Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir is reportedly spearheading a sophisticated propaganda operation aimed at turning major world powers against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. This strategic initiative, described as deeply sinister, seeks to exploit recent terror events to push the United States and China into directly confronting the Taliban. Instead of direct military action, Pakistan is employing psychological warfare to achieve its objectives.
The core of Munir’s strategy is built on a foundation of extreme hypocrisy. Pakistan, a nation with a documented history of supporting and nurturing terrorist groups, is now presenting a narrative where Afghanistan is the epicenter of global terror. This shift is particularly striking given Pakistan’s past associations with figures like Osama bin Laden and Hafiz Saeed. The plan hinges on framing Afghanistan as the new paramount threat, hoping to compel America and China to neutralize the Taliban where Pakistan’s own military has fallen short.
Two specific incidents have become central to Pakistan’s narrative: an attack on National Guard soldiers near the White House and a drone strike in Tajikistan that killed Chinese nationals, with alleged origins in Afghanistan. Pakistan is actively promoting these events to convince global leaders that Taliban-controlled Afghanistan poses an unacceptable risk. This push for superpower intervention aims to secure external support for Pakistan’s objectives against the Taliban.
In response, the Taliban has vociferously denied any involvement, accusing Pakistan’s intelligence services of orchestrating these incidents. They suggest the motive is to sabotage Afghanistan’s growing international ties, particularly with India, and to maintain Pakistani influence in the region through manipulation and disinformation.
