Re: India ‘financed problems’ for Pakistan via Afghanistan: Chuck Hagel
this might be true but why is that? pakistan is effectively a non-party to the issue at this point. there is no plausible outcome to the conflict that leaves pakistan better off than the status quo. accession to pakistan has been off the table for a long time so there is no prospect of being a territorial beneficiary. if we assume the solution is an independent kashmir valley, why would pakistan be so invested in this outcome? it is a purely emotional investment. that south asian peace is being held hostage to emotions is quite bizarre.
