Re: 'All this for .... nothing really
But now we will "win".
Afghanistan has no legal exports and needs to import almost all of its food and medicine. We no longer need Pakistan's "cooperation" so can force it go along with embargos on imports.
Then a couple of drone strikes can take out water treatment and sewage works, and any remaining hospitals.
We should be able to engineer a famine that kills easily 20% of the 30million population.
Call it 6 Million dead with no casualties on our side - and we don't even have to pay the gas bill.
