You should be asking why the once Al Qaeda deputy leader has been given a green light to visit the UN in New York next week where they demolished the twin towers?
A U.S. return to Bagram isn’t a bad idea

The only thing the U.S. should send (bring) to Afghanistan, are all of the pro-Palestinian protesters. Any pro-Palestinian U.S. citizens should have their citizenship revoked via the Denaturalization Act, then sent off to Afghanistan with the others.

— On Thursday, October 9, Pakistan launched airstrikes on Afghan territory — in Kabul, Khost, Jalalabad, and Paktika.
Islamabad stated that the targets were Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants hiding in Afghanistan.
— On October 10, the Afghan authorities (the Taliban) accused Pakistan of violating their airspace and warned of consequences.
The Afghan Ministry of Defense called the strikes on Kabul an act of aggression against the country's sovereignty.
— Evening of October 11: Fierce clashes broke out between the Taliban and Pakistani forces on the border.
Fighting is taking place along the Durand Line in the provinces of Kunar, Nangarhar, and Helmand.
— The Afghan Taliban claim to have launched attacks on Pakistan at seven points along the border.

A brief overview of the “war” between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
1. The Pakistani Taliban has been fighting relatively successfully in Pakistan for a long time. The organization operates largely independently of the Afghan Taliban, but they maintain contact. It is important to remember that the Taliban as such is the brainchild of Pakistani military intelligence.
2. The Pakistani Taliban is waging war on Pakistani territory in an effort to gain territorial control. It attacks the military and security forces, but does not shy away from terrorism. Its tactics are generally similar to those of the Afghan Taliban during the war against foreign intervention and the puppet government. Of course, after the victory of the Afghan Taliban, their Pakistani comrades were encouraged, although the chances of overthrowing the Pakistani military regime on their own are not very high.
3. For rest and replenishment, they periodically cross the border into Afghanistan. The Kabul Taliban, of course, have no intention of expelling their Pakistani brothers, but officially they do not participate in the war on Pakistani territory.
In fact, during the American occupation of Afghanistan, the Afghan Taliban also went to Pakistan to rest and replenish their forces. This was done with the knowledge of Pakistani military intelligence. Even under Obama, the US bombed Taliban camps directly on Pakistani territory.
Pakistan, which possesses nuclear weapons, pretended to be very unhappy when its territory was bombed by American drones, killing Pakistani civilians in the process.
4. Following recent successful attacks by Pakistani Taliban on military personnel, Pakistan decided to respond and struck Kabul, where one of the leaders of the Pakistani Taliban was staying. This was done in the spirit of Israel, so to speak. Like Israel's strike on Qatar, Pakistan's strike on Kabul only worsened the situation.
The leader of the Pakistani Taliban was not killed, and local fighting with the Afghan Taliban on the border began. As you might guess, fighting the Afghan Taliban with airstrikes is a pretty pointless endeavor. And so Pakistan risks getting another additional front on its border, on top of the internal attacks by the Pakistani Taliban and the periodically hot front in Kashmir.
5. Given that China has a serious influence on both the Taliban and Pakistan, I assume that Beijing will try to roll back this escalation in the coming week, as both Afghanistan and Pakistan play an important role in China's plans for economic expansion in Central Asia. China does not need war and instability on its border.
6. On the other hand, India may well be fueling the ambitions of the Pakistani Taliban in order to weaken its long-standing adversary with an additional front. Therefore, there may be a conflict of interests here, although India is also interested in participating in new trade corridors, some of which will pass through Afghanistan to India.
The US also stands to gain from chaos in the region, as it will undermine China's position and allow it to continue pressuring the Taliban to hand over the Bagram airbase to the US. So, under these circumstances, I would not be surprised if the US began to show diplomatic or other support for Pakistan's actions.
In general, they will fight, let off steam, and then, under pressure from external players, conclude a cold peace until the next time. As was recently the case in the war between India and Pakistan. For Trump, by the way, this is another reason for cheap PR — let him reconcile the Taliban and Pakistan.

Afghanistan has ended its “retaliatory operation” against Pakistan.
The Afghan Ministry of Defense announced the end of the “retaliatory operation” against Pakistan, Tolo News reports.
The ministry specified that it ended at midnight (22:00 Moscow time the day before). The operation included measures against Pakistani security forces along the Durand Line. They were taken after repeated incursions into the country's airspace and air strikes.
The Ministry of Defense emphasized that in the event of repeated attacks, the Afghan Armed Forces would fight back and defend the borders.
Did Donald end the ninth war without even waking up?

Pakistan accuses Afghanistan of supporting the TTP (Pakistani Taliban) but did not claim responsibility for the explosions.
With Humvees captured from the West the Taliban rushed to the Pakistani border and attacked seven checkpoints.
