afghans who prefer freedom over you know being beheaded but the taliban's takeover of afghanistan could also backfire on pakistan down the line i'll explain how after the break welcome back pakistan likes the afghan taliban it serves pakistan's strategic interests but there's also a pakistani taliban known as the ttp it has links with the afghan taliban but it attacks pakistan pakistan does not like this tens of thousands of pakistanis have died because of the pakistani taliban but pakistan is careful to distinguish the taliban that help pakistan and the taliban that doesn't it's a complicated game of good taliban bad taliban kind of like how there's good cholesterol and bad cholesterol good cholesterol makes sure everything is running smoothly while bad cholesterol will murder your entire bloodline and although pakistani military leaders publicly tell everyone that the afghan and pakistani taliban are different they admit they are two faces of the same coin kind like jared leto and jake gyllenhaal i know there's technically a difference but i just don't see it the pakistani military drove the pakistani taliban back into afghanistan in NUMBER_TOKEN but the pakistani taliban regained strength thanks to their leader noor wali masood they've gained more strength now the key pakistani taliban leaders have been released from afghan prisons you know after america just upped and left in our defense though this is still ultimately britain's fault without them there wouldn't be an america to just up and leave afghanistan so take that dad not too long after the afghan taliban success massoud called for an independent state in pakistan for the first time our fight is only in pakistan and we are at war with the pakistani security forces we are firmly hoping to take control of the pakistani tribal border regions and make them independent masood's interview makes it clear that the pakistani taliban is not only prepared to militarily confront pakistan but it also has a support base and will attempt to win the support of local tribes wow that snake you nursed back to health wound up biting you who could have seen that coming you know besides literally everyone even stevie wonder saw it coming since may the pakistani taliban have been involved in more than a hundred attacks aimed mainly at pakistan's security agencies and it looks like the pakistani taliban won't stop so it sounds like the taliban's takeover of afghanistan could end up strengthening the group that's hurting pakistan there's some speculation that pakistan could work out a deal with the afghan taliban to constrain the ttp but even if it comes to pass there is a real question of how effective it would be what do you mean i'm sure the taliban
