How Pakistan’s Taliban Bet BackfiredPakistan has long been considered the Taliban's closest state benefactor since the group's inception. The relationship has largely endured through the Taliban's time in and out of power in Afghanistan, but since August 2021, relations seem to have deteriorated sharply. In this video, we take a look at the history between the Taliban and Pakistan, why things are getting worse, and how Pakistan's Taliban strategy backfired.

Pakistan originally supported Taliban and other radical groups to destabilize and extend their influence in central Asia, in the heyday of their power when Pakistan was a country growing economically. They used Islam more and more as a national glue, to counteract the strong divisive tendences of the several ethnic groups composing the country (one of which had succeeded, giving birth to Bangladesh).
American support for Pakistan was an utterly catastrophic mistake
I hope we cut ties with them and become strong friends with India.
Irony that Pakistan rejects Indias border cus it was drawn by the brits, but when Afghanistan says the same, now its an issue. Also 1.7 million is same as population of Gaza, Im not defending Israel, but Pakistan cant do the same thing at same time,
None of this would be an issue had it not been for western colonialism...
