trump Freezes All Military Aid To Pakistan

It does not matter what the Ambassadors, the government and the military do to "present their viewpoint", it does not matter how many millions you spend on lobbying or hiring the best lobbying firms in US - the US would still impose restrictions cause Pakistan is NOT doing what the US wants it to do. It is as simple as that.

Cool... Next few months lets invite Putin to Pakistan and sign the S-400 contract... Let the world know we too are weighing our alliances to our national interest...

Hey Russians... .... Want that access to warm waters??? ... You got it.. 100 year lease.

Maybe Trump is the fifth column put in place to ensure Russians win globally...

its a blessing. now we should work hard on our own projects.

US was already taking all its money back by heavily charging us for repairing of these equipments.

He writes about South Asia without understanding the fact that the US does not care about Pakistan's intentions. It is and always has looked for a pretext to attack the country. Over the last decade or so it has attacked Pakistan indirectly that is not visible to the naked eye and now that there's been some reprieve on the Pakistani end these b@stards have their panties in a knot. The one to criticise here is NOT Pakistan but the US itself who has been trying to destroy the country in any which way possible. We need to get the hell out of their influence ASAP.

All hopes are lost at the Afgan front!!!!! Now is the time to retreat!!! This is the third time from the Russia-China axis - with only Pak's help that jinx could be broken for a certain number of years, and then Pak was forced to be the "Pied Piper of Hamelin"!!!! It is spreading at the other fronts too!!! Japan/SK have been advised to sort out the NK debacle with China!!!! Moreover, tax rates have been lowered to bring the US capital back home!!! A classical case of the Imperial fatigue - albeit early within 75 years....

I think this shows a very fundamental misunderstanding of how public policy works in the US. Not denying that ultimately it’s national interests that dictate events, but you are doing yourself a disservice by shutting down any space to influence policy, in whatever limited capacity. Pakistanis tends to see things in black and white, they need to start seeing the grey zones, sometimes.

We have been doing things in black and white since the 80s, thinking that sucking US c*ck will help us. Biggest lie ever. They are finally seeing the grey zones.

From a neutral perspective .This is kind of arrogant diplomacy from US .
And Pakistan should blame their own establishments .

It is declining but it has not stopped. Pak needs to get Americans
and Indians out of Afghanistan if they want to defeat terrorism.

India being involved into Afghanistan is actually good for Pakistan as it will become another drainage for indian money. You need to think deep instead of thinking emotional.

Pakistan doesn't care what US or anyone else does inside Afghanistan. If US and NATO use Pakistani territory just make money out of it.

I take it you are not familiar with the F16 debacle of the 90's?



Old F16 especially the Blk 15 don't require their nose poking its only the latest Blks of the plane that needs their nose poking. same goes for the Cobra's they are now old and Pakistan can mod them as they wish.




Lmao I don’t know anything about them, why do you think I never enter that section

Clamping and jumping for joy at USA cutting aid will stop when cold hard reality's set in.

Free aid is good and when it stops it will hurt especially to S country with no other real.options.

Russia and Europe want cash hard big cash .no such thing as soft loans.

China is fine but now you are completely reliant on them which itself is dangerous .

This is not a situation to be celebrating and deep down real thinkers Know this

Makes sense

Generally, the Pakistani embassy should be working overtime selling Pakistani narratives to US lawmakers. Bringing key lawmakers and influencers to Pakistan to change their perception and would have worked with lobby groups to remove bad perceptions. More importantly, Pakistani embassy should have been working with influential Pakistani-Americans to lobby their cause. If you look at the Indian-American community, they are all 100% pro-India and actively furthering Indian interests. From my experience, Pakistani-American professionals tend to either be apprehensive about Pakistan or down-right hostile. Pakistan can’t afford its best minds turn on the state of their origins. One of the key people that worked on Obama administration’s Pakistan policy was of Pakistani origin herself. There are many like her who are downright hostile to Pakistani point of view. Unless, the embassy works with these brilliant and influential minds, nothing will change in terms of furthering Pakistani interest.

“As it plans to announce new actions on Pakistan very soon, the Trump administration should consider measures that go beyond previous attempts to change Pakistani behaviour,” said Shamila N. Chaudhary, a former director for Pakistan and Afghanistan on the White House National Security Council during the Obama administration.”

People in the embassies are criminals, not all people but. The mission In London for example is known for doing dodgy things.

As for diplomacy by the mission then you can forget it. People in embassis are on holidays to enjoy themselves and not for work. During zardari gov I saw so many dodgy character's who are best described as illeterate morons touring the UK. Nothing much changed in nawaz gov either.

No wonder the army has to do diplomatic work at times.
