    4 countries which are still operationg embessy in #Afghanistan .
    1) Pakistan
    2) Iran
    3) Russia
    4) China .
    They are supporting Taliban and thrown us to the wolves.

    That´s like the Kurds claiming that Russia betrayed them after the americans turn their backs on them for the x time.

    Brilliant movie, simultaneously piss off 4 nearby nations each of whom can effortlessly bomb you out of existence during a coffee break

    Luckily for them they are seen as less​ than a joke so they will let it slide... unless "resistance" in their infinite wisdom interprets the indifference as a sign of weakness and start talking shit again...

    If Iranians can fit different engines on them (their own got disabled), they may get them for their own counter-insurgency in Baluchistan & police/border guards.
    Also they may get those CH-46s & other aircraft.

If they can not exercise control quickly , then they loose the psychological factor . These NRF seem like patriots and are more moderate and have a workable plan of a Republic . Although in the absence of much needed backers by Iran or Tajik or China , their leaders may turn to France for support  ( forgivable under circumstances ) . But looks like a multi - ethnic Afghan Republic , can not be a heavily religious Republic , and therefore can be more progressive . Not too many Mullahs , among their ranks , spoiling the stew !  Iranians should back them as well as Tajik and others .
    Tajakistan supporting the Afghan resistance is probably the most important news. This means there is some de facto Russian support to this as well.


    nomadski wrote:Some SAM against those Pakistan pilots , would be nice .......
    Shooting down a Pakistani F-16 or JF-17 will be difficult because Afghan resistance do not have long range SAMs. Neither does Iran or India. India won't receive the S-400 before December. Even then India at best can force PAF to stay within Pakistani airspace.

    Pakistani Army's Special Operation Group (SOG) soldiers are embedded with the Taliban. These are battle hardened soldiers trained in elite Western and Chinese military institutions. Barring some major foreign intervention in favour of the Afghan resistance they won't be able to hold grond against the Taliban.

    Maybe that's why any comment that is perceived to be pro India and anti Pakistan is denounced by Western media outlets.

    I know that Iranian leadership is far too conservative and cautious and indecisive to see the importance of an Iranian / Tajik northern corridor to China directly through Afghanistan . They are far too hypnotized by their own religious zeal , in overstating the importance of religious sites and Shia religious groups in Iraq and Syria and Lebanon , and subsequent concentration of resources and effort to open a path to the Med sea . And the Chinese are far too hungry , by siding with extremists and supporting  minority tribal rule to ensure their  long term " strategic " economic interests . They eat Dogs after all .....And Cats.....

    But as I have said , a war with the West , makes this route only valuable as the friendly populations residing there and has no value in opening route to Europe . Since Med sea will be under the Yank control . And Iran can reach Europe or some nations there through Russia. But it can not reach the rest of the world by sea , through Persian Gulf . Again because yanks will blockade .

    Similar danger for China . Blockade by sea , will cut China off from Africa and South America . But land route through Asia , will enable trade with Asia and Europe . So China will not be defeated . For both these reasons , China and Iran need a direct route for trade . Routes through Pakistan are good , as long as Pakistan remain in friendly terms . However more routes are needed . One through central Asia and across Caspian to Turkey . And another through Afghanistan to Iran and ME .

    For this reason , then it is important to bring stability to Afghanistan , by supporting all the tribes in security and defence . Taking sides with the aim of containing or defeating any single tribe , will only bring chaos . And even if successful , puts one group in a monopoly position . One that they will misuse .

    So China is on the wrong side , by fighting the northern alliance and supporting Pakistan . They will be killing ethnic Iranians . And Iranians just joined the SCO . So this will lead to ethnic cleansing of Iranians . If I knew this to be true , and if I was 40 years younger , God help me , I would go to Afghanistan and kill as many Pakistan and China " special forces " and send their decapitated heads to their mother's , if they had them . The Chinese then can tuck off back to China !

    Imho, Joe Biden and the Biden Administration is scum!


    Taliban turn US guns on rebels: Jihadists crush last pockets of resistance with high-tech artillery and mortar attacks in battle for the Panjshir Valley

    Taliban is using US weapons to crush last pockets of resistance in Afghanistan

    The rebels mounted a final defence against the new regime in Panjshir Valley

    But they appeared to be outgunned by Taliban fighters using mortar missiles

    Videos showed the Taliban gunmen brandishing US military M4 and M16 rifles

    The Taliban is using advanced weaponry left behind by American troops to crush the last pockets of resistance to its takeover of Afghanistan.

    Fighters led by the country's former vice-president were last night mounting a final defence against the new regime's forces in Panjshir Valley, the only province that the Islamist group has not captured.

    But the rebels appeared outgunned by Taliban fighters using US armoured vehicles, mortar missiles and high-powered artillery.

    Former Prime Minister Sir John Major said the withdrawal of Western forces from Afghanistan was a 'strategically very stupid' decision that he found 'morally incomprehensible';

    The head of Pakistan's ISI intelligence service arrived in the Afghan capital Kabul for talks with Taliban leaders. The group is expected to announce members of its new government within days;

    At least 17 people died when Taliban fighters fired gunshots in the air in Kabul and other major cities following false reports that the battle in Panjshir had been won;

    Taliban forces fired tear gas and beat young women as they staged a protest to demand an equal right to education and jobs.

    National Resistance Front repels multi-day Taliban assault on Panjshir
    BY BILL ROGGIO & ANDREW TOBIN | September 2, 2021 | bill+roggio@gmail.com |



    After weeks of fruitless negotiations between the Taliban’s political leadership and senior leaders of the National Resistance Front in Panjshir, the Taliban launched a multi-pronged attack on the Panjshir Valley beginning on Aug. 31. The Taliban timed the assault on Panjshir for immediately after the U.S. military pulled out of Kabul airport and ended efforts to evacuate American citizens and Afghan allies.

    To this point, the National Resistance Front has mostly successfully warded off the Taliban by virtue of easily defended positions in the mountainous region, inflicting heavy Taliban casualties along the way.

    Prior to the Taliban incursions, the nascent resistance claimed it controlled four districts in Baghlan and Parwan provinces outside of the Panjshir Valley. These districts provided a cushion for the anti-Taliban militia to gather Afghan security forces who did not surrender to the Taliban. [See: FDD’s Long War Journal report, Anti-Taliban resistance make modest gains outside Panjshir.]
    However, the Taliban recaptured the crucial district of Dih Saleh in eastern Baghlan province, which granted the group access to the Khawak Pass that leads into the heart of Panjshir. Along with Khawak, the Taliban sent militants to the southern gate of the Panjshir Valley at the town of Gulbahar, and Anjuman, a critical pass in the north in Badakhshan province. Despite its numerical superiority, the Taliban was not able to break the defensive lines of the resistance forces.

    In the south, the Taliban massed forces in the district of Jabul-Saraj in Parwan in hopes of overrunning the National Resistance Front’s defenses in Gulbahar. Intense fighting waged for two days, as reports emerged of Taliban militants advancing past the initial defensive positions into Shotul district in Panjshir. On social media, pro-Taliban accounts continued circulating videos claiming that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s forces had taken control of Shotul. However, neither Taliban officials nor their more credible social media supporters have posted similar information, indicating that the claims are false. The Taliban does appear to have controlled the pass for a period of time.
    As of this morning, reports indicated that the NRF was able to expel the Taliban from Shotul as fighting continued further south near Gulbahar. National Resistance Front spokesman Fahim Dashty corroborated those reports, stating “the Taliban has spread rumors that they have entered parts of Panjshir. These are psychological operation (PsyOp) and propaganda. We assure full control over all the entrances of Panjshir. [The] Taliban have made multiple attempts to enter Shotul from Jabul-Saraj, and failed each time.”

    Most recent reports suggested that pro-resistance fighters from Andarab have retaken the Khawak Pass, halting further Taliban incursions, although that information could not be independently verified.
    As fighting continues, the lack of declarations of victory by the Taliban and its supporters on social media would indicate that the resistance has the upper hand, at least temporarily.

    Sources on the ground reported that the Taliban is preparing for another offensive as resistance forces say they remain ready to defend Panjshir.

    The so called advanced weapons captured by the Taliban would do exactly diddly squat...

    The Americans had proper training in the use of these super technologies and couldn't defeat the Taliban or ISIS... this new resistance group is weaker than either... but I rather doubt it will make any difference at all.

    Whether the attacks by the Taliban have taken place or not and whether they have lost lots of men or not the resistance is stuck in that one area... the Taliban can easily do what Kiev does and just line up artillery and shell the hell out of them, but the Taliban don't need to worry about support coming directly across a border... there is plenty of territory between this valley and the next country with lots of places for attacks and ambushes... they have time on their side... but I would say the more successful the resistance is the worse the final result will be for them when the Taliban get their revenge because outside powers fail them again.

    But then the women of the west did more than protest for the rights they have... perhaps an army of Afghan women might come to their aide and defeat the Taliban where the US military and HATO has failed... but probably not.

    Tajikistan supporting the rebels does not mean Russia supporting the rebels... just the same as Russia fighting ISIS in Syria is not the same as Russia fighting Turkey or Israel or US and HATO forces in Syria.

    Regarding Iran there would be no reason for the Taliban to stop trade from Asia getting to Iran... if they blocked it they would be cutting their own throats because it would be something they made money on too.

    The only reason they might block trade to Iran would be if Iran started supporting the rebels... then of course they will block trade in response... they are not idiots.

    They will consider any outside power that supports the rebels either openly or covertly as being an enemy... but isn't that just common sense.

    Russia is waiting to see what happens... if the Taliban can get the country operating like a country and forgives its local enemies so that Afghanistan can develop and grow, then it makes sense for Russia to have good relations with the Taliban. If they just murder people and don't bother fixing things then there is no reason to talk to them so other alternatives are then on the table.

    This Northern Alliance is just an Afghan faction made up of the same sort of men in the Taliban, and part of the group that happily murdered Soviet troops in the 1980s... there is no reason for Russia to become their best buddies any time soon especially considering they are currently in a wet paper bag and struggling to fight their way out of it.

    Almost 600 Taliban fighters killed by Panjshir forces on Saturday - spokesman

    More than 1,000 fighters were either taken prisoner or surrendered themselves

    CAIRO, September 4. /TASS/. Fighters of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan, which opposes the rule of the Taliban (outlawed in Russia), have killed about 600 Taliban combatants in the northern Afghan region of Panjshir on Saturday, Front spokesman Fahim Dashty wrote on Twitter.

    "About 600 Taliban terrorists have been killed in various parts of Panjshir since this morning," he tweeted adding that more than 1,000 fighters were either taken prisoner or surrendered themselves.

    Earlier, Taliban Spokesman Bilal Karimi wrote on Twitter that the Taliban had taken control of four Panjshir districts, namely Khinj, Unabah, Shotul and Paryan.

    On Friday, Reuters reported, citing a Taliban source, that the radicals claimed they had taken full control of the insurgent province. Meanwhile, a TASS source in the region said that the national resistance forces refuted these reports.

    Kommersant: Former CSTO chief reveals how Afghanistan crisis will impact Russia and Central Asia

    From 2003 to 2016, Nikolay Bordyuzha was Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and in this capacity, he was involved in curbing the threats from Afghanistan. In an interview with the newspaper, he talked about how the Taliban (outlawed in Russia) takeover of Afghanistan poses a threat to Russia and when the CSTO may potentially get involved.


    He noted that the situation in Central Asia is cardinally changing since a hotspot of instability emerged in the immediate proximity of our allies’ borders. It is not clear how the situation will unfold in the wake of the American pullout, but the Taliban does not control the entire country and is facing resistance in Panjshir in addition to being opposed by rival terrorist groups. A lot will depend on the group’s policy which is now hard to predict.

    Bordyuzha noted that the post-Soviet security bloc may get involved in the event of intervention or a direct threat of armed conflict with a member state of the CSTO, since it has all the necessary instruments to protect its members from any aggression. He believes that Russia should not hurry to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government and should see how the situation develops. He also does not think that Russia should accept any refugees from Afghanistan since it has no obligations to them and the consequences of their arrival in the country are unpredictable. A surge in drug trafficking from Afghanistan is also a likely consequence of the current crisis, since the country needs to sustain its economy by any possible means.

    Iran should not do anything, it would be stupid for Iran to do anything militarily. That would be a trap for Iran, what Iran should do is, engage with the Taliban because the Taliban is the major power in Afghanistan.

    "To the entire international community": NATO members spoke out in favor of the participation of Russia and China in the fight against terrorism in Afghanistan

    Pakistan has border with Iran, & China has borders & road/rail links with Pakistan & Kazakhstan, so Afghanistan can be bypassed entirely by the BRI. China's main interests r her SUAR security & access to mineral wealth in Afghanistan, as well as denying India from getting a foothold there. So, she won't do anything there to antagonize Iran.

    @ Par far

    "...Iran should not do anything, it would be stupid for Iran to do anything militarily. That would be a trap for Iran, what Iran should do is, engage with the Taliban because the Taliban is the major power in Afghanistan... "

    The greater trap is doing nothing . The trap of being geographically cut off from China and central Asia , by Pakistan backed terrorists and extremists . Iran did not tolerate this in Iraq and Syria . Why should it tolerate in Afghanistan ? And I doubt that it will remain passive . They were already talking about setting up a front in Afghanistan . I think they should do this , help northern alliance and Tajik in defence of territory against offensives by Pakistan backed terrorists and Taliban . Supply defensive equipment . Rifles , mines , manpads and SAM . If Pakistan does not withdraw , then send special forces directly against them .

    The Taliban is an extremist group , they are Pakistan proxy . In any dealings with them , Iran should make sure that the project benefits all of Afghans and not Talibs offensives and murders against other tribes . As for example they exchanged water for fuel . This benefits all of Afghans . So we oppose them where they go wrong . And reward them and all Afghans , where they go  right .

    The problem is also with Iran religious dictatorship . Since their world is quite small and ends , where Shia rule ends . They can not therefore give rise to fully democratic forces in Yemen , even if they wanted to , since by nature they are a sect . And if at home they kill socialists , then do we blame socialist Yemen people to reject the Shia domination ? And the same problem in Iraq and Syria . They have the support of Shia , but what of other communities or the secular democrats and socialists ? And are the northern alliance another fucked up religious dictatorship ?....... No . They are More moderate . Democratic with  a non Mullah as leader . God forbid  !  French democrats are more  attractive than mullah central .

    Some in Iran compared the Taliban to the IRGC ! What idiots . But again it is the reactionary religious right wing , limiting Iran and Iran's reach . But not to worry , Iranians will soon be free from reactionary right wing religion . The NRF will follow better examples . Democratic examples . As will The Yemenis and Iraqis and Syrians and.....The Iranian mullahs can ally with terror Taliban and stay in dark ages . LOL . They have a lot in common .

    ".....Pakistan has border with Iran, & China has borders & road/rail links with Pakistan & Kazakhstan, so Afghanistan can be bypassed entirely by the BRI.

    Pakistan border with Iran is terror border . They export Balouch terror to Iran . Best close this border . China can keep border with Pakistan and go to Kazakhstan . But no good coming to Iran . Or ME . With its vast resources . No Afghan is not property of China . Iran can develop alone . If China wants to play politics and war in region against India , then they better stay in Wuhan . Play their war games across own border . In other words China can **** off ......

    China would rather help Pakistan to fight terrorists on & near its Iranian border than in Afghanistan- she isn't going to get sucked in there.
    Afghanistan is a bastard/foster child of the British, Persian & Russian empires, & now it's being partitioned by its neighbors into more manageable pieces.

    Main weapon for Talibans in Panjshir were still tanks T-55 and T-62.

    China apparently is sending " special forces " , into Afghanistan to fight side by side with ISIS and Alqaeeda and Taliban  , in a Pakistani inspired pashtoon expansionist  project against ethnic Iranians . And the Iranian Mullahs are siding with the Afghan Taliban and ISIS and Alqaeeda to fight the ethnic Iranians who are calling for a Democratic Afghanistan ! What a basket case of lunatics . The Afghans are not Bastards . They are weak , and it is not Iranians or  Russians , who wanted to partition or even the English . Iran and Afghanistan were part of the same nation . Russia and English wanted to rule . But Pakistan and now China want to partition . Where are those China special forces ? Are they dressed like American special forces in woman's Burka's , to blend in ? A shame for China communist party and leadership . The same shame for Ayatollah .

    Iran does not need to get trapped in Afghanistan, empires far more  powerful than Iran have failed in Afghanistan.

    Also the Taliban is talking to Iran for some time, when General Soleimani was murdered, a high Taliban delegation went to General Soleimani's house to pay their respects.

    Iran also has been talking to Pakistan as well, along with China.

    Iran is not going to be "geographically cut off from China and central Asia , by Pakistan backed terrorists and extremists" because Pakistanis controlled by China and the Taliban is controlled by Pakistan(for the most part.)


    Why should Iran make sure "the project benefits all of Afghans? This is not Iran's problem, Iran already hostages more than 4 million Afghan refugees.

    Iran has supported Sunni's, Shia's and Christians in Syria and Iraq, there are recorded records where Iranian backed Shia forces provided food to Sunni's and Christians, when they were running away from the western backed ISIS terrorists.

    The Northern Alliance are CIA backed warlords, who benefited from the drug trade, while the US was destroying Afghanistan. Why should Iran back these assholes?

    **** the French Democrats, they destroy other countries, while also destroying their own.

    In the last 10 years, Iran's reach has grown, I don't know where you are getting " limiting Iran and Iran's reach."

    What "Democratic examples" should Iran, Yemen, Iraq and Syria follow?? The western ones?

    Iran is not in the dark ages, it is fairly advanced country, more advanced than the Wahhabi idiot Saudi Arabia.

    Iran is not allies with the Taliban, Taliban is current force that is the most powerful, so Iran needs to deal with them.

    Where did you get "They have a lot in common" part? CNN? BBC?

    China will be very interested in Afghanistan, so they will try to bring stability to Afghanistan. China is already brining Afghanistan into the SCO, has huge projects lined up for Afghanistan but for this to happen, Afghanistan has to stabilize but the CIA backed groups like the the Northern Alliance and the CIA assholes in Panjshir are delaying this.

    Iran alone cannot develop Afghanistan alone, they will need Ruusia and China to help them do it.

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/9/2/afghanistan-taliban-to-rely-on-chinese-money-spokesperson-says

    It is not in Pakistan interests to "export Balouch terror to Iran", it was the US and India responsible for this.

    The fact that you are saying that Pakistan controls Balouch terrorists, shows you are limited in you knowledge. Balouch terrorists want a separate country, which is not in the interests of Pakistan, Iran, China or even Russia. But it is in the interests of US, India and Israel.

    The Tajiks r not ethnic Iranians, just like the Kurds, or the Turkmen, Azeris & Tartars of all kinds r not ethnic Turks. If Afghanistan ever was part of Iran, Cyrus wouldn't be killed there.

    "China apparently is sending " special forces " , into Afghanistan to fight side by side with ISIS and Alqaeeda and Taliban" this statement is incorrect, the Taliban knows that if they support Western backed ISIS and Western backed Alqaeeda, they will not get Russian and Chinese support.

    Who are the "ethnic Iranians who are calling for a Democratic Afghanistan"? Iran does not care about this, as long as Afghanistan is stable.

    "But Pakistan and now China want to partition', give your sources for this.

    China, Russia and Iran want a stable Afghanistan, they don't care if it is "Democratic" or not.
