Pakistan's Nightmare: Why Afghanistan is the Graveyard of Empires

Описание: Tensions have reached a boiling point as Pakistan launches airstrikes on Afghanistan, targeting the TTP and ISKP, leading to swift retaliation from Afghan forces along the Durand Line. With Pakistan's Defense Minister declaring an "open war," the geopolitics of South Asia are taking a dark turn. But why is a nuclear-armed Pakistan struggling to control the Taliban?

In this deep-dive documentary-style analysis by virat ias insights, we decode the complex history and geography of Afghanistan. Discover why this rugged land is known as the "Graveyard of Empires"—a place where Alexander the Great, the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the United States all met their match. We break down how Pakistan's ISI created the Taliban as a strategic asset, only for it to become their ultimate nightmare, heavily armed with billions of dollars worth of left-behind US military equipment.

If you want to understand the real Great Game, the tribal structure of the Hindu Kush, and why history always repeats itself in Afghanistan, watch till the end.
