Thank you for this report. I had not yet read anything about this conflict. This is yet another war with roots in British actions. The British have been a force for evil starting well before the US and continuing to the present as demonstrated by their reliable support for mass murder. A pox on their government! I hope the Greens take over (though I'll still be very skeptical about the direction of the country given its horrific history.)
Pinball war/tilt Indonesia says Gaza “Board of Peace” talks paused due to Iran war. Hegseth & Caine downplay drones. Gaza under total siege when Israel cozies alongside Trump's air campaign la bomba in Iran. Slotkin displays her CIA chops, "I mean, we're in it,..." code name The Front Nine. Tee from satrap to sand trap,"Shield of the Americas" Doral Miami a relaxing Back Nine countering Chinese aba daba abacus. Let us now raise the banner of repression in Pakistan v Taliban, crank up the military industrial spitoon.
The conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan is nothing new; it has existed for more than half a century. What is happening today is in many ways the consequence of long-standing policies. The very groups that Pakistan once trained and supported to destabilize Afghan governments have now turned around and bitten the hand that fed them. This is not a defense of Pakistan—in many ways it is the predictable result of those policies. For decades, Pakistan has been linked to the training and support of militant networks not only connected to Afghanistan, but involving fighters from places as far as Morocco, Serbia, and Tajikistan. Numerous books and investigations—from works like Inside the Jihad by Omar Nasiri to the reporting of journalists such as Jeremy Scahill—document how these networks operated. The reality is that Pakistan cannot truly win this war. If it loses, it will be a major humiliation for a nuclear power and a key regional state. But even if it wins militarily, the destruction and instability could once again create the same vacuum that allowed militant factions to flourish in the past, much like the collapse of Afghanistan after the fall of Dr. Najibullah. That environment eventually produced global consequences—from attacks like 9/11 to bombings in London and Spain. A quarter century later, the world is still dealing with those consequences. Pakistan, as a nuclear state and regional power, must recognize that it carries global responsibilities, and those responsibilities cannot be solved through bombing and military force alone.
The cycle is painfully familiar: instability created during decades of war is now used to justify more cross-border bombing in the name of “security.” Washington may have withdrawn troops from Afghanistan, but its regional strategy still rewards militarization and treats Pakistan as a useful security partner. Meanwhile, civilians along the Durand Line are the ones who keep paying the price.
War in the East, war in the West.
War up North, war down South
Everywhere is war.

Blame the instigators of war everywhere: the US and Israel.
Wow - that is an odd comment. You don't think it's just some developmentally stunted co-religionists going at it?
I would love it if the US and Israel could trigger these retards into killing each other.

Warms my heart to hear about the Shitys and Sunnis kicking the crap out of each other. Like the Hatfields and McCoys killing each other.
Let's hope the both beat each other to extinction!
Violence is the most contagiuos disease- another form of true trump derangement
