In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to “choose friendship” over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. “War brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,” said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights record—especially on women’s rights—called Russia’s decision “courageous” and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscow’s move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West.

India-Pak War BIG REVEAL: In May 2025, as India-Pakistan clashed, one country watched from the sidelines— and probably profited too : China.
Beijing armed Pakistan with J-10C jets, PL-15 missiles, and HQ-9 defense systems — while feeding Islamabad the real-time intelligence. The result? A live battlefield to test Chinese weapons against India — without risking a single Chinese soldier.
This is China’s "Borrowed Knife" doctrine in action — k!ll your enemy using someone else’s hands.
