US removes Pakistan from National Security threat list

[Riz]

Now pak should add US name in our national security threat list...

 

[nahtanbob]

Do you even have the vaguest idea as to what you are celebrating ?
This is not the US government taking Pakistan of some vague list, this is one Think Tank taking Pakistan of its list of countries it considers are a threat. There are thousands of such think tanks in the US.

Either some PDF members are cretins or they are very easily pleased.

to be fair Council on Foreign Relations is an influential one

to be fair Council on Foreign Relations is an influential one

To be fair you are right, however policy is made in the White House and there is a irrational executive given to wild tangents based on nothing more than hunches and feelings. It is also an executive that has multiple times diametrically opposed the views of the CFR for little or no rational reason

 

[Humble Analyst]

You can believe your own delusions. what else is new about Pakistanis ?
France and Britain who are NATO members sold weapons to India. No one in CENTO and SEATO came to your aid in 1965 and 1971. That speaks volumes



please do not spread conspiracy theories about CIA and drug trade ? they have a huge budget.

if someone is corrupt what difference does it make ? blaming your ills on outsiders. Tell me something new

You keep moving from logic to insults, seems personal rather than a discussion.
If I need a dose to grow thicker skin than will engage in an insulting match but for now had enough. Hope to never discuss anything with you.

hopefully they are not planning to attack Iran now and need our services again lol.

I guess with Afghanistan peace agreement around the corner US feels that Pakistan is not a threat. The other reason may be that Pakistan is so weak financially and military that US feels less threatened.

More like too big to be swallowed.

relationship are a 2 way street

Exactly and with the USA, you took and took and in return gave sanctions, refused to return our own money, imposed the WoT, cost us $200 billion in losses and have not stopped bitchin' about the peanuts of $33 Billion, most of which was for vital logistical help, and then you help our enemies and allow free rein to bomb our people and then call us sponsors of terrorism. Hypocrisy thy name is America.

 

[LeGenD]

There is plenty of conspiracy theories about Pakistani army officers profiting from drug trade and settling in the West. Leave it at that.

You keep claiming corruption. There is no proof that USA corrupted Pakistani leadership. On the other hand there are plenty of instances where Pakistani leaders refused to do bidding of USA when not paid. What you are arguing you need to be paid more for the services rendered

You keep harping on friendship. Define friendship. And a practical instance of where it makes a difference in grand scheme of things.

I agree with you on this.

It is really shortsighted to blame US for everything bad in Pakistan. Does not help our argument and standing one bit. Pakistan is far from being a perfect society.

But I have an advice for Americans as well:

US - Pakistan relationship should be economics-driven (trade; projects; industry) with people-to-people level contacts in the picture. Transactional dealings with GOP and Pakistan Army from time-to-time won't bring [us] closer as apparent from history. And your leaders/politicians should ADVERTISE your contributions in Pakistan at every forum - this is the best way to create headlines and catch attention of the public.

Look at China - they mention CPEC in every forum.

Point is: what are you doing for Pakistani public?

War On Terror; Drone Strikes; Afghanistan; Taliban; Al-Qaeda Network; Do More - people are really fed up with these talks and themes of discussion. Highlight your POSITIVE contributions to Pakistan.

it is one thing for Pakistan to fight a war against India. it is another thing to expect American taxpayers to finance that war. We will ignore the questions that for everything America does there was bound to be a response from USSR. It brings up the question what was the point of the war in the first place

FYI Pakistan paid for some 80 F-16s in advance, we got neither the 16s nor our money back. Read Pressler amendments. Our nukes were for deterrence against a much larger nuclear adversary. Yet you wanted us to bow down infront of that country instead of defending ourselves---No one is asking your highness to finance our wars, just asking to stop interfering in our internal affairs and stop imposing discriminatory sanctions against Pakistan that favor of India (like you did after 65, and your sanctions hurt us but benefited India since their major supplier was your enemy USSR). Friendship is different than being a satellite of the US, which unfortunately some Pakistani pdf members want us to be.

 

[CHACHA"G"]

Nothing more nothing less.

the moment they got what they wanted, from us new era of sanctions and co. will start again.
I lost all thrust or I should say that I have full certitudes about nature of the relationship USA made and will make with us.

I don't know why , but I still have some hope left …… I am sure USA will not repeat her mistakes …. Now time and things are different then 90s and 2000s ……
All the best for future relationship … USA is worlds largest economy and we Pakistan need best economical relationship with them..

Good, hopefully it's a start.

I want this to be a good start... We can help each other.... Just imagine if USA start opening some industry (because of cheap labour) in Pakistan .. or they start importing hallal meat from Pakistan.....

 

[Haroon Baloch]

Sooo.. Can we have our F-16s now?

 

[WarKa DaNG]

Indian diplomacy at it's best by isolating Pakistan

Upgrade all our F 16s to V standard
