MORE ON THE TOPIC:
Maybe Southfront should stop forwarding the Afghan MOD propaganda. The Taliban losses they publish are some distance from reality and clearly targeted to only influence morale on either side. TEP.
SF got their payment cut off because of the US. They are salty and guess what they crying that the US lost in Afghanistan somehow. To me that is a big WIN for yanquis, they cut costs, they leave and look more extremist Sunnis are going into Afghanistan. That means problems for Russia, Iran, and even China.
Even Russia starts aiding CA countries and waiting for more extremist Sunnis pure from Afghanistan into Central Asia countries. From the Iran side, “TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh has voiced “deep concern” over continued clashes in neighboring Afghanistan as the internecine war between the Afghan government and the Taliban continued to rage on.”
And my god these moronic extremist lovers here are such stupid “people”. “US vows to isolate Taliban if they seize power as militants continue to advance”
They are going to sanction Pakistan as most of the Taliban money comes from Pashtuns in Pakistan and the Pakistani government + ISS. Stupid extremist lovers think yanquis stupid. “US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad brought a warning to the Taliban on Tuesday that any government that comes to power through force in Afghanistan won’t be recognised internationally as a series of provincial capitals fell to the militant group in quick succession.”
Only Pakistan would cry about the Taliban, and as I said they going to get ever poorer as Pakistan is not as powerful as Iran. It is laughable.
US & EU are Zion slaves you really mean terrorist sleeper cells of Indian RAW and zionist Mossad who trained at Camp FARAH,FARAH Province which was occupied by US/NATO Will be UNLEASHED to create TERROR AND HAVOC IN CENTRAL ASIA ETC AND TALIBAN WILL BE BLAMED CORRECT?
There is major confusion in world media about the ground situation as all sides are pushing their versions of the “truth”. It should all be taken with a grain of salt. However, the ground reality is that the ANA has basically collapsed and Kabul and a few areas are left in their shaky control and militarily it is simply not possible to avoid total collapse of the puppet Ghani regime. He is a US citizen and will flee shortly. The sixty four million Afghani question is what type of Taliban affiliated regime will emerge in the next few months.
Did you really just sign your comment? Jesus dude….
Taliban now have 10 major cities under control and the imminent battle for Kabul is coming. The ANA and US installed puppet government barely have 60 thousand armed men of dubious loyalty in a narrow ten kms belt around the capital and the airport perimeter and it is highly doubtful that the ANA will hold out for long. The best option is for the regime pilots to fly their helicopters and aircraft to Iran as the Shindad airbase is nominally operational, but will fall along with Mazar e Sharif. It is highly unusual, that unlike the 90’s the Taliban are easily capturing Northwestern Dari/Farsi speaking provinces first.
Iran and China would be the Natural allies with the Afghan Government. Iran is just too busy in their war in Syria. China, it appears, don´t want to distract from their escalation with the USA in the pacific. And Taliban is lucky enough that no Major power has the intention to support Afghan´s government now. Chinas is the only player with the means to put pressure on Pakistan and the means to support with drones and air force, but they dont seem interested in joining this fight now.
Andre China knows the reality and understands that The real threat to China is from terrorist Sleeper cells of Indian RAW and zionist Mossad who were trained at Camp FARAH, in FARAH Province under US/NATO not Taliban Afghanistan is such a pivotal state and part of geo strategic puzzle that USA/zio Christian west regret loosing it China/Russia and slow demise of zio Christian west will be accelerated as Turkey,Iraq,Saudis,even Egypt with Iran,Pakistan will join Chinese Economic Camp USA had golden opportunity to Be Hegemonic Power after Demise of USSR instead of focusing on development it focused on Death and destruction
Your assessment is largely correct. The Taliban 2:0 really do not pose any threat to Iran or China as they need trade and economic assistance. Pakistan is dead broke and bankrupt and Russia has enough military influence in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan to deal with any threat across the Amu Darya (Oxus). Iranian primary security interests have always been western frontiers, the historical invasion route from Alexander to Saddam. Afghanistan was a backward and troublesome part of the Persian Empire and really not much has changed.
Iran in 2021 is far more powerful and stable country than after the post revolutionary period and can secure its eastern flank. The Chinese, Russians and Iranians have far more strategic and intelligence cooperation than is publicly known.
Supposedly $120 billion of NATO and US funds went into “arming and training” the dismal ANA and even western intelligence analysts with limited brains are pondering over this question. This is worse than ARVN collapse in Vietnam as Afghanistan is geo-strategically far more important as it borders of the rising Eurasian power centers.
Biden and western mass media are LYING AND DEMONIZING TALIBAN to remove focus from their illegal invasion of Afghanistan and death,destruction it created US/NATO and especially Britain should be held accountable for WAR CRIMES IN AFGHANISTAN AND ROLE PLAYED BY INDIA INDIAN RAW IN CARRYING OUT TERRORIST ACTIVITIES
India has very limited access to Afghanistan and is not capable of supporting any faction. Ashraf Ghani openly in desperation asked India for air support, which was quickly declined as it would bring Pakistan into open conflict and Iran will not allow India to overfly its territory. The Chinese are muscling India out of the Chah Bahar port project as well as Indian policies are too influenced by the west. India is a two bit player on the global scene and Modi’s extremist Hindu policies has not made India any friends either in the Orthodox Christian world or with Muslims. India would be lucky if the Taliban allied Jihadis don’t show up in Kashmir, like General Akbar in 1948.
G2 Please note India has played BEHIND THE SCENES very very deep role in GHANI government and maintaining it’s power Indian RAW and zionist Mossad have trained large number of terrorist sleeper cells at Camp FARAH which was base camp of US invader army These sleeper cells have been creating havoc and western mass media finger points as Taliban doing it Also these terrorist sleeper cells will used in future against CA ,China,Russia etc and blamed on Taliban With respect Kashmir i do not see that Pakistan wants see escalations as it is now focused on geo economic progress and wants settle Kashmir issue by dialogue And bring India to join in peace and prosperity of region whole visionary focus of Pakistan is peace and prosperity not only of Pakistan but of India,Iran ,CA etc as well
Pakistan’s best hope of liberating Kashmir was 1962 when India was being humiliated by China is NEFA and Ladakh. However, Ayub was riding a Yak in Gilgit instead of planning for war. I believe that Afghanistan’s future is linked to Pakistan’s CPEC and Iranian-Chinese economic ONE BELT corridor. India simply has no land access to either Afghanistan or Central Asia. I also believe that the Taliban 2:0 are more Geo-politically realistic. However, I don’t see a totally western imposed puppet like Ashraf Ghani lasting beyond a few months.
G2 Very interesting in what you are stating I was reading history of East India Company etc and here are my observations FYI
Reading the history of East India Company white man observed at Varanasi that Indians would make EXCELLENT BABUS and CAN EASILY HYPED UP BY RELIGIOUS FERVOR ie India is ripe for colonization based on religious divide and rule game What he meant by Excellent Babu was that Indians under whiteman command will meticulously obey the order Work under him and follow the written instructions to the last dot BUT AN INDIAN IS UNABLE TO HANDLE POWER AND DISPERSE IT EVENLY This can be observed how Indians Behave at recent UNSC debate on Afghanistan under Indian Presidency whereby It stooped so low as to deny Pakistan right to address UNSC Debate as Pakistan is stake holder in stability of Afghanistan It is evident in Britain with Priti Patel as The Home Secretary And her behavior and arrogance Same with Rishi Sunak,Alok Sharma etc In India you can observe the Modi’s behavior and BJP arrogance towards minorities
Nation’s are defined by their national character. India for almost all its history until 1947 was never a unified state or independent. The Central Asians, Afghans, Persians, British, French, Portuguese have all ruled India. Modi’s Hindu extremism was created by the British, US and western intelligence agencies, just like Wahhabism, to counter the rising Muslim world and China. India was defined by the British clerk Robert Clive of the East India Company as a nation of Hindu babus or petty money lenders. India simply is not a viable state. At least Pakistan’s national identity is linked to Jinnah’s pan Muslim identity.
G2 Very interesting and correct assessment Two great threats to Indian unity is from Christianized Eastern India Assam, Nagaland etc and from Southern Christianized India Both have made deeper inroads and Modi has made strategic blunders that are irreversible Soon you see Balkanized India with two Christian countries emerging Which has long cherished dream of Britain and lately of USA and evangelical Christian churches
