And what are the Indians waiting for ? Not sending in the IAF ?

The USA is leaving Afghans in precisely the situation that the Americans wanted – a nation of squabbling warlords,antagonistc tribes and a resurgent Taliban.If the US wanted they could have bombed the Taliban,and at least delayed the Taliban wave until September – but they did NOT.

The US wants to put the fear of death into Ghani and his merry men, and the warlords – to push them into a coalition – desired by the USA, and funded by the USA.

Ultimately that will also fail,and the nation will be divided into “zones of influence”,with the maximum spread with the Taliban,and the Taliban controlling the supply chains to all oteher zones.So you will have a interlocked and connected matrix,which is spun by the USA ,every few months, by some “event” – to keep the players ,in their place – strategic disequilibrium – where all players are off balance – but will not collapse.

The Taliban will earn toll revenues from infra (built by the hapless Indians),and tax revenues from tradea,s CORRUPTION WILL DECLINE SHARPLY – and that is enough to finance the Islamic state.The BONUS will be Chinese investments into Taliban ,for minerals and the royalty,transit fees and profit taxes ,which will then get the Taliban, the funds to build an Airforce,which will then take over Afghanistan

The Mongols will redeem the Islamic state of the Taliban,as a part of the Ghazwa E Hind and other prophecies.In Return,Taliban will offer no sanctuary to East Turkmenisation and Xinjiang fighters ! Using the Chinese to deal with the Taliban is the best option,as they are a new face with NO HISTORY OF GENOCIDE AND PERFIDY IN AFGHANISTAN !

It is a NEW DAWN and the rise of the 1st REAL ISLAMIC NATION – which will be the most prosperous in the world (among Muslim nations) as the population is just 40 million and the nation has Trillions of USD of Minerals and will earn Billions of USD,via transit fees for the logistics and hydrocarbon corridors !

And that will lead to the revival of the Islamic nation (based on shariat) across all Muslim nations.It will be the 1st AND ONLY VIABLE TO THE DUBIOUS ELECTORAL DEMOCRACIES OF MUSLIM NATIONS.

WHAT CAN THE INDIAN WEASELS DO ? THEY COULD NOT PROTECT THEIR INFRA OR THEIR MI-24 CHOPPERS OR THEIR TRAINED AFGHAN ARMY OR NAJIBULLAH or CHABAHAR or THE TAKEOVER OF CHABAHAR BY PRC ?

THE INDIAN ARMY IS A PANSY FORCE – WHICH EVOKES NO FEAR OR RESPECT IN ENEMIES ! KILLING KASHMIRIS IS EASY, AND SO IS FIGHTING OUTNUMBERED KASHMIRI MJAHIDEEN,ON A SUICIDE MISSION, ARMED WITH AK-47 AND LIMITED AMMO AND NO KEVLAR ! AND STILL THE INDIAN PANSY CALLS ITSELF BATTLE HARDENED !

THE SAME APPLIES TO THE IAF ! IT HAS NO ROLE IN AFGHAN ! THE GOI MIGHT HAVE ALREADY CUT A DEAL WITH THE TALIBAN – TO NOT SEND IN THE ARMY OR IAF , AND NOT O TAID GHANI – AND IN LIEU,THEREOF,TALIBAN DOES NOT DESTROY INDIAN ASSETS AND DOES NOT ENTER KASHMIR !

THE INDIANS CANT EVEN KEEP THEIR MIGs FROM CRASHING – AND HOW DEEP CAN THE IAF GO INTO AFGHAN AND FROM WHERE – WHOSE AIRSPACE AND WHOSE REFUELLING AND WHOSE CARRIERS ? WHOEVER AIDS THE INDIANS WILL BE BOMBED BY THE TALIBAN ! dindooohindoo

IN ESSENCE,HINDOOS HAVE NO ROLE OR PLACE IN AFGHANISTAN ! BY RACE AND RELIGION THE PERSIANS,CENTRAL ASIANS,TURKS AND PAKISTANIS ,HAVE A ROLE ,AND AN AXE TO GRIND ! INDIANS ARE HISTORY – THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY !

THE US WILL GET TALIBAN TO KABUL ,BUT IN A GRADUATED MANNER – TO REALISE THE ROLE AND POWER OF THE US – AND IN RETURN,,TALIBAN HAS TO GIVE NO SPACE TO AL QAEDA ,AND BE MORE HUMANISTIC !

PEOPLE IN AFGHANISTAN WILL SEE THE MAGICAL NEW FACE OF TOLERANCE OF THE TALIBAN ,TO EVERYTHING EXCEPT CORRUPTION , VULGARITY AND BLASPHEMY !

AND ULTIMATELY, THE TALIBAN WILL LIBERATE KASHMIR WITH THE MONGOLS AND PAKISTANIS – NOT ONLY, DUE TO PROVIDENCE – BUT BECAUSE IDEOLOGY TRUMPS ALL TACTICAL ALLIANCES ,AND THE TALIBAN THRUST INTO KASHMIR, IS THE ISLAMIC SALVATION OF THE TALIBAN AND THE LAND OF THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL , ID.EST AFGHANISTAN !

And given, as well, the gradual geographic dispersal in patterns of our settlement and living, and the resultant disruption of traditional society.

Surveying the accelerating changes in our society and culture, educational system, moral and intellectual landscape, value systems, behavior, and political system that have been so wide-spread and profound.

I think that, in the world we find ourselves in today, such slow, patient, incremental change, and it’s preservation–much more suitable for, and possible in a much slower paced, less “connected” time–is, today, a diminishing option.

One possibility, though–find a physical location out of the mainstream (or, perhaps, try to hide in plain sight), gather like-minded people, try to preserve what is fundamental, essential, and good, and wait things out.

In essence, found a physical (or intellectual) organization similar to a Monastery or Abby–in the hope that when today’s civilization comes crashing down–as it looks like it might–(especially if we don’t get of this damn vulnerable planet, and spread out into our Solar system and beyond)–your organization–if it survives, which is very much not guaranteed–will be there to reconstitute civilization on a much more sound basis.

For some ideas, see “The Benedict Option,” the science fiction classic, “A Canticle for Leibowitz,” or some of the ideas in Asimov’s science fiction “Foundation” series.

Nevertheless I charge forward: the first is an aphorism I’d heard attributed to D. D. Eisenhower which goes roughly “If you have a problem resisting solution, make it bigger”, the second is Machiavelli’s Preface to his “Discourses on Livy”, together with what I imagine was his general disposition as he began to muster his energy to embark on founding the modern world.

Genuine change may necessitate a work prolonged to centuries and only accomplished then by many willing hands throughout that time (and beyond too, I guess, if, as good and just change, it is to be meaningfully preserved).

Why bang your head against a brick wall?

She’s always struck me as being far more intelligent, informed, accomplished, and level-headed that almost any other public figure/government official in Washington.

But, I guess that with these qualifications—she is far too knowledgeable about Washington, and far too wise to want to reenter that snake pit.

It could be that the “some in the administration” that Bolton conflict with include Elliot Abrams, the United States’ Special Representative for Venezuela. I’m not sure what they would disagree about, though.

Trump pulls out the tyrant-slayer for Venezuela’s dictator Maduro
By Monica Showalter
This might just work…

President Trump seems to have allowed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to bring in Elliott Abrams as his special point man for Venezuelans affairs.
…
Regardless of what you think of Abrams, a neocon who has vociferously opposed Trump in the past, and who was turned down for a State department job on just those grounds in the past, his appointment should keep Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela’s brutal dictator, up at night.
…
He has experience in spades and he’s close to Marco Rubio, who’s made quite a few excellent calls in the run-up to the current crisis.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/461125-trump-bolton-was-holding-me-back-on-venezuela

Trump tweeted that his own “views on Venezuela, and especially Cuba, were far stronger than those of John Bolton. He was holding me back!”

Bolton, who is known for his hawkish positions on U.S. policy toward Cuba and Venezuela, was ousted by Trump on Tuesday in dramatic fashion.

The former aide was a vocal advocate for ending the government of Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro and was seen as a driving force behind the White House’s push to oust the South American leader.

The Washington Post reported in May that Trump had expressed frustration over the lack of progress on the effort. The Trump administration months ago backed opposition leader Juan Guaidó, but Maduro to this day remains in power.
…
Trump unveiled sanTrump’s tweet on Thursday came in response to one from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who said he spoke with Trump about Venezuela and that the president told him he disagreed with Bolton on issues but that his views are “the DIRECT OPPOSITE of what many claim or assume.”

Rubio said that Trump assured him that if “the direction of policy changes it won’t be to make it weaker.”ctions on the government of Venezuela at the beginning of August, in what was viewed as an escalation in the White House’s efforts to oust Maduro despite the current stalemate.

WTH is going on in Venezuela? Elliott Abrams discusses Trump’s strategy

WASHINGTON — A top American diplomat said the United States would not prosecute or otherwise seek to punish President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela if he voluntarily left power, despite bringing his country to the verge of economic collapse and humanitarian disaster.

Elliott Abrams, the State Department’s special envoy for Venezuela, said he had seen no indication that Mr. Maduro was willing to step down. But his offer of amnesty was a message to Mr. Maduro after both countries’ leaders described high-level talks that Mr. Abrams unequivocally said did not happen.

“This is not a persecution,” Mr. Abrams said of Mr. Maduro on Tuesday evening in an interview. “We’re not after him. We want him to have a dignified exit and go.”

He added: “We don’t want to prosecute you; we don’t want to persecute you. We want you to leave power.”

Afghanistan is not our longest war — we fought the Siberian-Americans for almost 200 years. It’s not even our longest occupation — the Marines occupied Haiti for 19 years, Nicaragua for 17, to say nothing of the Philippines, Germany, and Japan. But, since we were not willing to do what the successful conquerors of Afghanistan did, i.e. any trouble from a village, and you raze it to the ground, kill all the men, rape all the women and sell them into sex slavery, plow the fields under and sow them with salt. Not even the Russians were willing to do that in Afghanistan. (Although they were willing to and did it to Chechnya — closer to home, I guess.) I second, or third the motion that on our way out, we burn the poppy fields, bomb flat any Taliban base, village, or meadow, known or suspected, and leave a couple of CIA Special Activities Teams armed w/laser pointers. Full circle — that’s how we first beat the little bastards,.
