Pakistan should avoid any sanctionable activity: US State Dept

[somebozo]

The Impotent [US] is in no position to put sanction on Pakistan .If it put sanction before its withdraw from AF then it will lose Billion of dollar to find other route.

and if he decide to do it after its withdraw then he will see nuclear weapons in middle east and asia.and a nuclear enemy too.more problem for israel.

If US is to put sanctions on Pakistan for buying Iranian gas then we should simply barter trade with everyone in exchange of nukes!

Maybe an independent foreign policy & the years of experience gained by being a part of NAM may have helped India in maintaining a balanced relationship with countries like Iran, KSA & Israel.

But throughout the history, Pakistan always had to play a role of being either on this side or that... not nice place to be in. Short sightedness of the leaders to achieve short term gains, to be blamed for this.

Nothing would have said it better though Indian NAM is now becoming a face-wash only!

look like soon Pakistan going to miss it's lifeline from America (of money). America is just waiting for 2016 ......then there will only sanctions will flow from USA to pak..... hehehehe...


well we should get hard on these $%$& Irani's ........ i hate them we are supporting them in hard time and they shaking hands with pak ....

i am fed up of these irani they are every where in India , specifically Delhi , Pune , Banglore kick their ------ from india....

 

[monitor12345]

offer a nuclear Power Plant (as we had been severely suffering in the past)

or else

The usefullness of Iran Pak pipeline is far more than a Nuclear power plant.

Sure and all this time India can have strategic ties with Iran while also pleasing the Saudi's with Bollywood dancing...

Seriously we are not a sovereign state, just a puppet proxy!

India has been a major buyer of Iranian crude and most of our refineries are geared to process it, the US and SA provided to compensate for the difference but it was not enough. India did cut down marginally on its Iran crude purchase but one can argue that it was due to the difficulties in buying and making payments which got construed as compliance towards UN request. Has Pakistan been buying Iran gas and Crude previous to the sanctions?

 

[Ayush]

Warning haan!
They are Americans after all.

I said it earlier. US is making playing fields to impose sanctions on Pakistan post-2014.
Baluchistan referendum, Iran Gas Pipeline, So called danger to its nukes, they are just creating excuses.

Oh, we don't have to please anyone with Bollywood dances. India has handled Iran, Israel and KSA relationship separately. That't the successful Foreign Policy India has kept regardless of which came to power at Center.

Foreign Policy are made on basic themes which extend over decades.

They cant do jack even after 2014,as much of their soldiers will still be there,and they may change supply routes,but Pakistan can destablize Afghanistan at anytime they want.
America has vested interests in Afghanistan for long time to come and cant do anything without Pakistan.

 

[KRAIT]

China and India are going against the USA and buying Iranian oil anyway. China alone buys the majority of Iran's oil exports. Pakistan can do it too, if your leaders are willing to go against the USA.

China and India can do it because of economy size and market potential. US can't dictate anything to China which shows them middle finger every now and then while US has been trying to get Indian investment and purchase for its economy. Europeans are already facing new 11.9% Unemployment and they have over 19 million jobs lost.

Now its game of economy. India also don't care about US regarding Iran because Iran is our gateway to Afghanistan and possibly CARs.

Pakistan has been offered TAPI and US supported it, so they are asking that Pakistan to use this Alternate source.

If Pakistan loses real (substantual) money from this deal they should be compensated....that being said I consider most (not all) sanctions counter-productive. If you plan war SOON...then sanctions may yield results.

Destabilizing Afghanistan ? Dude, it will affect Pakistan more than anyone. Don't you already see that unstable Afghanistan has proved worst for you.

Think again. Even China wants Stable Afghanistan. All US is asking is stopping Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline. Why do you want to go against US who are damn good in destabilizing any region in the world.

Afghanistan is a playing field of US, Russia, China, Indian and Iran and all want stable Afghanistan for their own concern and interest. It will be Foreign Policy suicide if Pakistan try to destabilize Afghanistan where NATO has been fighting for over 1 decades.

 

[shree835]

Means In coming future sanction fest is going to start for Pakistan.

The Thing is KRAIT , the Stable Afg for you is Unstable for us .

Thing is Pakistan can deal without this pipeline but it can't deal with sanctions right now. Their economic shock-absorbers are just absent.

They are paying hundred of millions of dollars back to IMF, WB and ADM has already shown told about problems in allocating money for their dam projects and US gives more aid for developmental projects in Pakistan than China.

Not really Sir. Personally I feel that if Pakistan tells China and US that Pakistan will hunt down every terrorist which destabilizes Afghanistan, you will see billions flowing towards you.

Pakistan had great opportunity in WoT by getting in good books of NATO. An opportunity was lost because of short-sightedness of leaders.

You are already fighting terrorists, why not kick out all those Afghan Talibans too. Pakistan has to think beyond a decade.

Stable Afghanistan is Must for your best ally China.

Again , what is stable Afghanistan is the main issue , If stable Afg is pro India & is being used as launchpad against Pakistan , then it is unstable for us , & vice versa .

USA is running out from this region , their economy is a mess , there is a financial scandal every month that sinks their economy even more , they will now be concentrating on that .

Right now if Pakistan starts supporting Afg Taliban , then this region will be a Hell Hole for US & Allied Forces , US knows that , hence you will see there will no sanctions or anything thing , as long as we hold the escape route for their forces .
