Agreed, the end game is key - with all respect, peace is a must in Afghanistan; they have suffered long enough.The strategic value games are like double edged swords so it could have happened by anytime. Even, whatever narrative India builds at the moment; can be counter productive or we might see nothing to benefit from. However, Pakistan favour argument is strong due to the Afghanistan Peace Talks deal while on other hand, if India has to stop US in this regard, will have to offer something bigger than that. Trump has already waved the CAATSA card for india in-case S-400 deal goes through.
We do have requirement but so have the choice but India is in tight spot in this equation of Vipers for PAF & Afghanistan. May be the desperately worded articles are into preparation for S-400 to come in.
My friend just returned from Afghanistan, he has friends in US allied forces; there are reports they are dropping supplies periodically to the Taliban. I was skeptical but given the winds of change that are blowing; it will not be a surprise.
