Interesting Snapshot.
Yep, People are Stupid. And yes, People make mistakes.
But when a “Special Forces” team, radio’s in and ASKS permission to engage a unit, that’s engaging them…
Military sources earlier told the BBC that a US-Afghan special forces mission had been in the area, where a Taliban training camp was believed to be operating.
They said the mission came under fire from a position within Pakistan, and they received permission from the headquarters of Nato’s Isaf mission to fire back
No mistake was made…
And the farther down the rabbit hole you go…
Pakistani troops are fighting the Taliban in the crucial border region. Hundreds of militants have been resisting attempts by the security forces to clear them from southern and south-eastern parts of the district
So in my opinion there are 3 distinct possibilities.
1. Some Pakistani Troops support the Taliban, either by bribery, or ideology, and thus, attacked NATO forces, causing the retaliation.
2. Pakistan unofficially supports the taliban, and is finally being caught red handed.
3. FALSE FLAG attack. A few smart Taliban get their hands on Pakistan uniforms, and fire RPG’s from outside a forgotten Pakistani military post, to attract international attention, and garner support from the local population of Pakistan
Either way, it’s NOT a NATO problem, and they are doing what they ought to be doing.
**IMO If you study the conflicts in Afghanistan, from 1850, until now, Whether you are the British 3 times, the Russians, or NATO, the same fact remains true, Like controlling Sicily is the key to defeating Italy, controlling Pakistan is the key to defeating Afghanistan. **
