Pakistan bombs Kabul in 'open war' on Afghanistan's Taliban government - Lemmy Today

How can one not consider the responsibilities of the USA and more generally of the West in all this… humanity is failing as a civilization

I’m as much against the US as the next guy but how is it the west’s fault that Pakistan is now bombing Afghanistan?

  • The Pakistani Airforce dropping the bombs.
  • The Pakistani Taliban attacking Pakistan.
  • The Taliban allowing the Pakistani Taliban to operate.

You need to go many layers down before it starts being the West’s fault.

Either by saying it’s the West’s fault that Pakistan is now bombing Afghanistan because they retreated and the Taliban took power.

Or by saying it’s the West’s fault that Pakistan is now bombing Afghanistan because they supported the Mujahideen which eventually led to the collapse of the DRA and the Taliban took power.

Sure there is responsibility, but there are many actors that have way more direct responsibility over this current event before we reach the West.

Giving back the power to the Taliban maybe? I think that’s a recent event that leads to this.
Also that time when Donald Trump just released 5,000 Taliban fighters. Probably a pretty significant factor.
