The Deep State’s Failure Of Will And The Next War
The recent increase in violence in Afghanistan, following the complete withdrawal of US and other foreign troops in August of 2021 (also known as “The Fall of Saigon: The Desert Edition”), is blowing up in Pakistan’s face, as the Taliban increasingly cut deals internally with former Afghan National Army troops to form their “Grand Army” (which they are in desperate need of), and their support to Pakistan’s nemesis, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terror group has increased, leading to a rash of border clashes with Pakistani security forces. The Pakistani military establishment certainly feels this way, to the point of expressing their discontent in rather strong fashion.
None of this is surprising to anyone with any knowledge of the region’s recent history. Once everything “came off the rails” in 1978, strangling an Afghan renaissance in its crib, the country has descended into a seemingly bottomless pit of violence and terror. What is clear is that, US interference and interventions aside, Zbigniew Brzezinski’s “Grand Chessboard” is about to bear its next bitter harvest.
Of course, neither his children, nor those of people like him, are typically the ones who have to fight these wars.
Yours do.
