American press view of Imran Khan's victory

[Dalit]

The Americans are in for a tough tough time. No more free lunches. No more bullying.

What is devastating in Imran Khan's change for west in its allies...

Since the purpose of establishing Pakistan in the sight of international establishment after the disintegration of Soviat Russia was done, the international establishment wants to break Pakistan by weakening and the biggest obstacle of their path is Pakistan's strong establishment, international establishment and local establishment's cat and Mouse game is going on for three decades and now both of them have clearly came face to face with each other. Nawaz Sharif had become the pawn of international establishment, so it was imperative to take him out. With Khan's success the international establishment looking at him with a Crave sight, live coverage of Khan's victory speech by BBC and CNN is a clear example of this rage.

In the coming days, Khan will be given complete protocol in the US and West(as u can see their almost 180 degree turn in their statements and in their media like this one too indicates), and will try their level best to make Khan stand against the army and make him do this task Nawaz Sharif could not do. This will be the biggest test of Khan's personality, on one side, the international fame, power, women, money, through his children and old family living in British and on the other hand, to share power with the army. Suddenly if there is a rift in the Khan and the army, then it will be destructive for this country. May Allah put Khan and the army on same page, and make them both powerful enough to confront all the methods and tricks of international establishment and fail them like they together made them fail in the case of Iram's victory- Amin

I expect this as well. No doubt these Americans who are hating IK every second of the day will start singing his songs. Just wait and see.

Just let it sink in for a while. It is a bitter pill to swallow. This sudden and massive change is too much for the Americans.

The Americans didn't expect this kind of a result. Maybe a terrible hung parliament at best where IK had to team up with PPP and the likes. A hung parliament where US puppies would constantly pressure IK. It turned out very differently and the Americans don't like it one tiny bit.

The Americans don't even hide their jealousy. The Americans are fearful of China Pak cooperation which is going to be even more intense. The Americans are fearful of zero compromise on any issue. The American war in Afghanistan is going to be heavily impacted. It is a doomsday scenario as far as the Americans are concerned.

You really need to revisit the meaning of "pliable". IK is many things but pliable. He is stubborn as a mule and headstrong. Pliable and no backbone are synonyms for Nawaz Sharif.

By posting them you were validating them - you did not qualify the post either. Which led me to believe that you agree with the contents in toto.

But when I questioned him about he he took refuge under "I did not say it - please ask The Economist".

If my memory serves me well he posted the same or a similar article in another thread.

Yes. Do you think that IK will not be pliable to the Army? As the quote says, this is perhaps an "ideal outcome".

Americans spend $650billion/year on making their generals happy? most of the foreign policy is dictated by the pentagon to white house are you telling me your elected presidents are not pliable to the Military.
