My heart goes out to citizens of Afghanistan and personnel who are stranded and suffering in this endless conflict.
US was going to withdraw from the region, it was known and negotiated for many months.
It's immaterial whether USA's assessment of Taliban's strength was wrong or deliberately misleading.
This hasty poorly planned withdrawal of troops, closure of US embassy will send spine chilling signal to US allies all across the world from Ukraine to Taiwan to Japan.
This sudden change of events will weaken US brokered peace in middle east, embolden China in South East sea
and will make a strategic partner like India on USA's word about partnership and mutual interest.
Taliban has intellectually infiltrated much of Pak Military. So, India- Pakistan conflict might get heated up in coming months.
India should take a stand, independent from US when it comes to Afghanistan and for that matter Pakistan.
It's time to prepare our defense.
Imagine if we have to leave our homes in few hours notice or we have prospects of getting killed in a mindless conflict.
