The US has given Pakistan billions in civil and military aid, and protected your country on the international stage. Our big mistake was in thinking the end of the Cold War meant peace. Thus we left the region. However Pakistan compounded the problem by pushing ahead with nuke tests despite the Pressler Amendments.
So why did we got sanctioned after 65 war and continued for many years, where was US in 71. Why did they leave Afghanistan & Pakistan alone after Soviets left and slapped us with sanctions right within a year of defeating the soviets, that is how you repay us ??
Decade plus sanctions and it gets lifted only, when US again needs us in Afghanistan.
Strange thing is you guys used the atomic bomb on Japan, defending it by saying to reduce further US casualties, it was done, and when our arch enemy detonated atomic bombs in 74 and yet again in 98 and dismembered us in 71, it becomes a problem after we detonate an atomic bomb to defend our sovereignty. That's pathetic.
Mistake is done once, not multiple times. In 65 it was done, in 71 it was done, in 88-89 it was done and i assure you and bet, it will be done again the moment
IF US forces leave this region, mark my words, we will get slapped with yet another round of sanctions.
Nuke tests & program is & was our right, especially with a neighbor like India on our side, waiting to destroy us. If you guys can keep it and expand it with the pretext of a threat from Soviets, so could and can we, with such an arch enemy in sights.
History is very clear, US was never our friend, is not our friend and will never be.
And as for Billions spent, much more then those Billions has been lost by us due to this War of Terror alone. The 71 saga separate to that, and the multiple time sanctions beside.
