China's strategy in Afghanistan.

There was a report from Britain I linked on this forum where a slew of British SAS are going to stay in Afghanistan to hunt down for those people responsible for the attacks at the airport, with the assumptions that the Taliban was supposedly going to let them stay which I highly f..king doubt. If they did manage to stay despite being denied by the Taliban means those rats are working for the other genocidal maniacs at the Panjshir valley.

Unlikely to be true. If they wanted to hunt down ISIS/Taliban, they would have done it when they were in the country.

Everyone in the UK are keen to put this episode behind them.

Looking like that. Murmurings of special forces and intelligence agency assistance to the Panjshir valley / Northern Alliance factions - more likely than support for Isis-K, and more problematic as the Taliban will likely need someone to provide air support to take the area if the Panjshir forces get western reinforcement.

As above, I think the consensus is that the US/UK have been burnt once by Afghan forces and aren't prepared to trust them again. They seem far more keen on engaging the Taliban diplomatically.

Despite what you hear on the news Panjshir is an awful place to defend. It's a remote barren region with limited scope for supplies. I'm willing to bet we don't see any fighting Panjshir Valley. It's all just Afghan tribal posturing for more/less rights.

If the ANA/NA wanted to have a last stand they would have done it in Kabul.

Key quote:

Nevertheless, Western elites and media outlets, especially those from the US, keep picking on China. In late August, the US and 97 other countries issued a joint statement saying they would continue to take in Afghans, and The New York Times stressed that "notably missing from the statement were Russia and China." The case was later echoed and further hyped on social media by some US politicians and scholars.

Unfortunately, what they displayed is far from justice, but exquisite egoism. On the one hand, they have been calculating to make China pay the bill for the rotten legacy the US forged in Afghanistan. On the other, by making a fuss about the case, they hope to put China in an international moral dilemma and then accuse China of "not being responsible."

Who gets to define "responsible?" Could it be the US, the country which destroyed others' homeland, created refugees, and then put up a noble face, pretending to be willing to take them in?

I'd posit that anglos know that having waves of migrants from a third world bronze age values society is likely to lead to terrorist attacks and crime but to the anglo leadership it won't be themselves in their gated communities and orgies in Ibiza who have to endure these "enrichment opportunities". No, it'll be the working class in europe and america.

The anglos are hoping to infiltrate ETIM and IS jihadists into Xinjiang to wreak havoc and are using mafia tactics to politically pressure China into accepting these migrants. I think just for their shamelessness, China should supply the Taliban with weapons to kill ISIS-CIA assets in A-stan.

No China should remain neutral because one misstep in middle east could turn half of them against you.

Look at this buffoon buttering up the know-it-all, human rights hypocrites crowd about his supposed intellectual horsepower and prowess in actual people management, along with propping up failed States that is Afghanistan. Academics are almost always never good managers.

Rhetorical jujitsu and rhetorical narrative are what passess for competence in the hallmarks of U.S. LGBTQ empire.

A great piece by the Grayzone on how the anglo elites got their man Ghani into power and what the anglo puppet regime of A-stan was not unlike a US dominated ROC.
Basically, anglo americans are obsessed with corportising and commodifying everything in the world; seriously, a CEO of Afghanistan?!! wtf. Even Australia is little more than an incorporated company based in New York.

That's how Capitalism operates.

Modi has really dropped the ball on foreign policy. I think he's severely hampered India's hopes for her emergence as an independent power in the Indian Ocean basin and has made her a de-facto puppet of American neo-imperial hawks with nothing to show for it. I feel bad for India, to be honest. She deserves better leadership - someone with positive vision and ambition for India, not just Trump Lite. She has great potential, but right now it's being frittered away, and she's being exploited by the west, while those who claim to be "patriots" and "nationalists" cheer them on.

In Afghnistan, India's loss in undoubtedly China's and Pakistan's gain, and will undoubtedly strengthen one of the key relationships in the region. Rather than naval gazing, this really should be a wake up call to India that Modi's trumpism isn't the answer, and they need to turn the ship around before it's too late.

Agreed. Although I believe that India's foreign policy would not have changed even if Modi and his BJP was not in power. If we listen to the rhetoric coming from the people in the opposition, we would be hearing almost the same thing. India's foreign policy is a bipartisan thing.

This paragraph from the Asia Times article pretty much sums India's foreign policy:

The Indians were under the illusion that China would be afraid of the Indo-US strategic alliance and act as India wants. But the situation did not develop as the Indians anticipated. They took a calculated risk, but it looks like Jaishankar is poor in math, and he miscalculated. India’s risk-taking turned into a bad bet. The result is the current Indian isolation and stature shrinkage.

Do note that these 'Indians' are not just the Bhakts, and BJP Hindutva fanatics. It also includes the general Jai Hinds who could be supporting either the BJP or Congress. Jai Hinds or Bhakts. BJP or Congress. All of them desire the same Indian foreign policy. Which is to hurt Pakistan, hurt China, manipulate Russia, embrace the US, and push for India to be part of the Western-Japanese imperialist club. Luckily for the rest of the world, India is failing miserably at all of these except for embracing America.

India's embassy escape from Afghanistan is the latest of these foreign policy failure. It blatantly showed which side India is on with regards to Afghanistan. India choose to be with the Western imperialist powers, than its Eurasian neighbours. India's dirty game with the ex-Afghan government against Pakistan and China is also slowly being uncovered day by day. India's isolation is coming, and its accelerating. This is the best thing to be happening for Eurasia.

More art work that's going to annoy the freedom of speech crowd.

Whether or not the SAS will operate in this area is dependent on JSOC support. And JSOC will definitely be active in this area, with or without Taliban approval, so the SAS is irrelvant anyway.

It will be DELTA, SOG and DEVGRU that will be doing most of the wetwork. The US still has an air corridor into Afghanistan and they will use it. The last 20 years has created a machine which is not going to simply turn off. They will find justifications and continue to use it because it exists (otherwise they lose their budget.)

I hope they keep wasting time and money on their SOFs and ignore their actual infantry and armored formations. Decommission more Abrams and Cobras etc. while continuing to expand JSOC.

The Indians really fuck themselves by antagonizing the Taliban.

China didn't spend $2.3 trillions and yet see what she managed to get.

These kind of people are typical hypocrite, dual personality and Schizophrenia. They always remain silent when inconvenient facts slap their face, but come out acting moral preacher whenever fit them. Their catch word is "I am talking about you and only you".
