Pak-Taliban Conflict | Myanmar Junta Drops Chinese Bombs on Civilians
On Fault Lines this week: Back in the early 1990s, Pakistan helped shape the Taliban. The ISI saw them as strategic depth. A proxy against India in Afghanistan. That gamble seemed smart...until it blew up. Can China’s gamble bring calm, or is it fueling a conflict it can’t contain? And as Myanmar burns, the numbers behind this conflict tell their own story....It is a war the generals are winning back, one bomb at a time, and one Beijing shipment at a time. Tensions in the Caribbean hit a boiling point. U.S. bombers and warships mass off Venezuela’s coast, and nine deadly strikes have already been carried out on alleged drug boats. Washington says it’s fighting narco-terrorists. Caracas says it’s facing an invasion.
