The lack of response for Bajaur attack is giving a feeling that GHQ has decided not to escalate with their former lovechild. It's absolutely sad that soldiers are laying down lives while we wasted the whole winter sitting idle. Kabul and Kandahar need to be razed to ground for Taliban to even acknowledge that they have a TTP problem.
They have a plan
After the fall of the Afghan Republic, whatever people think Pakistan removed a MASSIVE, ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE strategic threat to Pakistan
That was the U.S, NATO, India and a slave Afghan Republic all of whom were our enemies
Now the hope was that the Afghans would see sense, understand the need to work together and trade etc and go forward as a region
Afghans however are lannats of the worst kind
Any insecurity you see, GHQ is willing to absorb whilst it turns the screws on Afghanistan to get compliance
Gradually it's kicked out many afghanis
It's banned them from cities and areas and over time this will get worse for them
Border is now closed for trade
It's only been 4 months,
Let it be closed for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years
Let Afghanistan go through a few winters
A few springs and summers where it's trade and exportts and imports are curtailed
Let no air or anything pass through Pakistan
Pakistan doesn't want to get into a war with Afghanistan, not because we won't win
Its because of the waste of resources
The diversion towards Afghanistan as opposed to India
And the fall out internally
It's hoping to absorb any attacks, keep a high level of IBOs and targeted attacks and hit enemies if needed in Afghanistan and in the meantime let others economic and trade actions work
Whether they need to increase the pace can be discussed, but this is the plan they are sticking too
The pain they are causing the Afghans is MASSIVE
Death, destruction and now increasing economic strangulation
Pakistan doesn't want to but it will tear Afghanistan apart of it needs to
