I do not see USA abandoning Pakistan entirely (regardless of who win's the next election) the Pentagon need Pakistan to help stabilise Afghanistan, help with counter terrorism efforts, stem the drug narcotics trade as well as trying to keep you from moving all together in the Chinese sphere of influence.
Yes post Abbottabad and the San Bernardino shooting there is a underlying resentment but a country which has a huge nuclear arsenal and a vast Pakistani diaspora can't just be cut off and left to it's own devices. All I would say is be careful there is a old saying 'keep your friends close and keep your enemies closer' many still have not forgiven Pakistan in the US congress as they feel there was double dealings (I refer to the Haqqani network) and some even think Bin Laden was provided sanctuary be it true or not there is certainly a trust deficit present.
Pakistan needs to play the game, you still have cards in your hand but need to use them wisely.
Too late buddy. We are already with China in case you missed all the action in the past year.
Pakistan isn't going to do anything for the Americans. Pakistan is only going to act in its own interest. If our interest somehow converge with theirs so be it. Otherwise it is tough luck. Remember, these F-16s were offered by the Obama administration. We didn't specifically ask for them. As for the Americans being angry at Pakistan, when have they not been angry? We don't care anymore. They can shove their anger where the sun doesn't shine.
LOL @ the narcotics arguments. If the Americans really care, why would they support an Afghan regime that survives on opium trade? The last time I heard even the CIA was benefitting from opium production in Afghanistan.
The Americans support anti-Pakistan elements in Afghanistan. Terror attacks emanating from Indian consulates across the border happen under the noses of the US coalition. We also haven't forgotten the Salala attack which was designed to murder our troops in broad daylight. Pakistanis have fought for these Americans and lost tens of thousands of innocent lives. All we get to hear is to do more. We are not that stupid and we too have a list of grievances.
We are not here to serve anyone, but only our own interests. The Americans better understand this. Let the US abandon Pakistan (whatever that means). We don't care.
