[Side note]: the new cloud flare system is so bad. I've lost entire comments to it. I had to rewrite this 3 times.
@Oldenwisdom...قول بزرگ
>Maybe I shouldn't have quoted you so let's see what you said...
You really shouldn't have, because now you're about to get an actual history lesson.
>Britain and then Pakistan were belligerent forces in Afghanistan. you should realize that Pakistan emerged as a non entity on what Britain agreed to on its colonized lands. They had made different accords with Afghans. Afghanistan NEVER had the upper hand. They had a botched claim undone by British departure from the region. And subsequently Pakistan became the bulwark and later conduit for war in Afghanistan against Soviets.
First off, Pakistan didn't exist when the king of Afghanistan ad the British CAME TO A MUTUALLY AGREED UPON BORDER LINE which was respected until the birth of Pakistan.
Pakistan literally held a plebiscite in the regions to see if they wanted to remain independent, or join Pakistan. The answer was they joined Pakistan.
Not to mention that in 1960, the local Pashtun tribes were the first to fight against an attempted Afghan invasion (this was a second attempt)
When the question of Pakistan was brought to the UNGA, Afghanistan was the sole single entity to vote against Pakistan.
The Afghans insisted on a fake, non-historical nation called Pashtunistan (which has never existed in any point in history), which they insisted only be made on Pakistani territory. When Pakistan said why only Pakistan, why not Afghanistan as well, the Afghans responded by attacking Pakistan militarily (and being repulsed).
Afghanistan DID have an upper hand in the beginning. They had a fully equipped military, while the Pakistan army was still forming, and had almost all its field guns confiscated by the British and handed over to India. Afghanistan, during Pakistan's birth, attacked then as well, and were repulsed by local tribes.
AFGHANISTAN HAS LAUNCHED MULTIPLE MILITARY INVASIONS AGAINST PAKISTAN, COMPLETELY UNPROVOKED, AND LOST EVERYTIME BECAUSE THE LOCAL TRIBES DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT AFGHANISTAN.
FYI, the main reason why the ISI even exists is because of Afghanistan's constant aggression. Even India isn't as aggressive as Afghanistan is towards Pakistan.
And another thing, Afghanistan tried to invade British India multiple times, the second invasion attempt is what led to Afghanistan suggesting a border. So no, it was Afghanistan that was the belligerent.
>Taliban are yet to find recognition. They will. Pakistan that holds the upper hand now only stands to lose should they manage a working solution to obviate Pakistan. What then?
>The arrogance is misplaced.
Taliban can't even hold themselves together. Fractures are already appearing.
Afghanistan has NEVER truly been a united country, under 1 flag.
Its wishful thinking on your part.
>The continuity of that said reign was lost. The geographical boundaries were settled with or without their consent. Pakistan is not result of negotiations with Afghans. And that claim has no baring on current inhabitants should they willingly cede... until then come get it! So you know the value of such statements... worth multiplied by zero. But that same point could be used by Pakistan to lay claim to rest of Afghanistan.
>To victor belongs all spoils. Pakistan is result of British colonization and that is where it ends... let them know.
Pakistan need not have negotiated with Afghanistan, as the border was already settled due to international law, and border treaties between Afghanistan and the British (which according to IL) Pakistan inherited. By the way, it was the Afghan's idea to have a border in the first place.
>no one said they have to... free people chart their own course. Colonized reconcile with new reality. If PPakistan wasn't this thoroughly subdued they would be very proud of their heritage too... irrespective of different or similar it is to the one next door.
>The fact is they have always been such and managed this result. It is something for them to be proud of...
Pakistanis are proud of their heritage.
You are again saying a whole bunch of nothing.
A nation that isnt cohesive in any way isnt a united nation.
Entire regions in Afghanistan ignore the central authority of Kabul and have for generations. They act as independent nation states within Afghanistan.
A civilization-state cannot function in such a manner.
They absolutely do, and no amount of you denying it will change this.
>ANA is a totally different subject matter. The agency was never there... it was a foreign institution on foreign dime. It could have formed its niche over the decades or centuries to come but was the colonizer willing to stay and foot the bill
This is a cope comment. The ANA was a local institution, it was manned by locals, and while it's main funding was foreign, a lot of it was also funded by whatever taxes Kabul could collect.
It is NOT a different subject, you're only saying this because you have no answer to this, and it doesn't suit your narrative.
>Wrong again. Some of the taliban foremost leaders are ethnic Tajiks.
"foremost"
What a joke.
They got 1 to 2 guys, who are mainly kept on the sidelines. 90% of the military and government positions are manned by Pashtun. The 1 Hazara guy they had, rebelled because they were fucking his people over, and then killed him for trying to fight for his people's rights.
Everything I've said is factually based, and can easily be googled.
What you wrote is nothing more than your personal feelings and wishes.
