Yes, indeed. Afghanistan has seen lot savagery - in 1980s Mujihadeen would often skin alive Soviet Russian troops. Dostum then was a red communist fighting for Mother Russia. After fall of Taliban and 2001 Dostum leashed hell and this is recorded. He murdered Taliban prisoners by locking them in...

Dostum is like a Chameleon. He will just change side if Talibs offer him enough $$$ and a sinecure post.

If these people go to Turkey bad news for Pakistan. Most of these will be Pakistan haters and will spread their venom in Turkey - one of the few countries on earth where the name 'Pakistan' recieves a positive response. The wave of Afghans who will and have gone to USA will be source of...

Very true. I got to say I am surprised at the delusion of the Kabuli bubble which lives on American supplied oxgen. The fact is USA and NATO with 150,000 soldiers and to use PM Imran Khan's words "greatest military machine in history' failed to suppress the Taliban what chance does this American...

Said in jest as in India pushed out of Eurasia and left to dance with budies Banglas, Sri Lankans, Maldives etc Not ewverything has to be serious. No harm in ligh hearted digs?

"Sari dancing" India and Bangladesh @Jackdaws

I have been saying it for some time that Pakistan is going through a major change and it will never be the same again under PTI. The western side of Indus Basin is begining to gain ground. Does anybody notice the guys surname?

No idea what is going to happen in the short term but I can almost see over the longer term for certainty that American influence on the pivot of Eurasia will be erased. The only platform they can rely on is the Ganga region which has no geographic proximity to Eurasia. Pakistan effectively is...

I feel Taliban need to hold down their offensive until the date for American departure has been passed. Until then they risk pulling USA back in again. Reminds me of Chechens when the Russians pulled out but then forced the Russians back by going for Daghestan. Consolidate for now! Time is on...

Fair point.

If I said certain characteristics are embedded in Indian DNA you would be cry 'racism' to the Mods.

So killing 1 million Iraqi babies, girls, women etc was a exception? Mashallah you have very skweded understanding of what 'exception' means. By the way what accountability did Britain face for causing the starvation to death of 3 million Indians in 1943?

There are American soldiers who kill young girls, rape young girls, slice of prisoners ears but do you use them to brand entire US Army? And in Pakistam we have about 50 differant groups all styled as 'Taliban'. Taliban is not exclusive club like.

I have always considered Turks to be warriors. Pashtuns are no less born warriors. The essential differance between Turks and Pashtuns is we are disunited, prone to tribal fissures, internal rivalries and religious backwardness although there are socio-historical reasons for this. When and if we...

I think I can think of many descriptions for Taliban but 'cowards' is not one of them. I have read British infantry reports on engagements with Taliban. The only thing that would stop them was massive air strikes. Other than that they would never stand down.

Federal Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Minister Asad Umar announced on Tuesday that Pakistan had hit the target of administering one million Covid-19 vaccination doses in a day. The minister said in a tweet: "[I am] happy to report that the target we had set for 1 million...

Yes, they are by my measure but so are the rest.

The media in each of these countries are broadly in sync with the ruling order. They all read from the same page but have differant accents. I sazw the media coverage building up to the Iraq war. They were complicit in the gabrication, lies that the governments peddled. Ask Julian Assange what...

This is very possible. Indeed I would be surprised if this does not happen. The Taliban will settle scores even if their leadership does not agree with such policy and give directions to the contrary. Over last 20 years there is lot of bad blood. But having said this it's not like ANA, US, UK...

Ever read Animal Farm? It's case of two legs bad, four legs good. Or anything that meets your individual procivity is 'authentic'. Fact. every media is biased and peddles the news cut to fit it's agenda. This is why the Turks have set up TRT World, Russkies RT World etc. They are all peddling...
