Just give the Afghans all the stuff the US military cannot easily fly out and leave the place alone.

US President Joe Biden has said India, Pakistan, Russia, China, and Turkey have a significant stake in the stable future of Afghanistan and these regional stakeholders should do more to bring peace in this war-torn country, from where he will withdraw all American troops by September 11.


"We will ask other countries in the region to do more to support Afghanistan, especially Pakistan, as well as Russia, China, India, and Turkey. They all have a significant stake in the stable future of Afghanistan," Biden said in a nationally televised speech from the White House on Wednesday.

In less than 100 days after taking over as the president of the US on January 20, Biden announced to begin to withdraw all American troops from Afghanistan by September 11.

The US currently has a little over 2,500 troops, which is far less than the 100,000-plus during the Barack Obama administration.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that there is no military solution to the current situation Afghanistan, rather a diplomatic solution is required.

“Even as we are withdrawing our troops, we will continue to support diplomatic and humanitarian work. We will ask other countries to step up, whether that's Pakistan, Russia, China, India, Turkey -- countries in the region that certainly have a stake in stability. We will continue to provide significant humanitarian resources,” Psaki said in response to a question.

“We will continue to be engaged. This is the president's assessment about whether having troops on the ground, a military presence in the same way -- in a version of the same way it has been over the last two decades -- is in our national interest. And he has made the decision it is not,” she said.

Biden said the war in Afghanistan was never meant to be a multi-generational undertaking. "We were attacked. We went to war with clear goals. We achieved those objectives. (Osama) Bin Laden is dead, and al Qaeda is degraded in Iraq, in Afghanistan. And it's time to end the forever war,” he asserted.


The Biden administration on Wednesday did not give details of its expectations from India on the latter's role in Afghanistan after the complete withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

In the past, successive US administrations have praised India’s role in peace and development in Afghanistan.

“India has been the largest regional contributor to Afghan reconstruction, but New Delhi has not shown an inclination to pursue a deeper defense relationship with Kabul,” said a recent report on Afghanistan by the independent Congressional Research Service.

“Pakistan’s security establishment, fearful of strategic encirclement by India, apparently continues to view the Afghan Taliban as a relatively friendly and reliably anti-India element in Afghanistan. India's diplomatic and commercial presence in Afghanistan and US rhetorical support for it exacerbates Pakistani fears of encirclement,” said the CRS report.

Interestingly, he did not mention Iran which is a neighboring country. I think Iran is also a key player.
This US withdrawal is a repeat of its withdrawal from South Vietnam, knowing full well that North Vietnam would soon capture the South.
Post US withdrawal, Taliban would be free to break any deal and attack and capture Afghanistan. US would warn and give statements, but do little on the ground.
Time for India to pivot its foreign policy vis-a-vis Taliban. Make a deal with them to provide some development assistance in return for non-interference in Kashmir and rest of India.

That's what ordinary Afghans tell about Pakistan.

India is not a neighbor of Afghanistan and has no business to get involved in Afghanistan.

Indians better vacate Afghanistan before US troops leave to avoid bloodbath.

 

[PAKISTANFOREVER]

That's what ordinary Afghans tell about Pakistan.

Which is why OVER 14 million Afghans live and work in Pakistan with many more millions trying to come in..........

It is panning out to be exactly as I have predicted years ago.

Americans despite all the hula hoop didn't manage to control Afghanistan despite their "technology and money", Taliban seen to it.

The West installed puppets are also seeing the writing on the wall. They are taking their last breath. As soon as Americans leave, they know what their fate would be. It would end up as it was before, Pushtoon and Northern Alliance battle for control of as much area as possible.

Americans pushing for Indian's role, as this statement from Biden states that India has stakes in Afghanistan. Nope Mr President , it doesn't, despite your best efforts. India tried to buy the stakes by investing on projects and on some traitors like Ghani etc. But mission failed.

Once the Americans out, Indians would run. There would be no place for them in Afghanistan. It is written on the wall.

Unless.
Crucial unless.

They started to use their "uncountable wealth" and " vedic technology", which we hear all the time is superior to the best Americans have to offer.

Why will US mention Iran?

Iran is not a slave of the US while India is a slave of the US.

You do realize that the Afghan Taliban hate your kind even more than we do. By America leaving they have been hugely emboldened. Their thinking is that if we can defeat the most powerful and advanced military to have EVER existed in human history then the indians are not even ants in front of the Afghan Taliban.

 

[masterchief_mirza]

india? wht india got to do with afg?

Obviously if Pakistan is interested in something, India has to follow a few metres back bobbling its head shyly. This statement by Biden perfectly captures the essence of India's Pakistan-obsession.

We encourage Indians to send soldiers and contractors to secure their interests now that the Americans are packing up.

Afghan Taliban have inherent strength in their own land. It will not be easy for them to come and fight us in our land. Sure, they have nuisance power. Hence I recommend that India makes a deal with them. If they truly want good for Afghanistan, then India can help with developmental assistance.
We are not interested in sending any military boots unlike US or Russia.

LOL at India. India will become so irrelivant in Afghanistan.

 

[vostok]

So - are they shutting all those terrorist training camps or just removing them to other states? And how they plan to control heroin trade? America is all about money, mostly - dirty money.

I havent seen Chinese offering much developmental assistance (free of any strings) yet in Afghanistan. Anyways Russian and Chinese are also free to provide assistance. War ravaged Afghanistan needs all the assistance it can get from as many sources.
