Deucalion Posted May 3, 2021 Posted May 3, 2021 I fully agree with US, also india should send its troops to afghanistan. Lone Wolf, Indwin and beetle 2 1
beetle Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 We have enough problems around us to watch out for. US can do their own dirty work and don't expect others to clean up after them. BacktoCricaddict, WC2011INDIA and Real McCoy 3
Real McCoy Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 We should look at Afg as an ally to counter Pak. This will serve our interests. Our interests may align with US interests only on this part not to put our own troops there. No time to engage taliban. That should be entirely left to US as they have planted a tree there and sat on it and now is trying to pass the buck on to us. No good will come out of this as we already have Pak and China to deal with. Vilander, beetle and mishra 3

Lone Wolf Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Lol hell no.. Why we send our Bravehearts to a hell hole? Also logistics is a nightmare plus who's gonna pay for all this. India is too smart to fall for this & we have never agreed to this. Deal with Talibanis & haqqanis yourself uncle sam. Edited May 4, 2021 by Lone Wolf BacktoCricaddict and Indwin 1 1

That's how it works with India, I know its difficult for a pakistani to understand as Pakistan does what China or US or Saudi wants. And if India were to put armed forces in Afg it will be based on Afg peoples request and Indian peoples acceptance and its result for pak would be similar to Kashmir. Take your fake bravado elsewhere. Norman 1

Do the locals want it though. If not, then we will be hated just like the US is. The difference is US can live peacefully with Canada and Mexico and two oceans side to side. India is quite closer to Afg and any bad blood is unneeded. Troops on soil is never a good thing. Ask Sri Lanka. We were hated by them when Rajiv asked IPKF to land on SL and maintain "peace". Indians were hated by both sinhalese and tamils. Don't want such a scenario with Afg. If Afg military wants training, we could do but US is already doing enough training. So me thinks this is a logistics problem with not many locals agreeing with the govt there. US wants India to do the dirty work of keeping "peace" and a puppet Afg govt is giving the all clear. Better to stay away and mind our own business. f20143g70 1

I mean who does really. I have studied with Afghans in my college & I found them friendly enough.. As long as we don't give them reason to hate which is having boots on ground for no reason we will be fine. Younger generation has some hatred for Pakistan though. Rajiv Gandhi really messed up with lankans.. A lesson we have learnt decades ago now. That's why nobody is interested in other's problem now. Look at recent Myanmar's case.. India is totally silent & only looking at its geopolitical interests which is the right way to go. Real McCoy, f20143g70 and Indwin 3

Look at recent Myanmar's case.. India is totally silent & only looking at its geopolitical interests which is the right way to go. It is true with the older gen too. I interacted with a cab driver in US who is from Afg. He bluntly took the topic of Pak and said Afg deserves the NW province and India upto the Indus river and said Pakistan is on the way Basically what he is saying is state should be bordered on ethnic lines as the Afghans consider themselves as not Indian not like the idea of Pakistan which is based on religious lines which don't fall in line with their philosophy. The idea of Pashtuns and Punjabis living together and struggling for power has no basis in reality. If in the future, Afg gets economic freedom, Pashtuns may switch their allegiance towards AFG. This is what Pakistan fears and hence the good Taliban and bad taliban lol. What they are talking about is for themselves. Pakistan is itself in a conundrum as to who is who. I have found Afghans usually congenial and honest something that cant be said about Pakistanis. I have heard of Indian POW put on the border with AFG and Afghans showed more sympathy for them than Pakistanis obviously. We should take this into consideration because we live in Asia surrounded by a big enemy in China and its lapdog in Pak. We need to be more friendly with our historic allies such as Afg and Iran and work with them rather than listening to some non local superpower such as US, UK, etc. We live in Asia and lets not sheet on our bed like we did in SL. China is already working its magic over Nepal and SL. We should be nicer to our little neighbors as well. Bhutan and Afg are the only place which we have good relations with and we should maintain this. Norman, mishra and Lone Wolf 1 2

Number Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 Training and providing support to Afghan forces is what we can do. Sending troops on ground in a terrain completely unknown will not be wise. If it was an all out war with clear borders we could think of it but it is an insurgency which can not be controlled by foreign troops.
Serpico Posted May 6, 2021 Posted May 6, 2021 How many trillion dollars did US pour into Afghanistan? And the end result is not even close to the ideal situation and they are extremely hated by everyone involved. If Indian govt actually agree to this, they will be the dumbest people in the world, I hope it's just clickbait news

That's the dharm of your fauj enabled govt, ask for money on one side and bomb the infidels with the same money. We know that's what you and your lot are looking for, killing some Indians through suicide bombers. It's good that you lot are aware of your abilities, limited to jihadi terror. A military conflict either means losing face, signing another surrender treaty or worst case nuclear annihilation if you press the button first.

Pakistani ISI has too strong connections over there that even US needs help over there. Afghanistan is a black hole &ain't nobody stupid enough like US to get stuck in it.
