  2. “The Taliban government’s chief spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said Afghan forces have captured 25 Pakistani army posts, 58 soldiers have been killed, and 30 others wounded.”

    If this is true, it really shows either how unequipped the Pakistan army was, and/or how much they underestimated the Afghans. If these numbers are any indicator of how many soldiers were stationed to each post, it’s no wonder they got absolutely spanked in one go.

    Never thought I’d say I was a little impressed with the taliban but it’s 2025 and here we are.
    Not saying they deserved it by any means, but if it’s true that they indiscriminately bombed Kabul, then this is a pretty fair response.

    And of course let’s not forgot the Pakistani terrorists that murdered dozens of civilians in India recently and their government’s shitty response to it.

  3. Pakistan supported the Taliban of all people during the Afghanistan war. You reap what you sow.

  5. That seems like a lot

    Pakistan is definitely going to respond harshly

  9. Pakistan army is loosing their foothold with the general populace. They need a boogeyman to maintain control of the population. They tried it with India and found out how expensive it is. Hence, this time they found a soft target in Afghanistan. And voila, another conflict to rally the populace in support of the army

  10. With Israel Gaza calming down another war immediately heats up?

    This conflict has the potential to be deadly but I suspect it will de-escalate slightly better.

  11. I’m curious if Saudi is going to be involved in this conflict and take pak’s side, as there was a recent agreement between pak and Saudi.

  12. This is a good opportunity for China to test out their weapons. Could be good advertisement for their defence industry since there is currently very little foreign demand. Afghanistan already threw whatever resource agreements they had with China in the trash. Pakistan also has the appetite to fight.

  13. That looks bad if 58 soilders are killed in an overnight operation. If things escalate in the same manner for Pakistan then it would have no choice and it would be compelled to ask the Americans for intervention again . Twice in the same year .

    Or perhaps the Pakistan Army is playing America’s game altogether. US and Pakistan have a history of destabilising Afganistan. Pakistan has waged proxy war and cross border terrorism in Afghanistan for the US in return of US aid IMf loans and military aid and equipments .

    In recent Trump signalled US wanting the Bagram Airbase back that is not possible without Pakistan’s support.

    It feels like Deja Vu .

  15. Just so ya’ll know the Taliban is in control of the Afghani govt and has been since like 2021

  16. just like Pakistan said it has shot down Indian Rafale

  17. Umm so what’s saudi gonna do about this? Their recent pact says that an attack on Pakistan is an attack on them and vice versa.

  18. With Pakistan’s support and China and Russia’s covert help, the Taliban occupied Kabul. The Taliban government and Pakistan were close, but five years later their friendship was broken. It is obvious that Pakistan is in serious policy chaos and the Taliban government is completely untrustworthy.

  19. Both the Taliban and Pak army need a conflict to thrive.

  21. A much larger Afghanistan with nukes at the end of this year?

    Would complete 2025 very well.

  22. After a stunning victory against Afghanistan on social media, Failed Marshal Asim Muneer’s promotion to Grand Failed Marshal seems only fitting.

  23. Pak wanted to play both side. They are in the find out phase

  24. We don’t have a dog in this fight, let them kill each other. I hope both sides have fun and lose.

  26. We need help, so we killed some people to get your attention…

  27. Will Saudi troops be fight alongside Pakistan now? They did just signs mutual defense treaty, didn’t they?

  29. Saudi Arabia will be stepping in and helping Pakistan any minute now…LOL. 

  30. Trump lost the award, and you can see what’s happening those who have the courage will keep fighting. He already wanted the airport in Afghanistan and is supporting Pakistan too. These people must have a death wish; they should really get online and read some news.

  32. So far Afghanistan is claiming 58 Pakistani soldiers killed and 30 wounded. Pakistan is admitting to 23 killed and 29 wounded.

    Pakistan is claiming 200+ Afghan soldiers killed and “a much higher number” wounded. I don’t see anywhere that Afghanistan is admitting to casualties.
