Pakistan greift Kabul und Kandahar an, während die afghanischen Taliban ihre grenzüberschreitenden Angriffe eskalieren

SS: I must have read 1,000 media references between 2001-2021 about how Pakistan saw the Taliban as a useful tool to guarantee ‘strategic depth’ against India. Always just repeated verbatim without analysis or criticism.

And now here we are – feel pretty inevitable.

Wouldn’t Pakistan gain ‘strategic depth’ by – I don’t know – making itself stable and investible and pursuing stability and social and economic progress between it amd its neighbours?
