Taliban-Pakistan War Unlikely

Pakistan's declaration of an 'open war' with the Afghan Taliban sounds dangerous, but analysts say neither side has the capacity to win.

Despite Pakistan's declaration of an "open war" with the Afghan Taliban, military analysts believe a full-scale conflict between the two forces remains unlikely. Neither side possesses the necessary military strength or resources to achieve decisive victory in a prolonged war.

The Afghan Taliban, now governing Afghanistan, and Pakistan's military have maintained complex relations for years. While tensions exist, the practical realities of warfare and governance make all-out conflict unfeasible for both parties, according to regional security experts.
