I think it's a joke that you think you can conduct espionage operations in Pakistan without the US's presence, you don't have the same kinds of links Pakistan has with Afghanistan. Pakistan is 'ethnically the same', the Pashtuns are the highest ethnic population of Afghanistan, & Pakistan has more than twice the number of Pakhtuns in Pakistan. Furthermore, Pakistan & the ISI knows every inch of Afghanistan, knows it inside out. You just don't have the same type of command in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, I see very troubling times for India, as China & Pakistan will team up inside Afghanistan & invest there in its natural resources, which will bring prosperity for the Afghan citizens, as well as maintaining a Pakistan friendly government (probably the Haqqani network sharing power with some other faction). India will be eaten alive if it tries to use Afghanistan soil against Pakistan. If the US couldn't win the war inside Afghanistan, what chance does India has?
