Your mistaken
I don't see potential in any Afghan
The Afghans have been our enemies from day one , regardless of what we did, how many we took in, who we helped them against, they are enemies who seek our destruction
Their is NO wavelength or common ground, they are too rock headed to change
So once you understand that, the BEST you can do is try to manage the problem as opposed to try and find a solution that does not exist
Is the Taliban dangerous? - YES, they are Afghans after all, they will cause fassad and they will try to hurt Pakistan regardless of what we do
BUT
iS it better to have a isolated Taliban and Afghanistan
Or is it better to have a Afghan Republic just as hateful as any Afghan, supported by the U.S, NATO and India and accepted by the world?
I'd go with dumb fcuk isolated Afghans
If the Taliban Afghanistan shows zero interest in economic development, even worse than Pak, how do you manage the relationship.
Its a really unique problem Pak has, you have a hostile expansionist population who are also really backward and want to go further back.
If you fight them you risk loss because you will lose the will
You invite economic discourse you risk crime
You offer peace you are weak
Do you just pay them off but then maintain the right to respond to bad behaviour?
