The longest border with us, history, cultural stuff..
Ideally we wanted a friendly govt in Kabul which should withdraw any protection to TTP and perhaps if situation allows the connectivity with central asian nations can become a reality all the way till Gwadar.. That is a goal! Very ambitious goal.. but that's what the thinking is ..
As we know, india heavily invested Chahbahar port in Iran to be used as alternative when Ghani govt was in power.. When completely anti-pakistan forces were in power at the very top level and they spew venom against Pakistan at every forum...likes of Amrullah Saleh..
Why the heck TTP is so weak when Taliban is in power... But they were massively funded and loaded and were cutting throats uptill in swat when indian backed govts were in power in Kabul.. Something we need to focus on..
Besides getting full support by RAW / NDS .. the TTP did keep a link with Tailban as they knew, one day their bosses will change and IEA will get the power back.. Now they are trying their level best to mingle with IEA as their own and let their dream come true.... which is IEA vs Pakistan show down..
I trust what military is doing.. they know what are the stakes.. nothing much to worry as of now.
I just want to see drone strike killing the nest (leadership of TTP)
Exactly, what everyone needs to remember is that we are fighting a WAR
In this war their are multiple battles
Our main enemy and target is the hindus (you can say Indians all you want) but really it's the hindus and hindutva
The sub continent is rife with ethnocentric stupidity, right across the board from Tamil Nadu to Kashmir from Bengal to KP and Balochistan
We hit our enemies hard in Afghanistan this year and broke them, causing MASSIVE damage and destroying decades of their planning
The war however will be ongoing
We will lose soldiers in this war, but as long as you understand that for over all strategic interests that a relatively small amount of FC or soldiers lost per year is a price worth paying (
this I know sounds horrible and the families of these FC and soldiers would be pained to hear it)
But we decimated multiple enemies this year in Afghanistan and out played all of them
Our planning alongside China on the LAC has been superb and getting China actively involved a masterstroke of strategic planning where India now has a much bigger enemy to deal with whilst we plan and plot within India itself
We are in a WAR
We are in a WAR
People need to understand this
And in this war regardless of what happens our strategic planners have our strategic interests in mind for the long term
So unless the IEA march 10,000 men to our borders and invade it SIMPLY isn't strategically in our interests to overplay our hand
To anyone who understands it was OBVIOUS considering the state of the afghans that there will be constant fassad from them forever
They are a donkey people and you can't change them, but how we manage the battlefield is important
The afghans are starving, we have major cards to play and the IEA can be cajoled one way or the other
in the meantime we hit the TTP, BLA and anyone else
we make our enemies go missing
we hurt them bad
They will strike back at isolated FC or hit and run attacks but we need to ensure we are doing many time more damage to them and their people
and we are........
