What do you think what will happen after American withdrawl in 2014? TTP will have sanctuary in Afghanistan from where they would re-group and relax...I dont think so america would provide billion of dollars to pakistan against TTP
There's poverty and stagnating employment in USA. They should spend money on their own country; they should stop ALL aid to Pakistan in my opinion. Most of the "aid" goes towards the U.S. Ambassador's favourite hand-picked NGOs; most of the civilian aid is dried up by beauracratic/admin costs which end up going back to Americans
(the same applies to CSF by the way -which we view as reimbursements, not "aid")
Back on point -- what do I think will happen? Afghanistan will descend into chaos and there will be some bloodshed. But not as bad as 1990s because I think Afghans --despite their stupid ethnic rivalries and intolerance towards eachother -- are also becoming tired of all these decades of bloodsheds
TTP wont have a sanctuary in Afghanistan because Pakistan won't allow it. For some reason our government has not had the courage or the balls to go after them INSIDE Afghanistan; the way Turkiye goes after PKK rats in Iraqi Kurdistan.
We lack the political will, and I guess they calculate that it would cause more problems than solutions. I personally dont agree, but anywayz...
Pakistan wouldnt be able to sustain the stationing of 1.2 lakh faujis in FATA, to carry out military operation, regular air strikes, shelling etc...
Thanks to the bloody civilians (those ones who dont pay their taxes). The Army can fight it out on it's own. By virtue and because of these institutional voids, Pakistan Army officers sacrifice from their own pay -- to cover expenses like basic combat gear or modest contribution for internally displaced peoples...
we are forced towards a more "praetorian" approach (in the garb of military industry -- which DOES pay taxes on time to Govt of Pakistan). the Army is not floating in cash, but neither is it lacking resources needed to win.
However many faujis it takes, however many JF Thunders or F-16 needed to wipe out the rats -- they will be used.
Yes it's expensive. Yes we will have casualties and families losing their bread-winners. But that's war! And this is a jihad against evil people who want to weaken and divide Pakistan society.
there are people inside Pakistan who will resist these evil designs -- our enemies should learn that
if they continued on against then stronger TTP for some more years then it will have disastrous impact on our economy, it would be nightmare for pakistan.
war in general is disastrous on ANY economy. . . . Following war, you have an uneasy calm followed by sustainable peace --if the proper measures and policies are taken.
Look at Sri Lanka -- they experienced much worse war for almost 40 years
let the Pak-Army/FC do their jobs while you can go to sleep at night and be much more safe
