Really, I was not aware that the PRC a Pakistani ally was giving shelter to the most wanted terrorist mastermind of all time. Again sticking with the PRC becuase; 1.you said everyone 2. its a country often on the other side of the issue compared to my country 3. it s a major nuclear power. 4. It is a pakistani ally. China didn't cost hundreds of lost lives and thousands or wounds to pull off a giant noogie in Kargil. China is building its economy not its list of grievances.
PRC supported and still supports regimes like North Korea, Burma and the demage done by OBL is at the same level as the damage done by the Koreans. You will never understand this because you are too focussed on the problems of the USA.
Kargil brought Kashmir to the international stage again so the goal was achieved. It is still better than the adventures in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Initially- France and alter some help form the US seems almost certain. But the large superbly educated Jewish intelligence had more to do with it..
So your support is only initial and limited. Your country proliferated nuclear technology much before Pakistan did so set your house in order first before preaching. How many sancvtions you have put on France and Israel? Don't act so innocent, your democracy and sanctions are all selective. Your VP go and kisses teh King of Saudi Arabia when he is elected by tribal chief at the same time you doubt the results of elections in Iran!
ISI, the US came on board later and always remained the arsenal while the ISI remained the handler.
Oh pleeeease don't even go there. CIA trained the Mujahideens and the ISI agents to fight the USSR. Your president Regan called the Mujahideen 'his boys'. You shouldn't even argue this point.
In the end you left Afghanistan and Pakistan alone to face all the troubles and now complain why we odn't trust you.
The bulk of the precursor chemicals came from Europe.
Where are the sanctions on EU. How about your role during the Iraq-Iran war? Why did you turn a blind eye to teh use of chemical weapons then? I expect to see more excuses.
Posts on the border of Afghanistan right when we started the operation.
countries with vested interest there who find it easier to deal with things as they are, not as they would have them be.
No, US with vested interest supports all of the unpopular and corrupt govts. in Pakistan and around the world. After that it comes back and preach about democracy.
Really, then why the emphasis on gaining control of Kashmir?.
Kashmiris have the right to choose their future because they are human beings and Pakistan will continue to support their rights. We are nmot teh USA who only try to gain control of oil and other resources around the world.
No the issue is Pakistan was the corridor that allowed deranged jihadis to declare war on the world. Those jihadis are now embedded with the Pashtuns who seem to have missed the message that in 1947 they became part of Pakistan. Together they are now waging war on Pakistan and if they win those nukes- fall to them. It is in India, the US and the worlds interest to A- see that Pakistan doesn't fall, 2- if it does fall keep those nukes away from anyone who thinks using them is in anyway divinely OK. The problem of course is that until recently the Pakistani Army see to get which sid eit should be on confused, and many run of the mill Pakistani still think US/NATO/India et al is the enemy instead of the TTP/ISI/jihadist movement.
Did you just finish high school? no seriously, you are part of the military think tank group and you think that Pakistan's nuclear assets will fall into jihadists' hands.
I would ask the staff at Pak defence and the web master to check zraver's credentials again. I seriously doubt that he has anything to with military.
You are completly confused mate. Majority in Pakistan think that TTP, India and the US are the enemy number one. Majority hates the US because t firmly believes that both other enemies are supported by an uncontrolled CIA and the US govt.
billions in aid and weapons is proof the US is out to get Pakistan?.
that money goes back to the companies in the US. How many hospitals have you made in Pakistan?
US only gives weapons when it is in the US' favour and not in Pakistan's favour so it is in your own benefit. The only benefit for Pakistan is that we have achieved self reliance on quite a few platforms.
US contact with India was virtually nil, they were a de facto client state of the USSR. Pakistan wasn't and chose to flip the US the bird and go chest chumping with India. That is not the way patronage works- it works lie this- you want our money and equipment you toe our line.
Go and sit in a library and see the level of US investment in India from 1990 till date then come and argue with me. Your money and your weapons can stay ion the US. I have stated this before and will state it again - Pakistan will survive without your help and friendship as we didi the entire 90s.
