So you are saying Pakistan is so powerful that it threatened the world with radio-active waves and everyone got scared? And didn't put sanctions on Pakistan? This "belief system" is childish to say the least.
The only reason why the Talibans got to where they are, are primarily:
1: US withdraw that was hasty and confusing to say the least
2: A total collapse of the Afg. NA. Didn't allow or provide anytime for any outside intervention and it was immediate.
3: Within days, the country was taken over, leaving no chance of even having the ability to provide outside support as India or any other country, would need to setup supply chain and it takes months.
4: Pure luck, that was on Taliban's side. All assessments went dead. I believe the idea was, the Afghan NA would hold Talibans at bay for about 1.5-3 months. It was enough time for outsiders to setup their militias and networks (like it's always been). But the sudden and immediate collapse of the NA, allowed no such opportunity.
Some of the logistics part is true but majority of this is wish washy wishful post.
I didn't say threatened the world but that nobody wanted to engage Pakistan over Afghanistan to interfere with her economy and stragetic interests.
1. Example remember when Turkey blocked Russia in Idlib and north Syria this could have turned into major conflict but this was not worth the effort for both to engage over Idlib and north Syria.
2. The same thing happened in Libya when Sisi set a red-line in Sirte the Turks could have taken the city ones but this could have lead to direct Turkish-Egyptian collision it was not worth the effort for Turkey.
3. Also not to forget China once blocked the US in North Korea. They wanted to advance and take all of Korea but once the Chinese entered they did an assesement analysis and saw that it was not worth the risk engaging China for North because of the cost and effort it will come at hence why there is north and south Korea
This is geopolitical abc, 123 you only fight major war when it is absolute necessary and you don't engage and fight a nuclear state over things that is not necessary last resort. Hence nobody wants to cross Pakistan's red-lines because it is not worth the effort to engage Pakistan and create such a major war over their redlines and economic and stragetic interests of that said country hence everyone will just go and mind their bussiness. It is loss-loss scenario and not worth the effort
