Contrary to what people assume..Afghanistan has never exploited Pakistan’s weaknesses..if this blatant pro India bias was true..in 1947 and 1971 Afghanistan would have attacked Pakistan..in both cases Pakistans situation would have been untenabe. While there is a very significant anti-Pakistani lobby in Afghanistan..some with real grievances because of Pakistans role post 1989 ..a lot of it is posturing.

Didn’t they try with some lashkars or whatever they called their tribal armies?

I’m surprised Afghanistan didn’t do anything in 1971. That could have easily led to Pashtunistan and end of Pakistan. I wonder what the internal situation was in Afghanistan in 71.
