In the last few weeks as tensions escalated between Pakistan & Afghan Taliban of Kabul, the world witnessed an immediate strong response from Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia & Qatar. Question is why do all these countries suddenly have a deep affection for the AL Qaeda affiliates of Kabul? Answer is simple.
Answer is Ahmad-al-Sharaa. Everyone wants to have a foot in Syria. US under Biden made a deal with Kabul regime to remove Assad & place their buddy in Damascus as the head of the state. Turkiye supported this out of anticipation to use him to gain influence over the Kurds & to amplify regional leverage against Israel. Saudi Arabia & Qatar wanted their man in Syria too. So everyone invested in Ahmad-al-Sharaa to remove Assad regime. US has been sending $40 million to Kabul every week via NGOs in the name of "humanitarian aid". After losing their strategic military bases in Syria, both Iran & Russia felt a major setback. Putin hosted the exiled Assad as well. However, with the passage of time, both Iran & Russia decided to begin new terms with Ahmad-al-Sharaa to regain influence in Syria. Russia recently got strategic base contract near Golan heights. In the midst of all of this transition, Pakistan's military elite decided to achieve decisive victory against Kabul-sponsored terrorists who have been wrecking the peace & stability of Pakistan for years impeding its economy & destroying its national security. Pakistan conducted major airstrikes in Kabul targeting hot zones of terrorist havens giving TTP a major set back.
India known to have been courting Afghan Talibans suffered from a massive defeat due to these strategic targeted strikes in Kabul. An instant emergent responsive algorithm was launched by India to engage central Asian states, Russia & Iran to develop alternative trade routes for the Kabul regime & transfer large freights of deadly arms to Kabul in a bid to plan a response from Kabul to Islamabad. Everyday Indian trolls are publishing posts online to depict a fake scenario that favors its own strategic national interests against the national insterests of Afghans.
But, at the end of the day, Afghans are selling Ahmad-al-Sharaa to everyone they can think of today. He was just in US playing basketball with American Generals. He was recently hosted by Putin. Has has been welcomed by the Saudi Royals.
In historic times, Syria has been one of the key strategic thrones of the world. Even in the end times, it holds a pivotal position. Since Ahmad-al-Sharaa got appointed in Syria, Israel's position in Syria has strenghtened. Israel gained access to major strategic territories under his regime. What does this tell you? Afghan Taliban have sold Ahmad-al-Sharaa to Israel also.
Trump apparently had no plans to cater to the coercion of an ex-Al Qaeda operative as per MAGA's discretion but he has decided to go with the flow by continuously feeding the wolf just to be able to keep US base as is in SYria. $40 million continue to go to Kabul in exchange for co-operation in Damascus.
Basically, Ahmad-al-Sharaa is extorting favors & money from ....
1) US
2) Russia
3) Saudi Arabia
4) European Union
5) Iran
6) Turkiye
7) Israel
......promising everyone everything at the cost of strategic interest of their key rivals which consequently means that no one gains any benefits except for Al Sharaa's bank account.
This is all being engineered by the Kabul regime who are using Ahmad-al-Sharaa to build a resistance against Pakistan in an upcoming battle.
Most couuntries have invested heavily in Syrian new head for their own strategic interests & want to keep this asset safe & will even push Pakistan to shut up & tolerate more bloodshed from Afghan Talibans just so their personal national goals remain uninterupted. But
from Iran to Turkiye to Qatar to Saudi Arabia- Pakistan already has strong military strategic ties with everyone.
In Iran-Israel war...Pakistan helped Iran significantly.
Turkiye knows that in case of any attack by Israel-Pakistan will be by its side.
KSA has signed a major military contract with Pakistan.
Qatar has been a partner of Pakistan for a while because it was Pakistan that made sure to keep FIFA cup peaceful & it was Pakistan that caught the Indian spies in Doha who were spilling Qatar's state secrets to Israel. When Israel attacked Qatar, Pakistan provided instant support to Qatar.
In a nut shell, on one side we have an unreliable fickle regime of Syria that changes its colors like a cameleon acting like a double agent in collusion with the terrorist-sponsoring Kabul dictators & on the other side we have Pakistan hemorrhaging precious lives & its economy due to terror attacks on its soil from Afghanistan- the same Pakistan that has always tried to unite the muslim countries diffusing the fire in Yemen by getting China involved & that has never let its allies down.
Pakistan made the difficult decision to go to war against Kabul Talibans after trying to engage them relentlessly for years not to mention that Pakistan played a key role in their induction into Kabul hierarchy. If Afghan Talibans can back stab Pakistan so viciously after Pakistan hosted half of Afghanistan for 5 decades & gave them maximum military & diplomatic support-imagine what these same selfish, greedy & narcissitic Afghan Talibans will do to all other countries mentioned who are today trying to protect them.
What is the single most important point of concern is that under these Afghan Talban-mediated Ahmad-al-Sharaa, Israel has become powerful & strong in Syria. So how can a dummy of Israel be a buddy of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar & Turkiye? Just a simple question?
