Pakistan continue to use Taliban as hedge against India, says top American commander

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

OK
And nobody used Taliban against soviets or no body is using PKK against turkey.
No body used Tamil tigers against srilanka or multi bahini against Pakistan or BLA against China or uighers against China.

Yeah so what big deal

Everyone for themselves

 

[Imran Khan]

what taliban have to do with india ?

 

[Mighty Lion]

On the contrary, under Taliban, Afghanistan was the most stable and peaceful in history.

Taliban will never win and Afghanistan will remain in perpetual conflict if no peace deal which means anti Pak groups will continue to be hosted there

 

[Areesh]

Taliban will never win

Buahahahahaha

 

[Jungibaaz]

What a stupid statement. The commander needs to get his head out of his backside.

The only way one could make the argument that we use the Taliban against Indian interests is if we're using them to thwart Indian influence and sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan. That is that we prefer them in the Afghan political process, and less room for anti-Pak elements.

If that's the case, I don't see what's wrong (morally or strategically) in our efforts. And even then, the term 'hedge' makes no sense at all.

Taliban will never win

They won almost 15 years ago. Either the war goes on forever as the Afghan "government" is sponsored by the US, or eventually the Taliban overthrows them.

Afghan govt will never lose sponsorship.

Buahahahahaha

He is slum dog who does not know that Talibans are occupying 70% of Afghanistan while USA and NATO is present. As soon as, they leave..no one will be there to stop them from taking over. That is USA is directly talking with Talibans and bypassed the puppet Afghan govt.

Afghan govt will never lose sponsorship.

It may never except it won't last a day more ...after NATO leaves..and even though you are pathetically stupid....still you know it very well but pathologically lying to keep yourself fooled or mislead others.

A top American commander on Tuesday told US lawmakers that Pakistan’s policy seems to be unchanged and it continues to use the Taliban as a hedge against India.

Is that really a revelation? Pakistan must do whatever serves its own national interests, just as other players are, no more and no less. The better players will win this round, as always.

A top American commander on Tuesday told US lawmakers that Pakistan’s policy seems to be unchanged and it continues to use the Taliban as a hedge against India. Notably, the statement comes days after US President Donald Trump sought Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s help in the Afghan peace process.

Marine Corps Lt Gen Kenneth McKenzie Jr told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that he did not see much of a change in Pakistan’s behaviour towards Afghanistan or its stand against terrorist groups.

McKenzie further said, “Despite Pakistan’s positive rhetoric in support of the South Asia Strategy, violent extremist organisations or VEOs operate along its border with Afghanistan.” “While Pakistan has conducted some operations against VEOs in the country, they must continue to expand these operations and remain aggressively engaged,” he added.

“Taking concrete steps that deny VEO safe havens in Pakistan, as well as VEO freedom of movement from Pakistan to Afghanistan, remains an important ask that Pakistan needs to fulfil. Pakistan must leverage their influence over the Taliban leadership to help compel them to come to the table for reconciliation negotiations,” he noted.

“Pakistan’s action or inaction, as it relates to stability in Afghanistan, has often led to US’s frustration,” he said, adding that stability in the South Asia region remains the most important mutual strategic interest for both the US and Pakistan. “We must continue to engage with the Pakistani leadership to realise how we can achieve this mutual interest,” McKenzie stated.

“Pakistan could play a key role in facilitating talks between the Taliban and government of Afghanistan,” he said adding, “I would welcome that development. At this time, however, Pakistan does not appear to be using the full extent of its influence to encourage the Taliban to come to the table.”

“We continue to see the Taliban being utilised as a hedge against India rather than as part of a stable, reconciled Afghanistan,” McKenzie told the lawmakers.

Earlier, President Trump sent a letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan, requesting Pakistan’s full support to the US-led Afghan peace process and Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad’s upcoming trip to the region. President Trump also recognised that Pakistan has the ability to deny the Taliban sanctuary on its territory.
