All you can say in this site's defence is that it, rather than reality, occupies the warped minds of some of the planet's most twisted people; gods know what they would get up to if it wasn't here.  In these arguably insane times, any lessening or attenuation of madness is maybe something to be thankful for.

How will this add to the current clusterfuck with US/Iran/Afghanistan/Syria?

Cain

Not much, except remind people that NATO is pretty much involved in an arc of violence from the Hindu Kush all the way to the shores of Tripoli.

LMNO

Oh. Ok. Thought there might be escalations.

Cain

Escalations beyond Pakistan supporting the Taliban and Haqqani insurgents?

Jenne

Aw, but the ISI are just a buncha goodfellas...

The best part is, there is no strategic rationale for a border attack at all.  Pakistan aren't going to seal their side, so why bother?  You might as well wait until they're 10 miles further into Afghan territory and drop a daisy-cutter on them. Same result, minus the dead Pakistani soldiers and complicated international incidents.
