This is not about Pakistan. It's about Iran. There was never a doubt on efforts to force Iran to fight on two fronts. I knew that would be the case when the US started the second Iraq war without finishing the job in Afghanistan. They're trying to weaken Iran's support for Syria and more importantly Lebanon. Israel wants the Lebanon's water supply and oil/gas deposits in the Med, but Hezbollah is in the way. Also, Saudi Arabia wants to neutralize Iranian influence in the region.
Unless I missed the memo, I don't recall any mass migration of refugees at the height of NATO activity in Afghanistan. IMO, there will be no refugee problem in Central Asia. I'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm wrong.
Interesting that you brought up SCO. China is already active in NE Afghanistan. It'll be interesting to see if they build a base to expand their operations.
You missed the memo..I’m pretty sure there are tons of Afghani refugees in Pakistan right now.
