    This is a nicely balanced discussion of the implications of a growing Indian influence in Afghanistan. I think the author does a fair job of describing the perspectives, interests and motivations of the various parties, as well as potential consequences.

    Personally I see no good that can come from a US enabled growth of Indian Influence in Kabul. The Indian position that "they have no exit strategy" should be chillingly telling as to how they see the opportunities of the current situation.

    "The modern COIN mindset is when one arrogantly goes to some foreign land and attempts to make those who live there a lesser version of one's self. The FID mindset is when one humbly goes to some foreign land and seeks first to understand, and then to help in some small way for those who live there to be the best version of their own self."
