Woah there fella...you've had too much to think!....The puritan islamist thought police are here to save the day regarding you and the other scoundrels in the kuffar and takfiri "unpure" larger miasma. Please take it easy, sober up... and try to understand: This school mass-murder lot are on...

So how would the average Uzbek, Turkmen or Tajik perceive a fanatic pakthun telling them what and how to do things in most intrusive way....at the barrel of the gun? A local?

This is why I say thank God for Ataturk, Secularism and strong+deep Turk identity (well past religion). It is the biggest bulwark against this medieval savagery and barbarism. I mean you and others have mentioned repeatedly what the Islamists, neo-Islamists et al have been trying to do...

You are approaching it with a good principle...so there is literally zero insult (if receiving end appreciates what that principle is). More Indians need to hear it (many are deluded/ignorant, have too much ego they generally "cross-harness"... and/or deflect to some silly apologism/excuse)...

https://defencehub.live/threads/indian-army-general-archive.122/page-3#post-107544 Indian army exercise with Uzbeks....that took place earlier in year. @Kartal1 et al.

As with lot of times, the answer is "it depends"....

Happy Independence day to all Indonesian members here.

It is very close up at the top (this is purely qualitative realm). These are splitting hairs tbh...and there is always issue of the small biases (given you haven't read/served in all systems equally). This is generally what I have gathered from people I trust a lot and/or served. i.e who have...

I am just saying lets wait to see how it all pans out, this is: A) very early days w.r.t new context situation B) this is afghanistan.

In fact I know this w.r.t qualitative basis especially. Having talked to number of well experienced Naval folks in the know. The 5 top navies qualitatively are generally agreed upon: USN, RN, RCN, RAN and Dutch. French, Italian, Japanese and bunch of others make the honour rolls just after...

Quite fluid situation prevails in northern AFG, especially with ANA force regrouping in uzbekistan etc. How the Russians and others get involved will remain to be seen given taliban is not a cohesive force either.

Any link/source?

The internal political discussion has been moved to appropriate thread: https://defencehub.live/threads/indian-politics-and-general-news-archive.2686/page-12

This is very true. I am not excusing the US of its role in all of it (and occluded to large degree by its media and politicians as we already talked about before)...or the hypocrisy in the far more tolerated presence of the phenomenon when it is conveniently buttressed by enough natural resource...

We kept it full in mind...and demonstrated its faultiness when it expressed itself (millions of refugees with horror stories, scars and all) on the eastern radcliffe border....when a purported nationstate (with more than enough establishment time downstream of partition bloodshed) is supposed to...

2 of my favourite YT guys did another awesome collab!

Not every country with muslim-majority has had the degree of secularisation that Turkey has had...and as crystallised in founding father to the degree it is. It counts for a lot....it is why Turkey is a genuinely powerful, organised country compared to rest of muslim world. The less that has...
