[@beyondgalaxies3960]

Great Mr general,this video is 5 years old back, today after 5 years your every single word is proven true. Bravo

[@M_Hamza]

Exactly. Same goes for General Hamid Gul prediction of Afghanistan.

[@arminius6506]

Believe me or not.... This crap was told to the US politicians everytime they'd visit Pakistan but they didn't believe and left with the impression "this guy is playing double game against us" Instead US politicians chose those Pakistanis who spoke what US wanted to hear "everything is good sir, throw some more billions and everything will get fine"

[@pranaysingh586]

This man is very honest. His book with Indian intel chief brought trouble for him but he continued with his stand. Appreciate this man

[@Stealth0978]

This general is very intelligent and brings an interesting view to the table

[@muhammadfaran1736]

He gives an honest opinion I believe.

[@nassermj7671]

Well said. All our ISI chiefs are some of our top military minds.

[@TalhaMohsin]

Everything he said has proved true

[@TripWireEcho-oh6ot]

oh man this guy is an ocean of knowledge about the situation what's happening around but that girl is so patient

[@randianmedia4730]

So Pakistan provided strategic depth to Afghanistan but Afghanistan providing strategic depth to India... shame on you Afghanistan

[@donyaxworld3940]

Randian Media - listen you dall khoor, Pakistan did what it could for its own gain. Pakistan has done no favor to Afghanistan. They feared of Afghanistan growing powerful in 70s and they proposed the Mujahiden idea to U.S. U.S wanted Russian/ soviet fall and Pakistan wanted weak Afghanistan. So they spread propaganda to Afghan villagers and supported the fighter with weapons to destroy their own government. So here we are. If afghans do the same to Pakistan then Pakistan deserves a fall.

[@hajimusa9326]

randian media please do not blam the afghans blame yoursel and your dissbrave army first you were thinking afghanistan will be your 5th province which mean you have hurted you own leg by your own ax,,,, secondly you re read the history of your army chief perveez mosharaf who let your country and your airports to americans and nato to use for distroying the afghan land so americans bombed afghanistan from your land and bombed like 57000 times and your were getting dolors by the afghan bloodh whih caled colation fund which was bilions of dolors yearly we cab forgive but can not forget that

[@Gre3k]

Yes he very intelligently got 93000 of his assholes surrendered 🤣

[@hujjatullahsahib380]

Gen. Asad and his ilk are clearly on top of issues facing Pakistan. He is absolutely right on playing more than a double game with the U.S. and not getting consistent good faith and cooperation from the U.S. Any other country facing a similar geopolitical mess like Pakistan would, I am sure, not play a double but many multiple games even just to survive, let alone prosper. The Gen. was right that to simply get foreign funds the govt. must not antagonize groups that enjoy the support of respectable sections of the nation ! Despite this, I believe, only the deep state in both the U.S. and Pakistan know exactly what is going on and when, and if, things will pan out positively well for the peoples of the entire region that is lagging far behind most of the other regions of the world !

Very well conducted interview and what honest responses. Wish Pakistan had such caliber soldier in place of Musharraf. Such clairty of viewpoints and strategy. What a marvelous states man he could have made. No wonder Mushsy is no where near his intellect level.

[@arminius6506]

Musharaf made up to the hierarchy which means they're the same level of product from a same system. But 80s and early 90s generation was confindent.... Musharaf and his lot turn out to be West worshippers, how can we forget Musharaf crusade to become Atatürk

[@MustafaRehman768]

[@lingeswar.d2990]

This General was the main architect of deadly cross border insurgency in Kashmir in 1990 using battle hardened fighters of AF theatre. Good thing about this interview, he openly acknowledges the duplicitous way in which Pak Army and ISI operates who are the true rulers of Pakistan. This same strategic ploy of DUPLICITOUS was cunningly executed continuously by PAK ARMY & ISI to kick US out of Afghanistan in 2021.

[@mustafaamir5931]

He reminds me of commander pixies from attack on titan.

Amazing. I get why American does not want to leave Afghanistan. How will the make it palatable to the American people?

[@shahidmian8389]

The host is patient

[@bhartia107]

I have respect for Mr.Durrani as a true Soldier of his country Pakistan. As an Indian, I appreciate an intelligent enemy. I think his logic is based on Predictive Modelling minus Emotion which includes religion, beliefs and personal elements of the society used as attributes of possible outcomes of a "Long War Algorithm". I think he may be correct technically in ideal conditions which seems to be an Achilles heel. He is counting the chickens even before the eggs have been hatched. Good planning and success for brief period of time but a powerful backfire is "inevitable". The sad part is he would have been an asset to his country through his intelligence had he been a Politician or an Administrator. Unknowingly he has sown seeds of destruction in his Algorithm without considering intelligence of others.

[@mazhussain3470]

Pedantic drivel...with all due respect.

[@bhartia107]

[@MuhammadIlyas-tt4eg]

ISI the best of the rest

[@sendakan666]

The General is correct in that the current Kabul based government is weak and could be toppled. Also that the only long-term solution in Afghanistan is a political compromise. But he has, understandably, been quiet on how short-sighted tactical actions by the Pakistan military have deeply disturbed the fabric of Afghanistan. The situation at present is not bright, but I hope things stay at least peaceful enough for Afghanistan's economy to get back on track

[@shashankethane]

I almost agree with everything the ex chief said but can the Pakistani state sustain this policy.

This man could’ve used all this energy to build a better relationship with his neighboring nations instead of creating enemies. Millions lost their lives in process as he is responsible for it. Calling himself a Muslim but thinks as a devil. He didn’t learn from British = Divide them and rule them. He could’ve United people and governments to build a powerful United Nations.

He knows more than you And I think he has done a great job. What you are saying is what you have started beliving in by living in the delusional world. Its more complicated and what you hear is just a surface of it.
