M-270 USA : Are we getting it or not ?

Yes, but it is also important to understand that USA only follows its national interests. My question is more important:

Why does the Pakistan Army put US interest over and above those of Pakistan by becoming a partner in activities that are detrimental to Pakistan, like you clearly described above?

Pakistan Army's role in politics has been a negative one and i hope that they have learned their lessons.

You hoped? Has the past history of the Pakistani military involved in politics encourages that chance for change?

Military no longer has the appetite for a take over, they have decided to let the masses learn by trial and error. If it was the 90s with today's political climate in Pakistan, we would already have the Delta-1 brigade remove the PM. The very fact that the military has set a very high bar this time, gives us room for maneuver. As perhaps a million people march on the capital tomorrow to protest against the rigging in elections, the military's red line is if any triggers are pulled.

The recent meddling with media independence and the present imbroglio with TuQ/PTI and the elected government clearly shows that your hope is not justified. The Army clearly continues to meddle in internal politics illegally and to the detriment of the country, just like in the past.

There is no denying that.

No, we will not get them because US will not sell anything to Pakistan. So Pakistan will have to stick with China, Turkey & Russia, as they are the best options available for Pakistan in defence.

So whose fault it was that the whole participation was reduced to a mere transactional relationship rather than an enduring strategic partnership it could have been?
