Because snakes are now biting the masters that fed them.
Pakistan is fighting various groups, not just fighters affiliated to the Taliban (the Govt of Afghanistan).
The BLA wants an independent, or autonomous Baluchistan and are the biggest insurgent group. There are various Pashtun groups, who have a long running feud with the Pakistan army
These may be the same tribes that are in the Taliban, but are on the Pak side of the border.
There are Islamist militant groups, backed by the Pak army against India, but have a mind of their own and can turn against their sponsors.
As then-Secretary of State put it Hillary Clinton:
> “You can’t keep snakes in your backyard and expect them only to bite your neighbors”
Because the scorpion always stings the frog.
KARMA is a b*tch
Textbook case of blowback. This whole thing is mess of their own making.
The idea that fostering militancy right on your border might eventually destabilize your own country isn’t some obscure geopolitics, it’s pretty obvious. Their own people are fleeing now.
