Fighting breaks out between Pakistan and Taliban

Saturday, December 06, 2025

Fresh deadly border clashes have broken out between Pakistan and Afghanistan's Taliban forces, with both sides accusing each other of breaking a fragile ceasefire. Residents fled the Afghan city of Spin Boldak overnight, which lies along the 1,600-mile (2,574 km) border the two countries share.

A medical source in the nearby city of Kandahar told BBC Pashto a local hospital had received the bodies of four people. Three injuries have been reported in Pakistan. Sporadic fighting has repeatedly broken out between the two in recent months, while Afghanistan's Taliban government has also accused Pakistan of carrying out air strikes inside the country.

Trump is the neediest of presidents that we've ever had. He's a toddler in a suit.

This would never happen if the decomposing orange pedo was POTUS.

The site seems to be having issues tonight.

I'm currently chalking it up to a late Saturday night maintenance...

Meanwhile, a fun video ...

Len - Steal My Sunshine (1999)

That video was filmed in Daytona Beach, FL., with a budget of $100k, from what I've read.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Laura casting spells.

If it came down to a war between Pakistan and Afghanistan, I'd say the Taliban would win. The Pakistani military is full of cowards when it gets right down to it.

Spin Buldak was a nice base to visit, I went there several times when I had soldiers stationed there. Chow Hall was pretty good.

Pakistan has nukes.

Afghanistan does not.

You really don't want Pakistan to feel existentially threatened by the Taliban. Pakistan is already unstable enough as it is.

#14 Well, thank the Good Lord that Major DEI Boazo isn't in the line of command anymore.

Whew!
