Pakistan to let Americans and Afghans transit through Karachi

.
the moment they evacuated these "Soldiers" they will again blame pakistan for everything.... My countrymen are just too optimistic.

This will dilute that even in Washington.

Our foremost concern is US forces not overstaying in Afghanistan, this bombing was a means to achieve that. To create pressure to extend their stay . Next one would see was the call to send in more forces.

Its a common solution to all Afghan Taliban, US and Pakistan interest.

US forces are not in karachi ( if the news is true) for combat operations rather to manage evacuation as they are ones running this operation in kabul for the whole coalition. Who will manage the influx, we don't want to be a part of it only a facilitator. Cornering them will leave them with no other choice but to extend their stay and send in more troops or even equipment, playing right into the hands of spoilers. It can get a lot unpredictable from there and will be detrimental to our own interests.

I was very worried after the blasts but to my surprise and relief Biden did not take the bait.

US has huge presence in UAE, their Visa processing office is there. Heck, UAE has literally empty skyscrappers unused that could be used for accomodation.

But Pakistani leadership has to be slave everytime.

4,000 troops is too much. They already have a fortress in Islamabad with next gen surveillience equipment.

What guarantees that there will be no insurgents, combat spies roaming in the streets of Islamabad and Karachi?

Mere khayal se poora mulk hi karaye per dedo. At least it would be an open submission, not hypocritical.

East India company remnants are still here centuries later.

This is a good development and will help Pakistan to mend broken ties with US and west in general.

The airport there is too small, and there aren’t that many hotel rooms there.

Lastly it’s too close to Iran.
Islamabad is a small city to accommodate such large number of ppl so maybe they asked for karachi also close to Port and big city can have more hotels

Yes people are hyping, it will serve the same purpose as Islamabad a transit node out of Afghanistan. Even Turkey is running multiple flights daily.

Not all of them will be troops, the combat ones deployed for security at kabul Airport will leave after 31st. Remnant US troops will be present in Pakistan just to oversee and manage the operations. The figure is inclusive of support staff etc. Basically for the people who they did not manage to evacuate by 31st.

We all know they messed up the evacuation and no way they will manage and finish it before 31st.

Islamabad airport’s apron is too small, it’s already at capacity from all the European air forces.

Only mistake Biden did was not taking Pakistan into confidence if that happened we may see smooth withdrawal also Talibans are agree with further extension. They want legitimacy and money from doners so state business runs smoothly for Daesh best bet are Talibans let them deal with it with tactical US support

US can use Peshawar or any PAF Base no issue I believe
 
. . .
Use their funds to expand it.

Use their funds to build them.


Iranians never opposed USA in Afghanistan, they won't oppose a retreating America in Pakistan.
You expect all that to happen overnight?
Btw a new airport is being built in Gwadar so in a few years this won’t be an issue.

Actually we will not be asking for anything in return. We are against that relationship, the decisions we took say the same. We want trade and a dignified relation not Aid anymore.

Going extremely negative will play into the hands of our enemies. One needs to learn to protect its interests, live in a dignified way and maintain basic form of relations at the same time.

They asked for airbase we denied them as it was against our national interest irrespective of consequences be it FATF hypocrisy or child soldier list drama. They asked for help in evacuation we agreed as it is in our own interest.

There is nothing they can do more from karachi airport that they can not do from karachi embassy, irrespective of the argument that this is not their intent.
