Regime change is pointless because under the Taliban you at least have an unrecognised govt to strike at any time.If they want to remain hostile then Pakistan just just start taking chunks out of their territory or regime change if they want to manufacture an ally.
I don't think they will come to their senses unless Kabul is carpet bombed.
Just humiliate the regime where even its own domestic support base cant respect it, kill a few major leaders that will obviously be replaced. Do ground incursions and destroy a few villages that house TTP operatives/bases. Etc.
Let Northerners have de facto self control of the North but don't give them the government. Weak unrecognised Taliban is better.
