Whether these articles are new or old isn't the point. The point is that this anti-Pakistan sentiment has been seeping through influental circles for a while now.
The truth is that this thinking cannot be changed. A lot has happened between the US and Pakistan. The Americans are terrible losers and that is no secret. They have lost total influence over Pakistan and they are angry and bitter.
The Americans are watching with horror how Pakistan has teamed up with China in various mega strategic projects. Never before did we witness blunt US frustration at CPEC until very recently. This is extreme desperation. The Americans usually never showcase such desperation.
The Americans were always confident they could bully Pakistan into submission. Their economic/aid boycott hasn't had any noticeable effect. What the Americans failed to understand is how China would fill the void after backing off. It has been a huge slap and embarrassment. The Americans are still looking for a face saving explanation, but they don't have one.
It is extremely sour grapes for the Americans. Their effort to undermine Pakistan's war against TTP has also failed epically. The Pakistan army has literally destroyed the backs of terrorists emanating from across the border. The Americans don't appreciate our success for obvious reasons.
To make matters worse, Afghanistan is today a pile of shit. The Taliban are wreaking havoc and all the Americans can do is watch in despair and resort to blame games. The American threat to team up with India to bring "peace" to Afghanistan has resulted in utter failure. On the contrary, till this day the US pleads Pakistan to do more.
Even worse, the focus has suddenly shifted to the Middle East and Syria. ISIS has suddenly taken center stage. All resources are diverted to fighting ISIS. Another war which America has failed to deliver. Thus, the American war in Afghanistan has taken a serious blow. As a consequence, their plan to undermine Pakistan has faced a serious setback.
In short, expect such rhetoric against Pakistan to increase in the coming year. It should motivate us to work closer with China. Let's get one thing straight. Pakistan US relationship is only based on hostility. This hostility will increase in the coming years. We need to acknowledge these facts and ignore US propaganda against Pakistan. It serves no real purpose other than venting anger. The Americans cannot do anything to have it their way.
America is a toothless barking dog which is angry at everyone. Just look at the internal state of this country today. So much infighting, disunity and anger. The orange fool has caused so much harm and disgrace. It is a total shambles. No one is spared. Not a day goes by without hostility and blame games. Each day there is a new crisis. Karma has struck like a bitch. America is in serious trouble and it is looking for scapegoats all around.
