How Pakistan's Frankenstein 'Taliban' Turned Against Its Maker Pakistan-Afghanistan War

from INSIGHT TODAY · host Matt

For decades, Pakistan treated jihadist groups as strategic weapons, arming, training, and sheltering them to exert influence over Afghanistan and the region. What Islamabad once called its “strategic depth” has turned into a living nightmare. The very proxies Pakistan nurtured with American support during the Soviet-Afghan war are now striking back, targeting Pakistani soldiers and civilians along the Durand Line. The weekend clashes, the deadliest since the Taliban’s 2021 takeover of Kabul, have exposed a bitter truth: Pakistan is now fighting the monsters it helped create, and the consequences could be catastrophic.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/insight-today--6633039/support.Don’t miss our latest episodes! follow us to stay updates news everyday.
