Another article made by some traitor expat, does this fool even know the meaning of demon before he refers to Pakistan as one.
You can potentially argue Afghanistan is the demon, but arguing Pakistan is rubbish. The Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan is what catalyzed all of this concentration of Islamic militants into Afghanistan and the region, with backing of KSA, UAE, US, Pakistan and other states.
This idea that British agreed to partition Pakistan because M.A Jinnah agreed to allow British bases in Pakistan appears to be unsubstantiated, where is the evidence M.A Jinnah was even remotely open to the idea, it was he trying to oust the British out of the subcontinent. If Pakistan is America's demon you could also argue America is Pakistan's demon, fact is both states have their own interests. but the use of the word 'demon' shows the author's poor choice of words. What a fool.
By June 1947, the decision to amputate India was announced in London. It was left to British foreign secretary Ernst Bevin to explain to his party activists why London would seek to destroy what it had built over 100 years as the “Jewel of the British Crown.” Defending the decision that would devastate the lives of millions for decades, Bevin told delegates at a Labour Party Conference that the division of India was necessary because it “would help to consolidate Britain in the Middle East.” It’s no coincidence that within a few years, the U.S. would establish an air base in Pakistan to launch its high altitude U2 spy aircraft until one day in 1960 when a U2 was shot down over Russia and Gary Powers was captured.
Thus came the great divide on August 14-15, 1947. After partition, the UK handed over the baton to the US ,who invested heavily into Pakistan becoming a frontline anti-communist military state. Today, the USSR is dead, but Pakistan is alive and has become America’s demon; one that successive U.S. administrations cannot put back into the bottle.
