Pakistan's declaration of an 'open war' with the Afghan Taliban sounds dangerous, but analysts say neither side has the capacity to win. Despite the strong rhetoric, military experts believe both nations lack the resources and capabilities to engage in a full-scale conflict.
The assessment comes as tensions continue to rise along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, with both sides exchanging accusations of supporting militant groups. However, the strategic interests of both countries appear to be aligned against a prolonged war that would destabilize the region further.
