Trump gambles with aid, but Pakistan has the ace

[cloud4000]

Remember there are not only US troops in Afghanistan, but other countries too, especially NATO. Shutting supply lines to US is shutting supply lines for all. Food for thought.

When asked many years ago about the US 'aid' to Pakistan for Pakistan's help in Afghanistan, an American official replied: "We are getting pennies on the dollar" meaning what is being offered by Pakistan is really worth much more than being paid for. Indeed, not all the money is 'reimbursement'. There are military hardware given at virtually free as part of the 'aid'. And yet America knows that what they are getting for their 'aid' is a great buy. No denying that.

and I concur ,.... this is the way forward...

by threatening to make Pakistan north korea general McMaster has kind of accepted that they no longer care about Afghanistan as these actions will guarantee their defeat there (if not already so).....

they want to move against pak economy which is our weak point and its classic to challenge enemy at its weakness (also meaning we are considered atleast a potential enemy if not worse)..

their target is either pak economy or cpec or both...

they have to move caz their proxies have failed... terrorist related deaths in 2017 in pak were 530 something ....probably 20 times as much died in traffic accidents... 10 times that in family feuds street crimes and murders...

with afghan border being fenced completely this its now or never for them

but this is move of desperation its not perfect

Pakistan has to ensure American defeat. A good start with the huge blast in Kabul. Taliban doing What they do best

I think, I was student at that times, when I read papers about the pivotal point in Asia for America. It was back in the 90's.

Americans already assessed that China will become the number one power among the Nations. So they started to devise strategies to encircling China, military, economically and politically.

China was aware of this plan. They played their own game with Pakistan as Friend.

Now the million dollar question is how much China and Pakistan are ready to pay in this game.

This game will only end with one side loosing.

Their game (USA), was as usual, the same they used with Red skin Indians, the natives if America. Give some money, few weapons, and alcohol. Lot of alcohol. Then destroyed them.

Fortunately Pakistan resisted with the help of Allah. And what is better than Allah's help ?

Musharaf did a bad deal glad to know we have a chance to discontinue it

If only CPEC was implemented way back in the 70s when it was first envisioned... our economy would be top notch by now and we would have been able to look US in the eyes and say karlo jo karna hai
