#1 Go to: Languages of Afghanistan - Wikipedia
It demonstrates better than anything the reason behind the Pak effort to incorporate the Pashto speaking peoples of Afghanistan.

#2 Pakistani society is notoriously communal and discriminates against speakers of languages other than urdu and punjabi, which are the language of the current Paki elite.

They see the pashtun man as useful only for menial jobs, easily recruited muscle; their desperate insecure children as prostitutes or third wives, etc. Even the taliban clergy who reside safely in Pakistan consider the common Afghan as no more than pack mules, something to use and destroy on whim.

Islamabad's endgame with Afghanistan is not assimilation. They profit only from western presence in the region and naive attempts to create 'liberal democracy' where no concept of it exists. All the Pak elite [international criminals all of 'em] care about is the flow of opium, bodies and trainees for the jihad. They have tried to cozy up to the Ladens and Omars and Baradars to try and control them, but to no avail. Because every islamic kingdom from qatar to Indonesia sees the Pakis as insects. The pashtun warlords too hate them, they understand their intentions and know what they think of them. They, consummate muslims that they are, seek to simply benefit from the largesse filtered through the ISI coffers, the bribes and payments by American alphabeteers [those reporting back to the Farm that everything will soon be fine], and now from even the CPC. China has already bought lasting proxies in Kabul and deals with the taliban through the ISI because they have repeatedly inserted themselves as 'taliban dog handlers'. Yes that is what they're called in the Guoanbu.

In fact in the ideal outcome for the Pakis, the Afghans should be reduced to menial servants and whores this side of the border and unpaid labour for the Chinese OBOR initiative.

Sadly, India could have helped. If we only we could find our balls tucked away somewhere.

#4 ^ Except these aren't the soft targets the Nazis had, Rambler. They are all corrupt, ravaging hordes, rabid islamic dregs of humanity. Way tougher and deadlier than the average Paki.

All they want 'democratic government' for is because it's a great gravy train, without the hard work you've gotta put in knocking on doors and extorting people. They'll just as easily stab you in the back and cut off your head as they'll smoke your peace pipe for you. The ISI will not control the pathan. Nothing can.

With a little tact, we could set these two wild hogs against each other. Sunni against sunni, pashtun against punjabi, balochi against pashtun. Make it all a warzone through which china may never move its goods. If only our polities were not so taken with retarded humanism.

#5 Your analysis is wonderful. Too bad there aren't any who think like you in our so-called intelligence agencies. The Brits could play the game to that beggardly region. Too bad, we can't.

#7 Ref #5: Your analysis is wonderful. Too bad there aren't any who think like you in our so-called intelligence agencies.

There are! Their analysis doesn't conform to the current narrative and is summarily discarded.
