Now that Afghan theater is controlled by a sort-of-an-ally, should we revert to our past behavior?
ie. giving refuge to militant organizations, using talib to fight in Kashmir?
This brings terrible disrepute to our country in the world. Often these militants turn against the state or get into stupid sectarian rivalries.
I believe this policy has been terribly ineffective and self-defeating.
Instead - we should focus on trying to convince the Taliban to soften their stance and to allow railroads, highways to connect central Asia with cpec and of course single out India along with their broken akhand bharat dreams.
now with Iran willing to work with Taliban, china-Iran investment, pipelines from Russia -- this is a tremendous opportunity to make Pakistan an international hub for commerce instead of terrorism. Cant be done with bombs going off in every city and town.
rather than focusing on Kashmir, we should secure our western border, take care of BLA and TTP. We need peace and order.
I am afraid the other approach will simply get us on FATF blacklist, EU/US shitlists.
I wish we could be economically strategic for a mere second.
