Pakistan now fears influx of Afghan refugees, as during the Soviet invasion
Pakistan once thought it could have “strategic depth” in Afghanistan against India. Now, it is uncomfortable about India getting close to Iran and Kabul and building up the resistant-to-Taliban Tajik elements in northern Afghanistan.
It is another cut-and-run moment for America in Afghanistan, this time after the longest war in its history. Will Donald Trump repeat in 2019 what Richard Nixon did to south Vietnam in 1973 — leaving when 1,50,000 men of the north Vietnamese army were in occupation of parts of south Vietnam, where people knew they would be massacred at the hands of the “conquerors”?
