To know love or to have not known it at all

The unipolar world order since the end of cold war is morphing into a multipolar world order faster than many had expected. The window of opportunity for the US is closing so it is desperate to throw a wrench into this transition as well as secure as many long term strategic agreements regarding its military presence in as many places as possible. From Japan to South Korea to South China sea to South Asia to Middle East to Africa, its presence is being threatened, so US is trying to pit one country against another so it’s presence becomes a security necessity for the host nation. For example, US tried to pit Philippines against China but the president of Philippines was smart and didn’t fall into that trap. Ties between North and South Korea are warming up despite US efforts on the contrary. Keep in mind that Afghanistan is an occupied country, its constitution and its resulting government both are a work of art for the US, by the US. Only a minority among Afghans who betrayed their own country for $$$ or are just too scared of the occupying forces hate Pakistan, the rest see Pakistan as their second home. Pakistan should not hate back lest it wants to fall into the trap laid down by occupying foreign forces.

Totally disagree with this statement, most Afghans irrespective of their ethnicity support the current government, they hate Taliban because they have now realized the fact that Taliban are proxies. 100% Afghan intelligentsia support the current western supported government of Kabul. The hatred for Pakistan is created by the Pakistan “strategic depth” policy. The afghan national army is very strong and trained professionally, Taliban can never defeat them even if foreign forces withdraw today. The sooner our policy maker realize this fact, the better it will be for us. Pakistan should abandon the already bankrupt strategic depth policy at once.
