Obama reassembled their leadership by releasing them.
He’ll get no blame though.

In fact, their entire region just gets passed around from one despot to another, for going on 5500 years.
You are the bend over bitches of the world. It's actually the reason you're all muslim zealots. Traitorous "rules of engagement" are the only reason there isn't a Starbucks on every corner of your dusty, shitty lands.

Is Pakistan still considered an ally or an enemy or an independent in our foreign policy planning?

Did AtG devastate them? or just fight his way through?
Seems like I recall that they fled into the mountains til he was gone. And never came back.
Afghanistan has been a shithole for all of human history.

Afghanistan effectively doubled in terms of its population size over the past 20 years. Went from around 20 mil to nearly 40 mil. You would likely have issues regardless, absent US intervention, just due to population growth alone.

They were long considered an ally, but began to move away from the US and into China's orbit in the noughties. It's important because of relatively easy port access through Karachi.
You are also effectively talking about 2 states within Pakistan. The military has its own state, and the civilian government has little say overall. If there is any place where there is as clear a distinction between a 'deep state' security apparatus and everyone else, it is Pakistan.
