US in touch to use India as staging ground for strikes in Afghanistan: Antony Blinken tribuneindia.com/news/world/us-…
“I’m talking northwest India as a potential because Qatar and Doha are just a little bit too far,” said Blinken, when asked at the hearing by Congressman Mark Green whether the US had reached out to India as a possible staging area for aerial strikes on any terrorist haven
that might crop up in Afghanistan.
Blinken refused to elaborate, observing that, “Let me just say generally we’re deeply engaged with India across the board with regard to any specifics about over-the-horizon capabilities and the plans that we put in place
We should welcome US Drones in India for attacks on Terror outfits on ISIS-K, Qaeda etc in Afghanistan & at the same time leverage it for to get better access to technology & machines both. Seek a mega armed drone deal from USA for it in return.
After all we have a principle stand on Terror Groups like Qaeda, ISIS from Afghanistan who are anyway threat to us. Makes all the sense to co-ordinate with USA on it & break the Pakistani leverage on America for good while deepening the QUAD.
And i guess its time we end up playing a big role on world table to be taken seriously. Over the Horizon capabilities would be against other terror groups not Taliban who they put in power.
