Russia Has New Innovative Strategy to Expand Military Presence in Afghanistan

Russia has had done meticulous table work to pin up corrupted government in Afghanistan. In an interview, Putin disclosed that Moscow would not be cool to treat ISIS terrorists. Afghanistan is a den to boost up militants and anti national activists. Extremists are their strength in this small country. So, new intervention plan has been tailored by Putin administration to put pressure on Afghanistan to shrug off the insurgency. Taliban was aided by Russia to topple the government in Afghanistan. So, confrontation and massive breakthrough are expected to take place in Afghanistan in upcoming years.

Objective of Moscow to Assist Taliban in Afghanistan

The objective of Moscow to intervene in Afghanistan is to escalate its military presence in Asia to teach other nations. Secondly, gradually, Russia wants to be the most powerful country to spread its dominance in the world. The innovative diplomatic strategy has been crafted by Moscow to start playing a new game with Central Asia. Frankly speaking, many nations in Central Asia are rich in natural gas. South Asian countries need to buy petroleum and gasoline products from Central Asia. Afghanistan is the shortcut route to supply the oil and gas to the South Asia through the regions located in Central Asia. To deactivate the supply line, Putin tries to use Taliban extremists to block the supply chain. So in this way, the expansion of oil dependency on Russia and China will be bright. Secondly, Russia is a good weapon seller to cope with America.

​

For this reason, in Central Asia and other parts of South Asia, Russia wants to sell more ballistic missiles, drones, fighter jets and sophisticated laser guided missiles. However, the possibility of delivering Nuke system to small countries in South Asia is very low. Putin came to power in 1999 with few new resolutions to control ME, and Asia. Even Black Sea issue was brought under the media spotlight because of the deployment of Russian soldiers to cross check the maritime zones in Black Sea. US military was invited by NATO to stop frequent military exercises of Russia in Baltic regions. So Russia will not be found in static position without any response. In Syria, Putin used powerful bombs, Iskander missiles, drones, and sophisticated weapons to assist Assad to terminate rebels. So, it is a successful story. In between, the annexure of Crimea with Moscow must be a turning point to Putin to expand its presence in Afghanistan. Russia is a well known oil and gas exporter. Its natural resource helps Moscow to become financially strong to defy other nations.

​

Moscow will step into Afghanistan to accelerate its power. In addition, in this territory, Russia will be a strong competitor to manufacture more devastating weapons for sale. Taliban reclaimed the land of Kunduz which is located close to Kazakhstan border. Taliban increased the ground attack to defeat ISIS controlled regions in Southern part of Afghanistan. However, Taliban’s aggressiveness is not spared by NATO which has welcomed Pentagon to track the hidden activities of Taliban. On the other hand, Russia chalked out plans to accumulate manpower and strength to force NATO to withdraw military from Baltic regions. The Black Sea must be stable without tension.

Moscow to Gather Strength in Afghanistan for Power Escalation

Growing tension and threat from NATO must be a concern for Moscow to reset its diplomatic strategy to hurl back for self-defense. Many political maestros and think tanks opine that Moscow has the resolution to sideline America, which is planning to join NATO after Bresxit. The Black Sea maritime region should not be risky for Putin to handle. Therefore, he changed the diplomatic strategy to pry into domestic affairs of Kabul to renew its existence. The diplomatic relationship between Russia and Afghanistan was typical during Great Game (War tactics to invade neighboring countries for land expansion). That means, Afghanistan was a buffer state between British and Russian empires. Great game legalized the land expansioninvading neighboring countries. At that time, Afghanistan was the region controlled by British and Russian rulers. They were agreed to settle many issues through this buffer state. Later, America came in between to possess more provinces in Central Asia.

​

Russia got a powerful rival to start cold war. Afghanistan didn’t support either Russia or America. These two powerful countries supplied aids to this tiny country. Therefore, Afghanistan was not in a position to challenge America and Russia. Taliban’s military escalation in Afghanistan is not negligible matter. However, Russia has nothing to be worried in this connection. The assistance offered by Moscow to reinforce Taliban must be productive to Moscow to have more strength.

Finally, in this year, there will be more dramatic changes to redefine the significant political gambling with the coming of America to have possession over many regions in Afghanistan. However, Russia will have the least headache to bear because it has strong army with superb surveillance infrastructure to track Taliban and ISIS extremists in Afghanistan. However, ISIS and other extremists are becoming unbeaten to kill people recklessly. If America doesn’t co-operate, maybe Russia will have to be much more meticulous to redesign futuristic diplomatic strategies to regulate Taliban in Afghanistan.
