“The widespread assumption is that this [violence] is Pakistan pushing back against the new American strategy. This is Pakistan giving a small taste of what it’s capable of,” adds the official in Kabul. He notes that “a lot of circumstantial evidence” indicates an increased flow of military-grade explosives from Pakistan in the past year.

Yes, valid point. In fact, the fact that Pakistan is willing to indirectly facilitate the deaths of innocents to demonstrate their anger at the US is a reinforcing reason for Trump to do just what he says.
