Managing Afghanistan
Afghanistan has long been a source of concern for Pakistan, with a history of animosity between the two nations. Despite the challenges posed by the Soviet and American occupations, Pakistan has maintained a decent relationship.
The current Taliban regime has continued this animosity, displaying a long-held dislike for Pakistan. The history of Afghan animus is well-documented, with previous leaders like Zahir Shah taking a more subtle approach, while current leaders are more open and hostile.
There is a growing sentiment within Pakistan that it is time to reevaluate the relationship and respond in a manner that Afghanistan will understand. Historically, nations have defined their territories and established defensible borders, such as Czarist Russia and Iran.
The history of Afghan animus is well established.
Nations have established their own territorial limits, and hence their borders, at various times in history.
