MODI & TRUMP is the perfect storm forming brewing for Pakistan.
Two redneck anti Islamic leaders and two very IN YOUR FACE I don't care too much FOR TIPPY Tappy diplomacy is what Modi & Trump are about.
I predict a steady rise in Indian Influence in Afghanistan At the wink wink behest of USA..
And YES I do predict indian Raw Agents to cause stir trouble via the back door from Afghan/pak border.
Pakistan has completely LOST ALL support & faith FROM USA........ and you can blame your ISI & ARMY for their idiotic attempts to claim they new nothing about OBL
Finding OBL in Pakistan was the biggest blunder the Pakistani ever made.
As for suggesting China & Russia can replace USA ... ............ not a chance
Modi is strong at home Trump isn't and looks more precerious with each day.
Neither have any clout in Afghanistan, and please don't write "oh but the Afghan government" you can't realistically call them a government at all. They have lost control over a full one third of their territory and are currently heading towards 50%, which is controlled in bulk by the Taliban, the rest a patch of local warlords, and of course a rising ISIS threat.
Your posts are way off. I've watched the region for over 30 years and all these fantsist projections will come to nothing. I remember he Russians saying this would happen and they ended up going in 89. I remember the US talking about stability and running the Taliban out of town, they're are now down to a token presence, which bolsters a fragile Afghan government. Your posts remind of the ridiculous forecasts made 10-15 years ago this very site by Indian posters where the US had just entered Afghanistan, the Taliban had taken heavy battlefield losses and the US was inking agreements, cementing a strategic partnership i.e. Bush and Manmohan, and how writing about how Pakistan was finished. What actually happened was the US became involved in far heavier guerrilla war than expected, and the Indian security establishment made a mess of trying to establish a presence in Afghanistan to hurt Pakistan. That actually was the time the time to hurt Pakistan, but now with the Taliban calling the shots how on earth is this going to happen?
The Obama and Modi era also had people making wild predictions of a partnership that would isolate Pakistan, and remember Obama was one of the most pro Indian US presidents ever, and what happened? Nothing, reality reared its head, he left, the troop surge ended, the Taliban now sit pretty.
I saw a program on Sky News just two weeks ago with reporters visiting the Taliban, and how the Afghan government is handing over massive funding for the Taliban to run all schools, hospitals and other amenities in many areas. It was a joke, and just flew in the face of everything people had been told to believe. The Afghan government now has ISIS to deal with, something the Taliban chose to ignore for the time being, mainly due to the fact the government diverts much needed resources away to fight them, so the Taliban just consolidates its hold. I remember a Taliban commander being asked how do they plan to fight NATO's immense military, he simply replied that they have one weapon which the alliance did not have, which was time, and we clearly see that.
India is simply non entity in Afghanistan, you may not like what I say but it is a fact. Where is your leverage and room to manoeuvre with the Taliban being stronger than ever now? They view you with utter contempt, the Afghan government has no writ and the situation is a tinder box. There's a reason why countries such as Iran, which have far greater clout then India in Afghanistan have more or less stepped aside and taken a quiet role. They know the ground reality and they've watched over the region for centuries.
There is one nation that is directly linked to the Afghan region be it through culture, religion, geography, shared history etc, that is Pakistan. The US will never end this relationship or damage it to the point both stop speaking. They have put in too much for them to just ditch Pakistan and go it alone, or with a third country (there isn't one) . There is no other country around that the US can deal with or rely on in many areas other than Pakistan, especially when it comes to the strategic region of Afghanistan. The press can talk, Trump may ponder but the US generals, especially the likes of the esteemed general James Mattis know how vital Pakistan is, that's why the military leadership has remained mute on the issue and actually advises against a tough line on Pakistan.
Anyway that's realism for you.
.....So says the same PEOPLE who vehemently proclaimed that Pakistan would NEVER EVER become a nuclear weapons state with or without Chinese assistance. That the Americans would make sure it never happens on the BEHEST of the indians.........lol.......lol........
