Pak warned of dire consequences if India attacked: Ex-Obama aide

​

The US has warned Pakistani leaders of dangerous consequences if there is another terror attack on India that originates from Pakistan, a former top adviser to President Barack Obama has said, asking Islamabad to give up the policy of supporting extremist elements.

Gen (retd) James Jones, who was the national security adviser to President Barack Obama from January 2009 to October 2010, said the message that they should give up the policy of supporting terrorist and extremist elements has been conveyed to Pakistani leaders several times by top US officials.

Jones stated this on the Charlie Rose show on the PBS news network in response to a question.

"I've said this in exactly those words, and I think my former colleagues at the NSC (National Security Council) and at the State Department have done the same thing -- is that you really don't understand, or we don't understand why you don't understand that you're playing Russian roulette here with your future because if there is another attack originating from Pakistan in India, you know, Prime Minister Singh isn't going to be able to (hold back)," he said.

Russian roulette is a potentially lethal game of chance in which participants place a single round in a revolver, spin the cylinder, place the muzzle against their head and pull the trigger.

"Russian" refers to the supposed country of origin, and roulette to the element of risk-taking and the spinning of the revolver's cylinder being reminiscent of spinning a roulette wheel.

Given the way Pakistan has reacted to the incursions made by USA , I think pak would have done nothing if India would have taken out the military camps by surgical strikes....

i think they are suffering plenty of consequences as it is. India just needs to keep its guard up, so another 26-11 doesn't occur.

And the USA is still the largest external source of funding for the Pakistani Army.

It's not my fault if people cannot debate stuff in a civil way. I only posted a piece of news.

 

[Avisheik]

It mentions that india might attack pakistan if another terror attack comes from pakistan. The thread title gives the impression that US might attack Pakistan, if pakistan attacks india

I doubt that. We are not the US. Neither in military capacity nor in political will.

correct, personally my only expectation from GOI is prevention of terrorist strikes. I don't want them to attack PK.

They also send us hundreds of billions of dollars every single year, in trade and invesment.

If they wanted to stop feeding the Dragon, they could have done it anytime, but they eagerly continue to send over their money even today. No complaints here.

"Beyond reducing our debt, a Taiwan deal could pressure Beijing to end its political and economic support for pariah states like Iran, North Korea and Syria and to exert a moderating influence over an unstable Pakistan. It would be a game changer."
