Brigadier, retired, Tipu Sultan (Defense Analyst):

The incumbent Afghan government is a puppet regime in the hands of the United States. The United States has lost the war in Afghanistan. The situation of the region has visibly changed in recent years. The influence of Russia and China is increasing in the region. The new government in Islamabad has come with a foreign policy based on national interest. The previous governments failed to take appropriate steps to stop India to use Afghan soil against Pakistan.
