Another Sign Pakistan is on the Brink
The U.S. is moving supply routes to Afghanistan out of Pakistan to Russia and "neighboring countries", presumably Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. That solves the problem of the Taliban effectively blocking civilian truck convoys through the Khyber pass. But it also is a sign of how much we believe Pakistan will be able to handle its own Taliban problem.
I'd wish a speedy demise to the ethnically cleansed bastard child of India, but the alternative of an even more thoroughly failed state followed by a nuclear armed Taliban isn't exactly hopy-changey.
