Jim Mattis should not be allowed to fool India
One thing has happened because the Congress leadership is ultra stupid, we have a government made up of stupids at he center (stupids have won over ultra stupid ones). Since stupids have ruled us long, the USA is simply using us as their Colony so that it citizens could be merry, just like the repeat 70 years ago when the British exploited us.
India should think about India and Indians. We must think about ways to make ourselves better and place trust in Science, Technology, Philosophy, Reasoning and Logic. No matter how hard that Jim Mattis (visiting US diplomat) pushes, we must not intervene in Afganistan militarily. It would be destructive to us.
We have already invested a lot in Afganistan and haven’t got anything in return yet. Afganistan is failure of USA’s foreign policy. Any country that had relation with United Kingdom and USA has some kind of problem, Afganistan is one among them.
If Afgan’s or USA wishes to give us money in advance, what can India do is to sell its weapons to the Afgan army, we can train their military as our military is one of the best disciplined in the world. We can repair Afghan defense and offense installations.
Its not a great situation to see the Taliban occupying 47% of Afganistan, but this is what you will get if you have religion preside over logic and administration. Afgans will never realize it. They might fight hundreds of battles to get foreigners out of their land, but they are too afraid to fight a battle to keep religion out of state affairs. They are simply doomed if no miracle happens.
Our operations should be in Pakistan, we must weaken it by a million cuts. India should not go behind the Pakistan’s military, ISIS and terrorists as they are doing a good job of getting the county plunging into abyss, but India must target liberation of Boluchistan. With war on western and Eastern front, Pakistan will have difficult time to concentrate on pumping terrorist into Kashmir.
All I am saying is this, its not the fate of Indian soldier to die on someone else’s soil, lets use this situation to test our weapons, technology progress and political theory.
Wonder how many Indian politicians are corrupt and will let USA treat us as another colony? We must wait and see.
