Pakistani politics is complete joke. Why don't b52 bombers first get rid of these chakkay Pakistani politicians.
Trump's voice is not the voice of Americans. Even the US military would focus on having good alliance with Pakistan. Not to confuse entire US military by few trump's appointed representatives.
Pakistan is the only country in the world that have sacrificed tremendously due to terrorism. The same terrorism that was once used by US and EU against Soviets and they left poor Pakistan to deal with it. Instead of fooling American public, Trump administration should focus on having proper strategy on Afghanistan, this clownliness is not working.
What makes you think that he hasn't done his homework and the American public won't support him?
From Trump's speech:
Third, and finally, I concluded that the security threats we face in Afghanistan and the broader region are immense. Today, 20 U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations are active in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the highest concentration in any region anywhere in the world.
This is really alarming.
Forget Trump for a moment. I have some questions for you:
Q1. Have you read Abbottabad Commission Report?
Q2: How many Pakistani have studied Abbottabad Commission Report and what lessons they draw from it?
Q3: Why Pakistani establishment (both military and political) is not fair in its disclosures about the matters of national interest to the public at large?
When we point a finger at others, other fingers point back towards us.
Biggest problem of Pakistan is its
internal corruption. All other matters pale in comparison.
In good faith, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has called on Khawaja Asif for an in-depth discussion on the subject. Asif has accepted this meeting but he is visiting China and Russia first. This is indicative of height of immaturity and lack of confidence on the part of our establishment.
A visit to China and Russia at this juncture would send a wrong message to Trump administration. We need to learn to handle our issues ourselves, not rely upon others to solve them for us. We cannot intimidate US with these tactics.
If I am in quarrel with you but am willing to have a meaningful dialogue with you and you bring others into the picture unnecessarily, I would be pissed and warn you of dire consequences.
There is no blame or allegation but crystal clear. He was trying hard for a while now.
Even for a thick skull it won't take too long to understand that trump's strategy is only to hide US military failure in the longest US war. If trump was serious and really want permanent peace and solution then he would order some sort of barrier on Pak Afghan border and drones to monitor the border 24/7. If Pakistan is really creating troubles then shut the border down.
If US had a military failure in Afghanistan, Taliban-led government would still be in power and Kabul would be in its hands. This is not the case in that region, right?
Problem is that US cannot babysit Afghanistan for indefinite period in order to address its problems and had to end its occupation at some point; it happened in 2014. After this withdrawal, remnants of Taliban and various criminal elements saw an opportunity to band together and challenge the writ of Afghan state in different parts of the country since 2015. ISIS also reared its ugly head during this time.
Now, US has two options - do something about the aforementioned elements (or) do nothing and let Afghanistan fall back to chaotic conditions once again. US has chosen the former for now and this is a welcome development because US is taking responsibility.
