Had Pakistan not interfered in Afghanistan supporting the Mujaheedin against the "Godless Commies", Soviet Union would never have entered the country in support of the then government. And neither would have US jumped into the conflict by pumping money through ISI.

Afghanistan would have progressed, but for Pakistan's short sighted, misguided, blunder of a "strategic depth" policy.

Nonsense. Afghanistan was only "progressive" under Soviet influence and Perhaps the Sikh empire. other than that it's a country of wilderness. Pakistan only interfered because Afghanistan was interfering in Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. Do you really believe Pakistanis would sit there and allow a foreign country to try and steal half it's territory?

Funny how you Indians always band together with Afghans in taking pot shot at Pakistan. While Pakistan's closest ally in the region is China, all india has is a backward medieval country for a regional ally.

its a dead thread anyways...

If afghania was such a prosperous paradise before soviet union what was preventing them from taking KP.Surely with such prosperity comes huge power and, with gun culture and soviet help they could have easily invaded KP. Point to Ponder.

and even more if it was such a heaven what was keeping KP for even demanding succession.

Not really. Look how modernized Iceland is but militarily they are nothing. Heck Pakistan has more soldiers than Iceland's
entire population. Modernization and military power are connected but they don't entirely rely on one another.

Pakistani people dont want any contact with Afghanistan, infact a 3 layer fence along the whole border would be fine, 10 meter high, so no Afghan cross over to Pakistan and no Pak cross over to Afghanistan.
