The Taliban may not have the air force or nuclear weapons like Pakistan, but those experienced donkeys will hit back with guerrilla tactics. Remarkably enough, Afghanistan does not have a history of attacking other countries, something Mullah Omar warned Osama Bin Laden about: "Conduct no external operations!" Now the Taliban have crossed over a border to conduct their counterattacks. This is a Punjab-Pashtun conflict taking place from what I can see at a distance, but this is prima facie analysis.
