In a twist of poetic justice, Pakistan now faces the wrath of the Taliban – the very forces it once armed at the behest of the US Deep State are now ready to decapitate it. Talibani forces, complete with tanks, are marching towards the Durand Line, sending shockwaves through Islamabad.
Decades of double-dealing with terror groups have come full circle, leaving Pakistan to reap the chaos it once sowed.
The nation is already struggling with an economic freefall, political turmoil, and an increasingly restless populace. Today, it faces an escalated security threat from its western neighbor. If the Taliban decides to launch a full-blown war, Pakistan might not just lose its borders but also its identity as a unified state.
The Inevitable Backfire: Taliban Marches Towards Pakistan
Afghanistan has declared hostilities with Pakistan.
15,000 Afghan troops are reportedly moving to the border and Pakistan is readying army reserves.

Pakistan once touted itself as the master manipulator of the Taliban, fostering the group as a pawn in its quest for “strategic depth” in Afghanistan. But in a bitter twist, the Taliban has long shed the shackles of Pakistan’s control. They see themselves as the rightful rulers of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region. To add insult to injury, Talibani forces have fostered the TTP on Pakistani soil, causing daily migraines for Islamabad.
Tensions along the Durand Line have been building for months, with clashes, cross-border shelling, and diplomatic breakdowns.
The Taliban kill 16 Pakistani soldiers because they think Pakistan does not follow ‘real Islam.’ So, Pakistan retaliates with aerial strikes, killing 46 Afghans because they say the Taliban do not follow ‘real Islam.’

The Taliban seems fed up with Pakistan’s antics. A direct attack by the Pakistani Air Force that killed 46 Afghans has ripped the mask of “friendly relations” off Islamabad’s face. The Taliban has taken this assault on its sovereignty seriously. Rolling tanks towards the Durand Line, they accuse Islamabad of betraying promises of peace.

These Taliban tanks are not just seeking revenge for the dead Afghans—they aim to contest Pakistan’s claims over parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This isn’t just a border skirmish; it’s a full-blown showdown that exposes Islamabad’s crumbling influence in the region. Only months ago, Taliban leaders declared a restlessness for a fight among their troops.

Now, Islamabad seems determined to scratch the Taliban’s itch for war and action.
Pakistan’s military, already stretched thin by internal challenges and insurgencies, is ill-equipped to handle a determined and war-happy Taliban. Reports of fuel, ration, and ammunition shortages have already highlighted the dire state of its forces. The irony is striking: the same Pakistani generals who once boasted about creating the Taliban as a “strategic asset” now find themselves staring down its barrels.
Balkanization Beckons: A Fractured Future for Pakistan
This crisis has renewed fears of Pakistan’s potential fragmentation. The nation is already a patchwork of ethnic and regional tensions, with Baloch separatists, Sindhi nationalists, and Pashtun groups agitating for independence. The Taliban craves a slice of the pie with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
A war with the Taliban could be the spark that sets Pakistan ablaze, paving the way for balkanization.
If Pakistan’s military is tied up defending its western borders, separatist movements like the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) could capitalize on the chaos. The BLA, already ramping up attacks in recent years, could intensify its push for freedom, taking advantage of a distracted Islamabad.

The Taliban’s aggression creates a two-front crisis for Pakistan that it might not survive. With public morale at an all-time low, the dream of an independent Balochistan appears closer than ever. Moreover, a weakened Pakistan risks becoming a battleground for external powers like China, the U.S., and India. When Pakistan’s house of cards collapses, the resulting dust storm will have far-reaching geopolitical consequences.
Yunus’s Bangladesh: Betting on a Sinking Ship
Pakistan’s troubles spell existential threats for Yunus’s regime in Bangladesh. Dhaka is set to embrace its East Pakistani identity under an Islamist, radical, and unelected regime. However, Mohammed Yunus’s strategy of aligning with Islamabad to counter India now seems laughable.
Bangladesh, embroiled in economic stagnation and famine, was flexing its Pakistani “friendship” muscles in the face of Bharat.
Its cozying up to a crumbling Pakistan was supposed to create a third front against Bharat. However, failed economists like Yunus forgot they are minor pawns in a larger geopolitical game. The Arakan Army already breathes down Dhaka’s neck, and any help from Pakistan is indefinitely postponed.
As Taliban tanks threaten Pakistan’s sovereignty, Dhaka must reconsider its alliances. Yunus’s Bangladesh, hoping to lean on an anti-India regime, will soon realize Pakistan is a fair-weather friend with no future. Ultimately, Bangladesh might find itself begging for India’s favor and generosity to survive.
Taliban, Pakistan, and Bharat
A war with the Taliban could reduce Pakistan to a shadow of its former self. A nation that once aspired to lead the Islamic world now risks becoming its cautionary tale. The policies Islamabad used to destabilize its neighbors are now haunting it with devastating consequences.
As Pakistan edges closer to chaos, Bharat stands to gain the most.
Bharat could finally rid itself of an aggressive, terror-mongering neighbor. However, sharing a border with a trigger-happy Taliban comes with its own headaches. Pakistan’s crop of violence is ready for harvest: a reckoning long in the making.

From the Afghan border to the streets of Balochistan, history’s forces are closing in, and Pakistan might not survive the storm.
The world watches with bated breath as Taliban tanks roll towards Pakistan’s borders. Pakistan’s dream of regional dominance crumbles with every mile added to the Taliban’s journey. Will Pakistan become a mere footnote in history? Let’s wait and watch.
