Bruce Riedel: Military Aid is bribe to Pakistan Army

Bruce called us the most dangerous country in the world..his analysis often is blown out of proportion. He may be working with certain lobbyists to portray Pakistan like that.


You ask yourself..
Has pakistan given up on cpec
Has pakistan given US air bases after the withdrawal?
Did Pakistan boycott Russia or stopped negotiating deals with them?

Pakistan has slowed down considerably on CPEC. Even you know this.

With the way things are going we might one day see US soldiers landing in Pakistan. I am not ruling out anything. The Americans keep sending their contingents to Pakistan for terror related discussions. Don't be surprised that the Americans are already asking for assurances when shit hits the fan.

Pakistan got nothing from Russia thus far. Bilawal made one visit and we haven't heard since then.

Covid and China's internal locakdown situation.China was virtually shutdown. This hiccup was politically played at home against each other.
Listen to Khalid Mansoor and Chinese delegates on this.

Pakistan has already got wheat.

It is no secret that Bajwa was no fan of Chinese Pakistan cooperation. That much has been revealed. Bajwa was a US lackey and he always adressed US concerns.

Pakistan was supposed to get much more from Russia. Nevertheless, Pakistan is in no man's land with their balanced approach. Balanced approach essentially means appeasing USA. India is the real winner reaping benefits from both sides. Pakistan is compromised and a lackey of the US. Without US consent Pakistani generals cannot make a move.

You know why Bruce makes such allegations? Because these allegations hold truth.

Another conspiracy theory..If that was the case.. why did he visit China right before retirement.
In his islamabad dialogue speech he said he will balance ties between US and China. And not compromise over it.
He has made numerous visits and assisted Imran khan over cpec issues.

Pakistan should have Russian oil.. even USA has now said they don't care if we buy.. but where is the traportation route.. not shipping as that adds cost of circumvention....but by land.. from Kazakhstan via Afghanistan by train and trucks......the amount of oil this way we get will not solve out problems..the last way is iran..but then we have to prove we are buying Russian oil not iranian.and the main thing is way of payment..practically it doesn't make sense buying Russian oil via Iran.india does it because they have a north south corridor theoigh iran(eventhough we know they are sneaking in iranian oil)... for us we have to decide on method of payments and finish off illegal smuggling in baluchistan to make it an effective trade.
Indias situation is different as it plays itself as a Trump card against China and is able to getaway still india zeroed oil Imports from Iran under US pressure when the waiver ended. Therefore the factor of unpredictability comes. In our case we need to see what we gain or lose from buying oil from Iran and decide accordingly.

True independence never comes peacefully. Only a war for independence gets true independence.

Pakistan never got independence. It was made into a hybrid colony.
50 lakh people were killed during independence in 1947 and we fought multiple wars with india for protecting independence but blind and deaf are incapable of recognizing sacrifices of our ancestors

To many yes men in charge , and not enough of other lot with opposing views. Pakistani politics is a very closed shop , and if we manage to get someone in with new ideas like PM Imran Khan they are soon-gone.

That is what happens when there is a conflict of interest. The sons and daughters of elites study in USA. Many generals have businesses in USA. How do you expect a general to look the Americans in the eye and tell them how it is when your son or daughter is an intern of some US senator?

I have said it a million times before. Unless the military exchange program between Pakistan and the US isn't removed you can expect a lot of misery. There must also be a strict mechanism in place to prevent conflict of interest. Don't expect loyalty from people who serve other powers.

In a nutshell, Pakistani generals serve US interests and not Pakistan's interests. That is the crux of the problem.

I hate to say it but Pakistan is not a true nation either, it was built on political ideologies that survived somewhat in the past but are increasingly becoming impossible in today's environment.

It's not just about "independence" - it's a dysfunctional country because historical enemies and extremely diverse cultures are clashing.

One of the core aspects of a nation, is having a common culture and language. Pakistan does not even have this. Nor do I believe that it's a full colony, it's just poorly managed and extremely dysfunctional.

The Punjabis are extremely corrupt and without gheerah.

The Balochis in Balochistan don't even want to be with Pakistan.

The Pashtuns are extremist chauvinists.

And the Sindhis are slaves to their fuedals.

My honest evaluation is for the above which points out the faults at the core of Pakistan's foundational problems.

You are right on the money. We used to believe that the armed forces were a glue that was binding Pakistan. Unfortunately, that is not true. You need a leader from the armed forces that is patriotic and serves the country. Not a general that goes behind people's back to serve other powers.

Well, there's a difference between "binding Pakistan" and then actually developing it. I mean what good is keeping it binded if you can't even do a good job at managing and developing.

Pakistan is a pathetic joke in front of the world. I do believe they "bind" it together, but that's literally the bare minimum and not enough.

We are constantly being left behind in the dust.
