Troops in Afghanistan ... in order to keep an eye on Nuclear Pakistan

[KurtisBrian]

Perhaps the gov'ts of the USA/UK/Europe/China.... are concerned that Afghan tribal groups will invade Pakistan and cause it to disintegrate.
Result...US soldiers stay in Afghanistan to keep Taliban focused on those people instead of on destroying Pakistan's gov't.
before the USA invaded Afghanistan what was the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan like?
Wikipedia says in 1996...Taliban wouldn't recognize the border. That = big trouble.

The idea is not to invade Pakistan but to have a say in the affairs of the region. As long as NATO exist in Afghanistan in any shape or form, they have the capability to keep tabs on Pakistan as well as influence course of events in Afghanistan.

can you please explain me how troops will keep tabs on Pakistan

a few thousand US troops cant touch Pakistan.

Around a couple dozen of them came inside Abbotabad. They martyred some 24 soldiers at Salala Checkpost, they had likes of Ramond Davis and BlackWater lurking around.
I am pretty sure USA can do a lot of things to Pakistan with or without inside approval or people.

Pakistan has many sellouts and it will continue to be the case.

If anyone thinks our nuclear program is not threatened by USA.... they can mot be more wrong.

Using terrorism apprehension, Islamic revolt inside nuclear program are just excuses... The truth is, we were always an irk to some countries and will be exploited any chance they can get, if they haven't already made headway till now.

Oh dear....

An Facepalm moment.

If Pakistan used all her nuclear arsenal on India, will these troops leave?

that's exactly what I thought, typing a sentence and knowing what it means are two different animals

 

[Gangetic]

The Taliban already surround Kandahar, Farah, Kunduz, Kabul, Ghazni, etc. If the US leaves there will probably be a ceasefire between the Taliban and Afghan government.

So all those Taliban soldiers carry Pakistani citizenship? or are you speaking of some sort of ethnic group?
If the fighters all carry Pakistani citizenship then in that case the USA and NATO have been at war with Pakistan and Pakistanis for the past 20 years. Strange no actions were taken against Pakistan or Pakistanis abroad then.

That would make the Afghanistan conflict kind of like a repeat of Vietnam where the US was only allowed to fight in the South (= Afghanistan) and not the North (= Pakistan).

What else do you want me to say? That America has infrastructure problems when securing her nuclear arsenal? The 1960s mechanism in place allows nuclear bombs to be dropped on American soil or unlocked silos of nuclear warheads?

This joke can only be answered with sarcasm.

Absolutely. Why not follow your own advice?

What do you think NATO is doing in Afghanistan? How they have probed and prodded Pakistan through the years? What is happening on Durand Line? How NATO continue to have a say in the affairs of Afghanistan and Pakistan? These are pressing questions and anybody who have studied these events closely doesn't need an explanation or need to ask juvenile questions such as "how troops will keep tabs on Pakistan." Like really...

That is what I said, you people think too much of yourself, what action were taken against Iran when they destroyed American military post in Iraq. Its easy to say "Pakistan needs to do more" in press briefing, to make Pakistan do more is totally different.

If they don't make peace with the Afghan Talibans by honouring their side of the deal they made with them then it will be clear to the Talibans that for them it is a zero sum game, if the Americans with their NATO allies and all of their technological advantages could not defeat the Talibans in the last two decades what makes them think they will be able to contain the Talibans with just 2500 troops and a rag tag northern alliance army eventually they will be overrun, someone needs to knock some sense into these yanks if you continue to go down this path you will loose all influence in Afghanistan, the Talibans don't even need to overrun, they just need to successfully kill a couple of hundred American soldiers to send a message across, maybe they might not have the capabilities yet but eventually they will, it's only a matter of time are you willing to take that risk?, the future of the Taliban in Afghanistan is a reality and you have just made a deal ensuring that the Taliban won't work against your country in the future, are you sure breaking this deal is in your best interest?

they have prodded and probed Pakistan looong before Afghanistan, they have a US embassy Castle in Islamabad, their diplomats roamed free in Pakistan unhindered during Zardari era, they have tabs on all communications in Pakistan (so they think), they have bought high ranking politicians and Liffafa journalists. They don't need 2500 hilbilly troops to keep tab on Pakistan.

US wants to stay in Afghnistan because they dont want to leave it open for China or Russia, China already want to setup and military base in Wakhan. US spent 10 trillion not to keep tabs on Pakistan chunda.

Pretty disgraceful comments especially when to a large part, the credit of getting the initial negotiations for the peace process going is due to Pakistan. If such remarks actually turn out to be a part of the Biden regime's Afghan policy, then I wouldn't be surprised to see an antagonistic response from Pakistan, perhaps not overtly but under the table.
