Pakistan-Taliban War Unlikely Despite Rhetoric

Despite Pakistan's declaration of an 'open war' with the Afghan Taliban, analysts believe neither side has the capacity to win a full-scale conflict.

Pakistan's recent declaration of an 'open war' with the Afghan Taliban may sound alarming, but military analysts suggest the situation is unlikely to escalate into a full-scale conflict between the two powers.

According to experts, neither Pakistan nor the Afghan Taliban possesses the sufficient military strength or resources to achieve a decisive victory in such a confrontation, making large-scale hostilities improbable despite the heightened rhetoric.
