3. It has nothing to do with an expanded Taliban state.

It has everything to do with a Pashtuni state. Most of the people in Pakistan and Afghanistan belong to the Pashtun tribe. They were cut off from each other by the partition of the British Empire. Most people on both sides want their own Pashtunistan, as do other ethnic groups inside of the two states like the Fārsīwāns
