Pakistan defence minister refuses to meet US CENTCOM Commander

[xyxmt]

i think Pakistan will become nkorea if our govt keep on looting

What????????

 

[CHI RULES]

Please do keep in mind that USA is Pakistan's largest single export market, and the EU is not far behind, not to mention IMF et al.

Apparently yes I am agreed with your points but in depth Pakistan is a cash cow for USA and IMF. Whenever a country announces bankruptcy the USA and World bank both come to avoid it as happened in case of Argentina and Mexico. USA/World bank are getting much more than they benefiting Pak economy or exports.

Pakistan exporters especially SME sector is in great difficulty and I am afraid that we have already observing continuous declining trend in exports and our SME sector shall be in ruined in short span of time our planners and govt both are dumb.

We should switch towards other countries/new markets if want to survive economically.

What????????

if u.s impose economic embargo and corrupt rulers continue then we will not sustain it and people will suffer worstly

 

[Mrc]

I m so happy on news.... they should start considering knocking out the drones and what ever else comes after that....

They have changed their policy... and so shud we

Not meeting officials of another country is more of a face-saving than a strategy. We aren't being vocal, we aren't acting but chickening out just like the past.

Perhaps, what most of the posters here want is not to confront or challenge the US, until there is no other choice, but to make it abundantly clearly that from now on the US will not be getting a free lunch in exchange for pennies here and there. What people probably want is for the Government to convey to the US, in the strongest and most effective way possible, that we have done more than enough and that now the US needs to do more........a lot more, if it wants to be successful in Afghanistan.

For every single US missile fired hitting Pak territory, stop the NATO supplies for 1 month.

3 missile fired, no NATO supplies through Pakistan for 3 months.

Shoot any US drone in Pak airspace.

defence minister or no defence minister they will meet the army most likely.

What Pakistan should be considering is knocking out American drones if they dare to cross our border and stopping American supplies from both the air and sea route. Closing the border only causes problems for civilians and increases anger against us amongst common Afghans.

To do that Pakistan need true loyal / honest leaders and possibly advance SAMs like Pantir-SM along with S-400 to face consequences of shooting down US drone, Russian and Chinese diplomatic support will also be needed. It's easier said than done.

Drones are easy to knock out even with f6. Our government needs the backbone. Buttheyare learning from the Korean saga

Well, we have stopped their supplies before. As a matter of fact, we have forced them to pack up and leave an entire airbase. Nobody tells the Yanks to pack up and leave. Let's not under-estimate ourselves. The main thing is that we need to put our foot down on the basis that:

1. It is our sovereign right to be informed of terrorist presence so we take action as appropriate.

2. American concerns are largely uncalled for given the Khyber series of operations have cleared the areas and the writ of the state has been established.

3. We can deny our land at any time to anyone for any reason. Especially when a nation is violating our sovereignty.

Drones are earth to know out even with f6. Our government needs the backbone. Buttheyare learning from the Korean saga

Yes, army needs to take the nation in confidence and take a strong stand.

Talk to me when their real asset is closed or reduced to normal embassy and consulate level.

International Geopolitics 101: There are no permanent friends or foes, only the relentless pursuit of national interests.

Pakistan's relations with China and Turkey are living proof that your statement is not applicable and valid for every scenario.

Unfortunately he is right. China has her interests and so does Turkey; if they were to diverge from the common interest they would have no hesitation in harming Pakistan if it meant their interests were achieved.
