Well, the Indian variant has already taken lead over all other variants so let us see how it goes. I know many will be secretly wishing that their contempt for Pakistan is manifested. So they can take a *sigh* and say the usual dismmisives ....

It is. The tragedy is this region's geography is so compact but history has divided us - particularly after Russia and Britain divided it into their respective zones. If you apply Western Europe over our region below] Islamabad falls roughly in Rome, Italy, Kabul in Milan, Italy, Dushanbe...

Our neighbours refuse to accept the figures coming out of Pakistan. But here is a fact. You can only bend figures so much. If Pakistan had a disaster like India with our rivers chocked with dead bodies, media images of people gasping and dying outside on the entrance to overwhelmed hospitals no...

Asad Umar is very competent person. Using the army was great idea. This made NCOC like a military campaign HQ and covid requires war footing to deal with or you wil have the disaster we saw in India.

Which raises the question that after 70 years why have you not snatched it back? Considering India is vastly greater in population to the maginitude of nearly 7 times. I can already figure the answer brewing up in your mind. Ahh but China has not retaken Taiwan. Few points to note - Taiwan is...

Did I say differant? Everybody here knows I am pro Taliban for strategic reasons. Yes, I said all groups, yes all groups have engaged in war crimes and brutality. You just need to look at Dostum's record. I am not a group ods better on any measure. Let that sink in. They are all bad. But I side...

Therre appears to be another emerging situation. Lot of the logisticis, technical support and administration oif Kabul forces was being done by outside contractors. This included such things as servicing planes, handling communication etc. These contractors now are also departing raising the...

And I take it India is feeding cuddly bears. Everybody wants that. You will struggle to find a country that is involved in Afghanistan will say otherwise.

Bingo. This is simply a game of chess being played and all countries play this. They are not their for love or looking good. Although they won't say this in public but will try to 'dress' it up in more acceptable language.

Going back to Spin Boldak this is major loss for Kabul. As a border post it offers a huge income stream for the Taliban. Also lot of tribes/groups do not have any political stance. They just go by who butters their bread. The way Kabul in fact had gained some semblance of power was it recieved...

No, Taliban from POV are the least worst choice from basket of bad options. Every other country has allso chosen to tie it's mast to what they think in their POV is the best option. Like I said before this all boils down to self interest. So can we not try giving conspicuity to one countries...

Promotion up to middle ranks is almost always on merit. Above middle ranks or above rank of colonel element of politics seeps in. You got to seriously start tickling general staff rank officers or you will be pensioned off. By time you get to general staff and aim to be army chief it is almost...

You should know there is no such thing as 'love' in international relations. Have you see the savages USA is supporting against the urbane Asad and his rather delicious wife? Or what was the attraction that US had for Mujihadeen - was it some fatal attraction for hirsute, grizzly men?

Thanks for the education but you should know I am not so senile as not to be aware. I first got these on my iphone back in 2008 and wasted few days in awe at what I could track above my house which is under the main flightpath across the Atlantic to USA. My doubts are about that particular...

I don't think PAF is involved although they should since every AF from Northh America to Europe has been involved. One more ain't gonna make much differance. On a serious not I pesonally do think PAF did give a warning as this is right next to the border and 2 miles in air speed is seconds. PAF...

A random twitter account of a unconfirmed radar tracker does not equate to combat operations. It's like when I young and saw any curves I used to get a erection because in my mind it conjured a nubile woman.

At 13:30 the general says "this has to be the first time in history that a government [Kabuli] is looking forward to foreign occupation otherwise they can't exist". This had me in chuckles ...

This is a very interesting interview by Pakistani journalist Dr Moeed Pirzada in English of retired Lt. General Tariq Khan. He brings much military and personal experiance. He is the general who deafeated the Pakistani Taliban [TTP] during 2008-2012 war against the terrorists and was in command...

Don't forget the definition of 'Islamic' is on a linear continuum. For ISIS the Taliban could be seen as moderates, for Saudi's the Taliban as extremists, for most mainstream religious groups in Pakistan the Taliban are too extremists, then for somebody like me they are all extremists. And by...
