Lloyd Austin: The Pakistani Military Must Target Militant Hideouts in Pakistan

[Maula Jatt]

If he is smart - he would say “I believe that is a great idea and it is in our interest - however, we first need the tools we lack to do this released to us including the Ah-1Zs and upgrades to the F-16s along with transfer of most MRAPs that you are leaving in Afghanistan which will greatly help in effectively tackling the greater sophistication the militants use. We also need to shut down refugee camps and move them back to Afghanistan to stop them from blending in with civilians and hiding within them. We are still committed as a major non-nato ally regardless of the designation but just need these tools to avoid casualties and backlash that creates more militants if operations take too long”

But you forgot

Bajwa is Mr.Soft, soft, juicy, juicy...

This is what I am interested in. What did COAS say to Austin? By the way the COAS completely bypassed an elected Government by talking to Austin guy and hence ignored rules and protocols.

i guess he told them we lost the remote control of the monster..

we asked the chinese to make a new one,
and offcourse we gave them the khandhar code.
sit back relax
get your popcorns
and watch the horror show...........being played in aghwa-nistan

My guess is that he likely committed to finding a co-operative path forward that serves the interests on both sides. The old two steps forwards, one step back, then hop to the right routine.

not an incident but deliberate action,

Again, this is not the topic here, but there was a joint investigation, the findings of which were accepted, and that is why co-operation, including re-opening of GLsOC was resumed. The root cause of the incident is not in doubt, which was the initial fire originating from very close to the Pakistani position. You, of course, are free to believe whatever prejudices you may prefer, as removing your ignorance is not for me to do.
