Obviously she does not want to implicate the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Army

[@alihashim9611]

Ukraine fighting Russia just on will power (till 6 months ago ). Afghanistan's getting money and firearms for 22 years . And Blaming America , Pakistan but not them self at all. They are like...(how can I be the problem??)

[@THUGPUTIN]

Trillion dollars have been wasted in Afghanistan... These Afghanistan weapons came to kashmir, central Asia, Iran, Syria and Iraq... US actually controlled everything from Pakistan.. Now, in 2022..on one hand give Iran nuclear power and then create Arab NATO on other hand so that they can buy USA weapons to save themselves from nuclear iran... Now USA has started it's Shia revolution (Iran) vs sunni (saudi/uae/Isreal:Jew) survival story going forward.. If USA is soo bad then why is Islamic countries falling again for US tactics? Simple answer, All Islamic countries still want to rule and after power... They will sell their soul for money..

[@manteshsharma9351]

That's because Afghans lack nationalism. They can fight selflessly for Islam but not the country.... Same applies on Pakistan. Their military runs on doctrine driven primarily by Islamism. You need one foundational narrative to give life for. For Ukrainians it is Ukrainian nationalism. Till 1980s in Palestine, nationalism was a big thing that's been declining since then. The day Afghans start binding up in the name of Afghan nationalism no self stupidity will make them suffer just like this.

[@shashidharjanardhan65]

All agreements with Afghans & Pakisthanis are not even the worth of the paper on which it is written

[@debabratabanerjee7461]

Pakistan will get its IMF loan approved. Afganista may also get aid if they had sold him out.

[@globalpoliticswithmaaz2666]

Stupid analysis, loan was approved last month already

[@ranjitpal9937]

The Guy was Real A Nut. Please Bring Someone Who Some Grey Matter

[@ahmadmuzaffar8914]

yes..this afghan man is best for commmondo comic channel

[@slamcan2k]

These are 'the experts' on the subject. Reslly full of hot air. Neiyher insights nor information we dont already have.

[@aamirrizwan2011]

Original question/ title was answered in 1 second, Ayesha was so evasive, Matin was angry but rightly so.

[@msomayya2828]

god bless you

[@ahsanmohammed1]

They were prisoners. Taken out when needed. Why did he expose himself in the city and in the balcony? Fake news.

[@ravimathews1973]

What a terribly mediocre discussion! Mateen was the shining exception to this. Ayesha Siddiqua was just rambling w/o end.

[@aamirrizwan2011]

At 9:45 Ayesha dealt the question brilliantly!!! Collusion and all that .

[@biswaroopmaiti2943]

Just saying period after a sentence doesn't make it any true.

[@gunjangadodia4342]

Mr. Miten talking logic

[@Alienfromotherplanet]

When Osama was eliminated, I turned my attention to the second in command. I use a system based on the self-developed method to locate the subject. I worked on this method for several weeks and found him living in GHQ Rawalpindi quarters. He had full protection from ISI along with a bulletproof car. He was assigned the rank of Brigadier in the Pakistani Army. He had a bounty on him to the tune of $25 million payable to whoever gives information to CIA. In his case, someone from within the Pakistan establishment shared the information with the CIA. Before this target was eliminated GEN. Bajwa had a telephonic conversation with the US state department officials. One can connect the dots after reading my comments.

[@dineshpratapupadhyay6583]

Some say that Pakistan sold Zawahiri for the IMF bailout

[@Alienfromotherplanet]

@@dineshpratapupadhyay6583 Gen. (Retd.) Parvez Musharraf wrote in his book that after 9/11 his Government at that time sold not one but several terrorists to USA in exchange of money. All you have to do is read the history of Al Queda and their leaders than connect the dots than picture will become clear to you.

[@lalithapadmanabhan9250]

Lousy and medioçre programme by the so called experts.

[@venkataraghotham7586]

There will be consequences for the collaboration and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan will bear the brunt of the wrath of the AL Qaeda

[@sankarsatchidanandam8730]

It was a good discussion, Jyoti. But it was spoilt by including this lady - Dr. Ayesha. She was not at all objective and seemed to be so protective of Pakistan’s designs and misdeeds. You are better off with more objective and better thinking participants!

[@msomayya2828]

how profound

[@AK-xd6uu]

Why so afraid in naming Pak involvement?

[@msomayya2828]
