if the US couldn't subdue afgahnistan after almost two decades of war with pakistan's acquiescence and even support, what chance does it have against a pakistan that is firmly opposed to it?
Serbia, Afgahnistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria combined are a small fraction of Pakistan's population and military strength. and the post-Cold War history of easy, low-casualty US military intervention against these countries obscures a harder truth: an uninterrupted string of disasters of any military operation in a small country right adjacent to a great power: korea (soviet and china), cuba (US), vietnam (china), afghanistan (china), and afghanistan again (china). that no greater power, and not even several great powers combined, can prevail over another greater power at the latter's own doorstep, is the fundamental truth and operational doctrine of realpolitik in international diplomatic history for the last four, five hundred years.
US dares not mess with pakistan
