Karzai to ask for lethal weapons, won't mind Indian troops on Afghan soil

[DESERT FIGHTER]

While you are at it why not hand them a nuke as well.

They themselves are buying AT missiles ... face shortage of arty guns and akash is a short range missile... isnt even worth it...

IA has extensive exposure to CI. Better thing is to negotiate with US to provide air support beyond and near to Af boundary, India can send boots to train AfArmy inside urban centers. US is unlike to completely refuse he request as any US withdrawal and talib return will embolden them so much that another 9/11 like situation will definitely re-occur. IMO, at least 20 years of stability is required in Af for rural level people to appreciate the fruits of democracy and peace. Of course, the boots need to be withdrawn if things do not work out (I know it is easy for me to say as I am not a "boot", but talib return in Af will be a disaster for India and other non sharia countries).

 

[notsuperstitious]

Nobody asked for troops, nobody wants to send troops. This self fulfilling cycle of paranoia and then using that to justify pakistan's interference in afghanistan must stop.

 

[A1Kaid]

Pres. Karzai can do what he likes and make whatever policy he wants for his country.

 

[Cyberian]

Come on now Indians, be brave and don't abandon your only ally in the region today. Remember what happened when India abandoned it's ally Sri Lanka back in 1987?

Karzai & his cronies being so corrupt is the main reason why the Taliban have some support among the people. India needs to keep some level of communication open with the Taliban after 2014 as well as with the Northern Alliance along with Iran.

If that were true, the amount of times India has accused Pakistan of such a thing, you'd think that Pakistan would be a nuclear wasteland.

Don't get your hopes up

Anyways, Karzai has always requested lethal military aid to Afghanistan from India. India has always been reluctant, as they don't want to antagonize Pakistan, the simple reason being that if even one of those pieces of equipment falls into militant hands (as a lot of ANA hardware tend to get sold off on the black market by corrupt ANA soldiers), Pakistan can accuse them of sponsoring terrorists and point out "evidence" to prove their claim.

On the other hand, nothing India does is in the interest of Pakistan's future, no matter what anyone of those political and diplomatic fools claim. If India had a chance, it would break Pakistan into little pieces, but the feeling is mutual, so...yeah.... :|

But then again this scenario wasn't feasible and was not applied by India. Exists only in the minds internet hindoos.

This is not 1971 and not every day is a sunday.

Of course, good that you believe in that

 

[Anony]

What kind of weapon system we can provide to AF when all of our weapon are imported and very expensive and who is going to pay for it ?

Arjun mk1, Akash - SAM and few artilleries. That will suffice. I was even thinking of Prahaar missile. Indian Army not finding a space to induct, give it to Afganistan. 180km range of it will suffice.

India has never had any sort of communication with the Taliban, and it likely never will. Not saying that they aren't capable, it's just that any link with the Taliban will make them look bad, if discovered.

Northern Alliance is dead, and has been replaced by the current Afghan government which is filled with former Northern Alliance groups. If the Afghan gov falls, then it's all over for Afghanistan for another 30 years.

In the end, Pakistan will suffer. No matter who comes to power, Pakistan will be scapegoated. The Afghan gov survives, they accuse Pakistan for supporting the Taliban and create instability in the tribal regions. Taliban comes to power, they accuse Pakistan of supporting NATO forces in Afghanistan and launch terrorist attacks in Pakistan.

No matter who wins, Pakistan will end up being a scapegoat.

 

[Goodbye!]

No matter who wins, Pakistan will end up being a scapegoat.

Happens often when you switch sides depending on the convenience of the day.

Not about switching sides, even if we stayed out of this entire conflict, Pakistan would still get blamed. Don't pretend otherwise.

Had you chosen not to join what was essentially America's war, after their "friendly" overtures, you would not have an alienated populace in the Pakistani Taliban. This is no pretense, just fact.

Not 1% Afghans support Taliban, even in villages, I am aware of it. All Taliban are illiterate and jobless morons of Pakistani tribal areas, lured by ISI as proxy PA fighters.
Taliban have support among Afghans, its a completely false narrative. Very few people understand it.
