Lets not pretend that there is only a single guilty party here. No doubt pakistan tried to control mujahideen to fight their proxy wars. Just like Indian intelligence has funded the Balochistan insurgency inside Pakistan. This of course all started with US asking Pakistan to setup these mujahideen to counter Russia in 1980.

This is a false equivalency. The extent to which Pakistan used its military apparatus to train militias and other terrorist organizations is unparalleled. There is a reason Osama Bin Laden found a safe heaven.

This is the what aboutism that most politicians toy with when they want to fool the public. But like I said this is a populous that are truly detached and delusional. They brought it on themselves.

Really its unparalleled? Even by america.

[mercy_dude]

Yes as long as America does not shelter a terrorist while taking billions of dollars of money in the name of “fighting” war on terror?

[kumarvvr]

Yeah no. Pakistan has always used terror as a weapon, in various ways, from the moment it was split from India.

Setting up of the mujahideen gave a semi legitimate veneer to its activities and a funnel for money.
