Joe Biden floats the idea of bases in Pakistan post withdrawal to keep an eye on Afghanistan-Denied

[Sabretooth]

Finally, USA is opening up on what it really wants in exchange for withdrawal from Afghanistan.

 

[Sine Nomine]

It started after OBL raids.While India and US were ramping up their narrative we did nothing.

Last attack happened few years ago.

Imran Khan doesn't need approval of PTM supporters living Germany to rule Pakistan

Who is PTM supporter here?

 

[pakistanitarzan]

Trap alert trap alert. It will start with basis and end with denuclearizing pakistan. Its a suicide.

 

[Jaanbaz]

Its not really about Afghanistan, its about taking over Gwadar and denying China access to the Arabian sea & the Persian Gulf. Allowing hordes of American soldiers in Pakistan would be suicide, along them would come CIA and Blackwater terrorists and their goal would be to cause terrorism in Pakistan.

Campaign stuff. Not to be taken seriously.

it's written in history when there were US bases like "shamsi" in Pakistan, US also used Peshawar airbase as well to target their terrorists and that's what caused an uprising from pashtun areas against Pakistan (ttp, JuA) , drone attacks also skyrocketed during that period....pppp simply failed to workout with US as only.military was seen as centre of power in Pakistan...Afghan war was fought within boundries of Pakistan (OBL ops)
.. I don't think we ll allow bases here at any cost..because peace can't be valued.. we don't want to be another rogue state in papers of CIA where they operate openly...

Isn't it easy to keep an eye on Pakistan's nuclear Program from Afghanistan, rather than to sit right next to it, "the instability of nuclear weapons falling into wrong hands " !
Iraq is also a another option. In fact, USA/NATO already has bases in GCC.

First the voice comes out from the west that Pakistan is a dangerous country and then another voice speaks that lets open an option of making base in that country. Maybe the wall on Durand line has really become effective in curbing movement between Pak-Afg. IK says Pakistan should have been neutral. So this change of mind towards USA and WOT is really not welcome in the west perhaps.

By the way, why isn't Iran concerned if USA is thinking about bases inside Pakistan ?

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

It is a very dangerous statement. And one we cannot simply just laugh off. Our leaders have a history of doing shady deals with America and hurting Pak interest.

 

[Foxtrot Delta]

They should make bases in iran or china against afghanistan.. Pakistan needs no us soldiers on its soil.. They are magnets for suicide bombs.. We don't want suicide attacks in pakistan again..


Americans should make bases inside afghan territory or china may be iran.

Pakistan says no.

 

[zn426]

Not all the money in the world could convince Pakistan to have US bases there, and I think that's a good thing.
That said, keep in mind the following points:
If Saudi pushes, it may happen anyway since Saudi also has US bases. Qatar and Turkey both have US presence as well.
Biden is just a candidate at this point, and based on polls and his performance thus far, a victory in the party primaries let alone the general election is by no means guaranteed. Trump is very good at controlling the narrative.
Such an action wouldn't even be talked about until January 2021. That's 16 months away.
The cost of hosting US bases would be way too high economically given CPEC and relationships with China-it would be all too convenient that suddenly CPEC projects start having issues when the US puts military bases in place. It also interrupts the Belt and Road Initiative, which China will never allow.

[DESERT FIGHTER]

The question is whether Pakistan is willing to allow USA bases. USA base means that many other infrastructure and services also have to be accommodated to serve the USA base. Is Pakistan willing to provide deep access of its territory to USA?

India has.

 

[Smarana Mitra]

India has.

What? When has India accepted USA terms or bases? India doesn't even buy major USA arms without USA accepting technology transfer despite USA pressuring India. This is a fae cry from what Pakistan has done in the past of giving USA base and getting embroiled in complex warfare internally

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

USA has highest stake and voting power on IMF decisions, and Pakistan is addicted to IMF bailout.

Might not be the case for long.
Ironically as of now Pak GDP is growing faster than India.

Pakistan might jumped back by next year if govt predictions come true.

 

[doorstar]

Americans should make bases inside afghan territory or china may be iran.

FOR THE LAST TIME:
USA/NATO do NOT need nor want any bases in Pakistan. They have all they need in Afghanistan already. they've also arranged alternative route to supply those bases.

joe moron biden became confused when trying to respond to a question about US withdrawal from Iraq and started to ramble on incoherently.
