Pakistan had tried to be reasonable, especially at the start, however India was a red line for us
And the Indians knew it, so they spent billions in trying to establish a network within Afghanistan of spy houses, embassies etc
The Afghan Republic rather then listen to understand our issues , purposely used India as a threat and a punishment for Pakistan and openly threw the relationship in our face
The U.S at best was a tone deaf superpower, only concerned about its own issues and we had multiple issues with them from Raymond Davis to the border incident
All in all, Pakistan couldn't allow these multiple players to create havoc for it and planned for their defeat
Pakistan hoped for the best for the Taliban, that necessity for trade and ports and food supply etc would temper their Afghanisms, but at the end of the day the Afghans will be Afghans and a source of constant fassad and deshatgardi and headaches, like they have always been
But as I say above, their is major difference from the long term strategic threat to our interests that the Afghan Republic, India, U.S and NATO held compared to the Taliban
The fallout isn't nice, but it's manageable and I'm sure the establishment have long term plans in place on how to wear down the Afghans and Baloch terrorists threat.
For a nation of 250 million, a few hundred people dying in this mindless terrorism isn't going to bring us down, but a Afghan Republic with India and U.S could cause major damage and had to be dealt with
The way I see it Pakistan took on the USSR, USA,NATO, India and the Afghan republic and came out on the other side
NO other nation can claim that
Blaming to india - you will find nothing.
You just need to look the Pakistani leaderships and their blunders from 1970s when they decided to support USA and joined the cold war and inteferrred in the internal matter of Afghanistan.
You wanted as a pet dog " Taliban" that follow you and Afghanistan supposed to be your backyard..... Years of support to Taliban even going against the USA after 9/11.
Now, even all went the way you wanted but still blame on india - surprising...
