Pakistan-Af: Operation Khyber Storm

[hydrabadi_arab]

The TTA and TTP can resort to asymmetrical warfare by dispatching suicide bombers into cities within Pakistan. That will be a constant threat to Pakistan’s internal security.

Honestly, the only way we find out whether these strikes were a success if there are long term peace within Pakistan. That remains to be seen.

For every terrorist attack, Kabul/Kandahar will be bombed. And Taliban leadership itself isn't off the table as we have seen in today Kabul strikes.

So let them try. Its only going to get worse from here on out for them.

Hard to believe, since the Afghan Taliban leaders would be signing their own death warrants if any sort of major attack (mass suicide bombings/IED blasts) occurs in our major cities.

My sincere guess is that this will be the new normal, we will again start the carnage if anything big happens in Pakistan

It may or may not happen.

But one thing we know that Taliban and their cousins are not very smart when it comes to strategic thinking.

You, and all Indians, fail to acknowledge facts about Afghanistan in every single one of your little misdirectional monologues about the matter.

Since the independence of the nation state of Pakistan from regions under British imperial control in 1947, and this is the umpteenth time I have delivered this history lesson for the benefit of Indians, Kabul has REFUSED to accept Pakistan's sovereignty and therefore its existence as a sovereign entity.

No Afghan regime is perfect for Pakistan in light of the above policy. For two decades, the Talibs have been the least bad option out of many bad options for Pakistan.

Now let us discuss Delhi's involvement.

The real question is, given the above geopolitical context, why has India decided to pick and choose the single most belligerent entity towards Pakistan at any given time in history to be the latest bedfellow for hindutva?

Delhi can no longer pretend to care for Afghan "development" or "humanitarianism" because the flip flopping between NA and Talibs by Delhi is hard evidence that India is guided solely by the degree of belligerence towards Pakistan when selecting its allies in this godforsaken land.

Let me recap - Pakistan chooses its partners in Afghanistan on the basis of how belligerent that entity is regarding the Durand Line and Pakistani sovereignty.

India does EXACTLY THE SAME.

And yet, we are told that we don't live rent free in the minds of your people!

Honestly I wonder if he's a troll or a genuine guest who's trying to understand Pakistan. Indians are turning out to be very incorrigible and thick-headed - bordering on compulsive obsessive thinking. There is something genuine wrong with Indians. They are incapable of critical thinking.

If this is true ISI CTD IB MI must keep strict vigilance

At this point even 10 such attacks in Pakistan should result in 10 nukes on kabul.

This points to a shism in their ranks and now they are angling for power. No good option. I do trust the Haqqani. They and Pakistan go back a long time unlike the new breed of Taliban.

Things will never be the same again. Pakistan and the Taliban are pretty much enemies now.
Time to move them aside and forge strong ties with the other ethnicities. The whole strategic depth stuff was built on thin ice, especially since many of them had claims beyond the Durrand Line.

Essentially this. Going forward they're a permanent thorn now and being medievil savages, will constantly keep sending their men to fight and die against us. They'll also side with India to bring in heavy weaponry to threaten our forces.

Regime change is a must, though I can't see it happening.

I understand where you are coming from. But when it comes to that, the Pakistani public and its institution would rather sue for peace when Pakistan’s life are lost in numbers.

One thing the Taliban cavemen have an edge on Pakistan is the tolerance of seeing its people dying.

I was almost unalived in one of the Suicide bombings in September 2010 while visiting the Imam Bargah on Imam Ali (as) Shahadat 21 Ramadan. If a single bomber blows himself up - There better ambushes and ambushes of Indians across their country. They are 100% behind this as they want to murder and rape eastern parts of Pakistan.

Godspeed boys, make the night even darker for the enemy

Who asked for a ceasefire?

They need to make up their minds first:

At one hand they are refusing to accept Pakistan bombed them by saying it was an oil tanker. On the other hand they are showing the damages as being due to Pakistani Bombing.

I don't think Pakistan should be agreeing to any ceasefire or peace until TTP is finished and taliban leadership replaced.

They will regroup and attack again after winter and PA will have to destroy their bases again.

Apply the Lebanon model:

Strategy of asymmetric, low-intensity warfare characterized by periodic airstrikes, targeted assassinations, and ground incursions aimed at degrading an enemy's capabilities without committing to a full-scale occupation or prolonged ground war. This approach, often called "mowing the lawn" in Israeli military slang, treats the adversary (typically non-state actors like Hezbollah) as a persistent threat that must be repeatedly "trimmed" to prevent regrowth, rather than eradicated entirely. It's named after Israel's post-2000 experience in southern Lebanon following the unilateral withdrawal from the security zone, where Hezbollah rebuilt its arsenal despite setbacks.

@krash sb

The sensible ones were cheering India and USA's ouster from Afghanistan. And we stand by it.

But now I see many Pakistani members rooting for US getting Bagram back!

No we are not. You are gravely misinformed.

Yep

We have to be very very VERY clear with the Taliban

We can have a ceasefire
We can have peace going forward
We can reopen borders and trade

But any attack on Pakistan by TTP then it's back to bombing Afghanistan, until they keep their word
