afghan war into Xinjiang because of affiliations of Uyghurs extremists with Al-Qaida.

Investment won't matter its the support for groups within China which will matter. China also won't like Indian influence in Afghanistan so you never know.
 
" The city was captured on November 12 by Northern Alliance forces as well as Special Forces of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Islamic Republic of Iran. " from wiki -

USA and UK won't be there. Iran will provide support but not directly
.

Even in the past iran never supported northern alliance directly..

You are misinformed, because it did. Read about Iranian support (ammunition, etc) during the '90s.
 
Correct.



No better actor in the region that is capable of setting up professional proxies than Iran.

You do realize that Pakistan and Saudia might be hoping to keep you busy forever in Afghanistan :P

Grave yard of empires? no wonder alexander,iranians,central asians etc conquered it and took afghan wives!

Also for Pak soldier 20 talicnts are killed.

You can defeat and kill afghans in war, you might rule over them but you cant conquer them, you are conquered when you are subdued completely and accept foriegn rule over you. Afghans always resisted foriegn invasions and occupations, even if it took them decades, their hearts and minds were never conquered by foriegners. Every time in the long run great empires bent their knees in defeat, not afghans.
 
All ISI has to do is give Mullah Omar and company some cash and weapons and all these jokers will be on the forum two years from now crying about it. :lol:
 
The wise and senior folk among you punjabis do not dream of annexing Afghanistan. Many pakistanis are calling FATA shythole and are talking about giving it up to Afghanistan....

Nahin yaaar FATA is our land & the people therein are our people ! And besides my utility for Afghanistan is going to be that of a large landfill site to dump all our sh*t in ! :agree:

You are a funny chap...
 
Direct involvement = troops on ground.

That is not how Iran works. Iran tries to gain influence by controlling and supporting influential asymmetrical forces in countries, not by invading them.
 
1) Trying to stabilize Afghanistan, especially the western and northern provinces. Iran wants to create a buffer on its eastern borders.
2) Increase its influence by building infrastructure projects, like roads, railways and energy projects.
3) Try to give India some influence in Afghanistan.
4) Support the Northern Alliance and other pro-Iran forces.
5) Increase its cultural influence through schools and centers.

I would prefer People leave the poor afghans alone and let them decide their own future. I believe that will bring more stability to the region then all neighboring countries putting fingers in afghan butt. Iran will create a buffer zone(creating more enemies in Afghanistan) pakistan will create a buffer zone (creating more enemies in Afghanistan) Russia will create a buffer zone who will help the Afghans create a better Afghanistan?
