But that’s my point: if the US already has a puppet government, why would it waste time and money to attack it’s own puppet? It’s far more likely that people who have brutalized women and minorities in Afghanistan are now expanding into Pakistan.

It is not attacking its puppet it is attacking the Pakstani state. From a military point of view one reason could be to open a second front and to divert the recruits from attacking Afghanistan into attacking Pakistan instead. Another reason could be to pressurise the Pakistani state, another reason could be to get freedom of movement in FATA, another reason could be to try to discredit the Taleban movement in Afghanistan. Another reason could be to try to get the Pakistani military to improve the defence of its bases where sensitive weapons maybe deployed.
